White Steelfish on Titanium Gator


mezzanine

Recommended Posts

A couple of shots of the white-dialed Steelfish SuperOcean and a genuine alligator strap I bought from HKtan. The colour of gator strap is 'titanium'. I have the gen black rubber strap as well, but that seemed a little too harsh for the white dial, and is reserved for the black dialed version that I'll hopefully receive soon...

Notice the Breitling deployant-

dastrix: the strap is genuine alligator from HKtan, one of the talented strapmakers on the darkside- cost was $99 shipped...

The deployant is a rep Breitling deployant that I bought from one of the dealers.

I'm wondering whether the strap might actually go better with my Graphite-dial Evo...?

that looks fantastic... I have been waiting for someone with orders from HK ... you had no problems with the big C .. he .. like many send them from China without CITIES certificate ... has anyone experienced problems before..?? I've been holding off ordering until i could gather some info on the shipments from HK (reptile )

lanikai, as far as the shipping- I didn't run into any problems. The strap took a few weeks to get, once payment had been sent. I haven't had any problem with customs issues, being in Canada...from China, HK, or even Europe.

I think you'll be pleased with Aaron's work.

I was torn between this and more of a tan/khaki colour, but after trying out a lighter strap on my white-dialed Chopard GTXL, I wasn't that sold on the lighter strap, lighter dial combo. At the same time, I don't like the gen Breitling rubber strap on the white-dialed SFSO. I find the contrast black/white isn't that complimentary- but to each his own....

I've got a black dialed Steelfish that I've been waiting for since early August that's going to get the rubber strap...

Which dealer did you get the buckle from?

Wow...I LOVE the look!! The titanium strap goes very well wih the white dial. I think I may need to get one of those straps!! :D

HBB should be there tomorrow.... ;)

I'm telling you guys, I wasn't that excited about the Steelfish until I made the strap switch. When I'd snapped the pics at the beginning of the thread, I hadn't actually worn the watch yet with the alligator strap. Normally I'd hesitate to put an exotic strap on a no non-sense diver, but this combo is awesome.

The fact that it's grey makes it more complimentary to the white dial, then if I'd attached my gen black rubber. The grey is neutral, and the alligator grain of the leather is awesome in a more slick and masculine way because of the steelish tone of the colour. It's really hard to capture the look through the pics...I may try to snap a few more.

It's taken a watch that I liked, but wasn't as thrilled with as, say, my ceramic HBB or Cousteau, and has put it up into that category.
