Steelfish is a good looking watch.
Deepsea is my favorite diver by far though. |

I too am a fan of both Rolex and Breitling divers. I opt for the more modest sized Superocean 2 and Submariner Date

As far as divers there are only 2 in my book.
Rolex "Dwellers". Or Blancpain Fathoms series. The last gen 40MM for small wrists, new gen for a more current look or 500 fathoms to go bonkers. My "beater" daily wear is a Ball Trieste. Worn to hell but solid as a rock. |

Great watches guys.
I shot a new pic of the Fish. Cheers.

No. X-Plus came with both bracelets (although Pro2 was used only briefly before the "Arrow Hand" model). Read more here:

Sorry about that. You were referring to that red second hand on the DS. Stupid me.

Doesn't a Seawolf have a deeper rating than the Deepsea?

Both great looking pieces!
And OP - to your original statement about Breitling doing the XL size better - I can't really argue with you, lol. Big is what Breitling does, and they do it well! |

Nice duo u have
Personally never been a Breitling fan due to the bz dials. <- disclaimer. Lol But I noticed the twisting of the bracelet on the couple of pics posted. Is this the norm? That would drive me crazy. Lol

Wow. I never even noticed that "twisting". How does that bother you?

Bought a Breitling to hold me over when my 16610 was being serviced back when my sub my one and only:
I really liked it but every bit of surface area was polished and drove me nuts. Looks like your Steelfish is brushed which is nice. Ended up selling the Breitling which led me down a rabbit hole that led to this: which is the ultimate diver IMHO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can be an4l when it comes to certain things. Lol Prob just use to the tight tolerance of the Rolex oyster bracelet on my own watches, as well as thousands of Rolex wrist pics I have seen over the years. Gives me new appreciation for the oyster bracelet.

@BT1985: That Colt has pretty much the same case design as the SteelFish. The main difference is case and bracelet being polished. Handsome watch.

Oh don't get me wrong the new Dwellers are definitely on top of the diver watches (technically). But they're in the 10K price range while this SteelFish with similar (or almost similar) features can be obtained for 2K-2.5K preowned.
