No question about it: Steelfish all the way. Any color would do. I prefer it on OR but a croco strap will give it that extra classier look.

Thanks everyone for the input so far. This is kind of a tough one. I dont see me selling the SW ever and have wondered about that when looking at the Steelfish so that is a good point. I think what Im going to do is go down to my AD today and try both on.

I do know on thing that Im blessed to have this problem. :lingsrock:

Went to the AD last night to give it a test run. I was really hoping they had a Steelfish left but didnt. Tried on the Abyss and have to admit I kind of like it. Had my Seawolf on when I went and the Abyss is a lot lighter then the seawolf but still has good wrist presence. By the way I got to try on the Chronomat B01 and the Transocean B01 all I have to say is WOW! When it comes time to decide on those it is going to be really tough!!

They had the yellow there and tried it on but didnt appeal to me. I like the all black look but I still like the red and the blue looks really great too.

Agree that blue is pretty unique. I like it a lot.

Well after much thought. I decided to go with the Steelfish. Although I love the Abyss a lot I thought the Steelfish would be more along my tastes right now. I am fooling with the idea of selling off a few more watches and getting the abyss. I must really be Breitling crazy like I thought. The watch isnt here as I cant fins anyone that has it so I have to have it shipped. As soon as it gets here I will put up some pics.

Thanks everyone for you valuable input. It was much appreciated.

Shipped as to you AD or as you are buying used? I did not think there were many new ones to be had beyond what is on the AD shelves.

At any rate congrats! I love my fish, it is my only Breitling. Don't think I will ever get rid of it.

Yep... I had to get it used. I looked everywhere as I specifically wanted the cream dial and no one had it. I guess it works out for me in the end. I can put that extra money towards my Chronomat B01 I want.
