    Breitling SteelFish, men's watch

    I've owned this for over 10 years and it never ceases to amaze me.

    I owned one for a while, thought it was a super watch that I regret letting go.

    The successor wasn't bad but I find it a bit boring and mundane. Never understood why they ceased the production of this old model.

    Cheers.

    I imagine it was in a good way. 10 yrs is a long time

    I’ve just picked up the earlier version of this, 1999 model - I have been impressed with the build quality of all the Breitling I’ve owned. They have some styling aspects more recently that don’t gel with me, but they’re good bits of kit.
    And yours is a cracking looking one. :)

    Always liked the Steelfish and Breitling in general. Cracking watch!

    I’ve always liked them but generally preferred the SeaWolf although I’ve read a few articles that the crown stem/tube on the SeaWolf forms part of the middle case and if there are any problems such as cross threading Breitling have to replace the middle case. This always put me off keeping a SeaWolf long term and I’m wondering whether this applies to the Steelfish as well?

    I had a black dial SF on Breitling leather & deployant for a few years but sold it on here. I still miss it now and again (like now, reading this thread!). Built like a tank.

    Yes indeed. I like all Breitlings that have brushed finish. Navitimer Fighter's Edition is the coolest of the series, Blackbird and the new Chronomat B01 blue with brushed case.

    Love it. I have the limited edition GMT version
    It's just a matter of time...

    Only thing I don’t like is the slanty centre links. Never could get my head round that aesthetic. If I bought one I think I’d try it on mesh or perhaps the Breitling rubber.
