Hi ! Definitely a dressy watch with a real (chinese) flying Tourbi... There are some Breguet for 500-600 available, my real target being the Vacheron with flying Tourbi but it's 900 dollars...

Hi, I haven't talked to God for some time, but with Jesus, yes ! In fact... Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life oh yes he knos me and he knos I'm right and he's been telling me everything is alright... (Tony Banks/Phil Collins/Mike Rutherford)

An other question to be seriously raised. Until now, I have always tested the crystal (sapphire or mineral) with the water drop test. And it appeared to be reliable, at least against what was announced in the descriptions I read. Of course I tried the test on my new "thick mineral glass" Breitling... and the drop stays... So, can anyone help to find an other method to check if this Superocean is really mineral or finally maybe sapphire ...??

You're wiser than me

Thx both ! That's why I'm here : share what has become my new passion (and obsession). I also learnt a little bit more on how to take pics thanks to Pug ! Just received my Steelfish Super Ocean, I have to leave one watch. :-) @resh : the Kalashnikov can be found here : http://www.kalashnikovwatches.com/ But you can get it almost half the price on *bay.ch I can PM you the seller's name if you want. I don't know his status right now (I mean if the watches are still available). I ordered an alligator strap with red stiching for it, as I got obsessed by this when I saw Flavour's Fav avatar...

I agree with you, but I think that the flaw of the digits colour is completely balanced by the price I paid it (Swiss ETA inside) ! I have no hesitation handing this watch to anyone who want to have a closer look. As a watch it's beautiful through it's simplicity and finishing, as a rep it's more than decent. I've hesitated a wile with the Chrono version, but the movement matter made me go back to reason. I have to follow a psy training to tell myself the 7750 is a good movement as well. BTW, you can get the chrono for close under 200 dollars shipped from the same dealer...

Thank you ! In this case, I got the Swiss version thanks to Saswatch who offered a very decent price. I was not a fan of it until I read so many good reviews on the thing...And all were right ! I just love it ! Today I received my Steelfish ! Ordered last saturday... That's faster than a purchase on ebay in my own country ! And guess what ? You were all right ! This watch is awesome, and I am surprised of the qualtity you can get for a little bit more than 150 dollars... Impressive, really. For me the finish of the watch is probably better than my Overseas, which is already close to excellent. The bracelet of the Overseas remain the best I've seen to date (except the screws which are really b*tch*s) Well, to be honest, let's say it's very different. As the Steelfish has so many little parts and a rotating bezel, whereas the Overseas breathes simplicity. So it's not fair to compare. Back to the Breitling, then, ok, I've an Asian movement. But it really sweeps like my Swiss ones. I DO hope it will last. Up to now I never met any problem with my 21J asians...so... Let's pray. For the lack of AR coating, I must agree that it's a plus to have it. And here the dial is so beautiful that it can only looks far better with AR. But let's be honest too : the thick mineral glass without AR is just amazing and very good. White dials with a flat glass are visually very good too. And it's more or less half the price. If I get the opportunity to get a good bargain with the Swiss version with AR, I will surely not hesitate one second ! But, hey, let's enjoy this one first. BTW, I received 2 Steel bracelets... I will post pictures within this week-end and hope to do this watch justice. Thank you all for having convinced me purchasing my first Breitling. Before the Steelfish, I never had a look in this section, I was thinking that Breitling was just too much for me. Well, how wrong I was !

And BTW, if really a MB reseller certified the thing, I wonder why we all are so reluctant to have our reps serviced by our local watchsmithes !!

Hi, I sent a second message. With my real id this time (the other one was a 0 account so maybe that explains why I was asked for a particular identification). Here's the answer : Then, let him burn in hell with the buyer... He's either a shill or retarded (sorry, I rarely lack of respect with the guys I talk to) And here's my answer Well, I think this guy rather sees me as the scammer, so, let him be happy with his piece of &

Hi, I'm waiting for mine, so I will come with pics, and probably a micro-review some days after. Sonicwinter : was the lack of AR disturbing on the white ?

I did. But I had to confirm my identity by giving... a credit card number or something ! I guess this is typical from ebay.com to avoid spam. I don't have this in the ebay of my country. And I won't give any personal data to send a PM to an unknown ebayer. I contacted the seller as well...

Disappeared...

Obviously *bay does not care AT ALL about at least 2 guys pointing out a fake... I wonder why we persist reporting this kind of scam. After all, both *bay and the buyer paying 1000+ USD without verifying a minimum are not worth doing that. Are people truely so stupid ? I have to wake up...

BTW, did someone notice it's not 42..?

Sell the same thing twice...very common. But here the flaws are huge : anyone will spot you, not speaking of the date or whatever, just of the paradox between the various markings. Something must be wrong. And why aren't these 03-92 available from the other core dealers ? Anyway, if the case has been done, all the rest should easily follow.

If you get the SS bracelet version, you've no issue with the strap, as the bracelet seems to be very good. Of course, if you're a leather fan, it's an other topic. Well, I still DO think that the white without AR might be more than good. I have many watches with a white dial, all without AR, and they look definitely better than the black ones without AR...

Here are some shots. I trust PT has nothing against. Size's indeed better. The back too. But as mentionned, for the moment it seems we have some kind of hybrid watch. As the other dealers don't bring it yet, we may suppose it's a prototype, no ? I too feel we may soon get a close to perfect rep. I stick to the 39 for the moment. Believe it or not, it's a fantastic watch for the price. And 39mm on a small wrist simply fits perfectly. And there's a real nice choice (PVC, orange dial etc...). Here's my favorite to date : Find a black strap with orange stitching, and I think you have a "big boob" watch ! (I'm referring to a thread I once read from Clive, where it seems that orange watches are teasing big boob girls..) I do apologize to all girls with small boobs...

:yahoo: Get the Breitling !!

If you choose the 168 USD version (which you obviously did), I would go for white, that will make you partly forget it has no AR. Excellent choice ! I would have done the same

Hi azerbyjam ! Did it too. Hope it's not too late.

I suppose it's because they remain "quite affordable". The Timewalker chrono is something like 2800 euros, but if you go for a Star model it's rather 2000, and for the Summit range you can buy them for less than 1000.

http://cgi.ebay.com/MONT-BLANC-Timewalker-...1QQcmdZViewItem All's wrong : faux chrono, dial, white datewheel, crown, lugs, markings and rotor logo... and of course an Asian 21J... Any idea to prevent someone paying 1000 dollars for a 50 dollars rep ?? :yucky:

Thx That was a micro review, I did it more to share pics than to spot the flaws. If the Chrono version would not be a 7750, I would surely have gone for it. Here too, you can get it under 200 bucks. I'm a Montblanc fan I must say, and can only regret that only the Timewalker models are well repped.

Stop shaking these Breitlings under my nose, please. I'm waiting mine and I can't stand it anymore !!! Bravo for the review and detailed explanations !

It's my feeling too. Aren't link models supposed to have the same (well known) bracelet shape ? I'm all the more surprised as PC (and probably soon TT) are not used to sell fantasy watches, am I wrong ? Anyway, I like it, and I wouldn't hesitate if the price belongs to low end prices (90-120)
