Loving my new Breitling Superocean Steelfish.

[Altair]

I have been on the search for a Breitling Steelfish for a couple of weeks, my regular AD was out on the dial I wanted but another store had it on a strap, my Ad asked me to hold out on the other guy and give him a couple of days, as usual he comes through. found me a Steelfish on bracelet for less than what the other guy was charging for it on leather



I wanted an everyday brushed watch that was on the simpler side IE no chrono and with a white or black dial. My choices were between the Omega Seamaster and the Breitling Steelfish for around 1900USD (my limit). Decided to go with the Breitling simply because I like the design better and I did have and sell a Seamaster before.

Now that it is on my wrist I dont know why I even considered the Omega. The Breitling blows it away completely!!! Here is what i really love about it:

1- Best damn sapphire crystal I have ever seen. All Breitlings have amazingly good crystals, feels like I can reach in and play with the hands.

2- The case is beautifully formed and feels like it can take a beating and still look good. reminds me of Rolex in that regard.

3- Best bracelet in this price range. a bit lighter and not as solidly built as the Speed or Pro bracelets, but still excellent.

4- The off white cream dial turns silver in certain lighting and is absolutely dazzling.

5-Attention to detail displayed here in the applied logo, indices,0 bezel etc simply cant be had at this price range. Just fantastic.

6- One of the best lume performance I have seen.

7- Extremely comfy to wear, the lug to lug case design forms nicely on wrist.

8- It's design is unique and interesting to me with that busy-yet-not-cluttered dial. Gorgeous!!!


I have gotten as many compliments on it, and enjoy it as much, as my other higher end Breitlings, Rolxs, and Panerai. So glad I got it!!!!

Sorry about the pic quality on some of these, but I was in a hurry at the time of the unboxing:




















Now here is a little surprise, I mentioned to my Ad that my Panerai Ad had been kind enough to through in a genuine Panerai stand and he told me he had an extra one that I could have.
