"Hooked" a Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish!!
I was feeling “Blue” due to only having one Blue faced watch in the collection. So after spending a week with my Cream Breitling Superocean Steelfish on my wrist, I figured why not get a second in Blue. Searching high and low I found a good deal and voila!! My Breitling Superocean Steelfish in Blue! I absolutely love the steelfish, the perfect size at 44mm and thickness. I am so glad I picked this up it’s a definite keeper!!

Sweet. A now discontinued classic. Mix things up a bit with new straps and I you ll love it. Brown Croco for cream and OR for blue!

Congrats, that's truly a great Breitling. I'll never understand why they decided to stop making them.

I have the cream, Brietling called it silver. It is a great watch.
I do not understand why it was discontinued.

Very nice, I think I'll have to look for one too. The blue dial is really nice.

I've always been interested in the Breitling line of watches. Now that I've gotten the DateJust out of the way, I've been eyeing the Steelfish. It's been hard locating one on the forums, and I don't know what a good price/deal is for that model. Especially since there's not a long history for it. Also, I've been totally scared out of my pants with the fake/replica steelfishes I've seen. It's pretty tough to tell the difference all the time because of the variations out there.
I'm hoping some Breitling fans could help me out with advice on what to look out for with the Steelfish line. Thanks! |
