Sold my SMP Chrono and getting...
The Breitling Steelfish XL PLus. I love the dial design of it and its also blue.
I've decided that I only need one Chrono and the face of the SMP Chrono is similar to my SMP Bond. Best of all, both deals have been done locally!

Just came back from Barrie, ON. Got the Steelfish on the wrist now... photos of the SF XL PLus at 44mm.
Its a heavy watch, I think heavier than the PO. It has a nice substantial heft to it. The Pro II bracelet is beautiful, much better than Pro I. The downside is the lack wet suit extension, but I don't dive anyway - just the usual desk diver sport.

Wow Vernon. a Breitling I actually like. All I ever see here in Vancouver are the over stylised ones, all bling! this one looks really nice, solid and understated. Excellent choice. If it is not too rude may I ask what sort of price range in CAD$ are we looking at for that one?
Wear it in good health! All the best. Ian |

Yeah, the dial on this one really caught my eye. There was the 40mm version but found it too small so the XL-Plus fits the bill. Breitling is phasing the 40mm version and just sticking with the 44mm.
Last week, I was over at Vaughan Mills and the MSRP on these was $2675 CAD + taxes. The most that the AD would give was 23% off. I got this preloved and got an awesome deal as its only 3 months old with open papers for $1650 CAD. Quote:

Yeah, I've seen the white dial, but the blue dial gave it more personality.
