Thread: Breitling Steelfish - good choice?

    Breitling Steelfish - good choice?

    I am interested in Breitling SteelFish, Black Dial with rubber. Is it good choice in your opinion? Or give me a tip to watch (similar price like Breitling Stellfish). Thanks

    For the price it is the best money can buy, I have one, but I would get it on a bracelet over rubber. For a bit more you can get a Omega PO and this you should get on rubber.

    I have one - although white face. Probably my favourite watch, solid and rugged. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend but get it on the bracelet as mentioned earlier

    good choice on getting the steelfish...the superocean abyss which replaced that model is a design mess. definitely look for one on the bracelet unless you absolutely only wear watches on straps.

    i was able to chase one down a couple of months ago with some help from an AD.

    It's up there with my Speedy as my favourite watch. I hated the bracelet and immediately ordered it on Breitling leather and deployant.
    Be aware that when I got mine new a few months ago, the whole of the Goldsmith group had 3 left nationally. I tried plenty of other AD's with no luck.

    An often overlooked watch, but it is amongst the best in terms of value as a pre-loved sale.

    Steel over rubber for me too.

    Re: Breitling Steelfish - good choice?

    Rubber is in my opinion for Steelfish the best choice...:)

    I hate the useless numbers and hash marks, the dial on most Breitlings is way too busy IMHO..

    I'd go for a PO or SBDX001 :) ...

    Omega is good, but Seiko, really no:)

    Absoltely cracking watch, and I'd still have another without a doubt. In fact I may need to start chasing one down if I decide to sell my Airwolf.

    If you're looking for alternatives to a bracelet, then the silver dial looks superb on a brown calf strap. Black and blue dials look good on rubber, but I'd want the Ocean racer deployment or Diver ProII on deployment as the standard tang buckle is a pain to put on due to the grippy nature of rubber and the buckle design

    Make sure you buy from a reputable dealers / private seller. The steelfish is one of the best faked breitlings.

    A two/three year old Steelfish in very good condition is around Ģ1200. The same PO is around Ģ1500. Buy from SC if you can as the fakes of these two are very good, but do your homework, really know the real watch inside and out, and if you search there are threads on the tells.

    Silver / White dial definately works on brown strap. Here's mine sporting a nice Toshi - now on the bracelet and can't for the life of me remember where this strap is ( maybe I sold it :roll: )

    Re: Breitling Steelfish - good choice?

    yes, the Steelfish dial is more cluttered [than the PO], but the level of detail and extra touches (for example the chapter/reflector ring gives the dial added depth), imo puts it at a higher level than the PO. plus, i think it's about time for Omega to ditch the external HRV.

    i love the seiko MM...just as good as the Superocean but in a different way.

    I found it too small. The Seawolf would be a better tool watch option.

    Wow - never heard the Steelfish called small - event the Standard (non-Xplus) is 42mm. I thought the Seawolf was only 44mm

    Breitling increased the SS Seawolf to just over 45mm about two years ago. still, the seawolf ain't that much bigger than the steelfish tbh (and the seawolf is a couple mm thicker too). i doubt that the poster actually tried the steelfish on, maybe he's confusing it with the standard [smaller] superocean.
