The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi does anybody know how the new colt compares to the quality of the steelfish? looking at the fish the domed glass looks much more substantial but i really like the look of the pro 3 bracelet compared to the pro 2

I think the Steelfish was made to occupy a higher tier level in the Breitling Lineup compared to the Colt, which seems made to be entry level.

That being said, the Colt being a Breitling and therefore isnt a slouch in terms of quality or detailing, i would go with which overall looks better to you as AFAIK the dimensions of both watches are similar (the Steelfish is probably a touch thicker as its meant to have more WR), and the newer Colts have some design cues similar to the old Steelfish (similar numbers as well as Concentric circles)

I have the Colt A17388 with the Pro 3 bracelet. The quality is outstanding. I've had it now for 14 months and wear it 4 days a week in rotation with my Submariner.
As per the comparison to the Steelfish, I do not know. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Colt again, entry level Breitling or not.

thank you the one i was looking at buying i forgot to bid at the end on ebay thank you for your advice

Yes the Colt is a much better Watch than the Submariner, hence I can totally understand why it gets worn the greater part of the week!

Haha I wouldn't quite say it's a much better watch but the quality is definitely there, especially when you compare pricing!
