darth Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Did anyone else notice that Joshua has a new white dialed SOSF in his new offerings? H-factory, not quite the same water resistance.... Anyone seen/heard/smelt anything else about this great looking watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgchrono2 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 lets wait for the new SOSF ises to be issued & check if they are good enough to buy ... i dont like white dial in general ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Im actually very excited from what I see so far. The white SF Is one of my favorite watches...gen or rep. Let the breakdown begin....go fish. Gen on bottom Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 1. case looks to be the better one... 2. nice to see the rehaut markers lumed... 3. tough to tell if the color is similar to the gen...gen is creme...this looks to be a little lighter - similar to the old "silver/white" dial... 4. tough to tell - but it doesn't look like they were able to get the concentric circles of the dial to reflect light like the gen...that's the biggest diff in rep vs. gen...the gen dial really reflects the light... 5. the lume still isn't as flush/smooth as the gen...matter of fact, if you look at the 2005 steelfish x-plus gen, the lume application on this rep is similar...the current steelfish gen has terrific smooth lume fills... 6. has a nice breitling date font... 7. colorless ar?...wrong - needs to have that nice Breitling blue hue... overall - a nice build...especially the lume...dial details, case details seem to be same...looks like the best part of this is that the dw, dial lume and movement are nice adders...and they used the better case...it's definitely one of the best builds i've seen...the AR being coloreless isn't a good thing...and the jury is still out on the concentric circles... here's how a gen dial catches light: should this thread be eventually moved to the Breitling forum?!

maxman Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks for your thoughts R..Im really liking this SF. I feel overall it's very well done. I added two gen pics for reference. +1.. to be moved to the Breitling area. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Dear Mods, Please move this thread to the Breitling forum. Thanks! Everyone else, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures! I wanted to buy a gen Steelfish from an AD recently, but could not find a SOSF in stock. Regarding this recent re-appearance- it re-triggered all sorts of regret... I should have bought one years ago. Perhaps a really good rep will fill that void in my soul. Here's to 2012 bringing a wave of super Breitling reps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking of ording It today. Im still waiting for them to bring back the Seawolfs...got to have a yellow SW In the old collection. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latara785 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've seen the pics on Tony, Andrew and Josh sites, it is available only in white, I was about to email Mary to get one of hers in black (not a fan of the white one) when i heard of the H factory new SOS, now I'm wondering if the H factory will come later also in blue and black, and how good is it compare to Mary's offering to justify close to $63.00 to $83.00 more + shipping?

Jkay Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 For reference, the "late great" Swiss Steelfish. If the new one proves to be better, then long live the new king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Colourless AR kills it for me. Which modders supply blue AR anymore ... anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 colorless ar, lousy marker lume fills (very uneven)...and the black and blue do not have the reflective sheen of the gen...and the blue from the website pix, still seems to be wrong...case is same as the older reps...besides the use of superlume and the rehaut lumed markers, the only other thing that's nice about this new offering is the dw (the font looks to be crisp and thick)... interestingly enough, the silver (white/creme) gen's dial doesn't reflect the light like the black and blue...so the rep is close in that regard...but the color is off... let's do some math... 1) buy the better swiss v1 fish (similar to Jkay's) for approx $300...(yes they are rare these days, i know) 2) relume it for less than $200 (hands, dial, rehaut)... cost - $500....cost of new rep with shipping ($400)...hmmm.... btw - will be nice to know if the nickel-plated swiss movement in the v2 is indeed swiss/eta...can't wait for someone to shoot a macro of the balance wheel jewel on this one... all in all - if you're dying for a fish, this one's available...but at 1/3 to 1/4 the price of a pre-owned gen, i'm not so sure...

Snpr9696 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok...here are a few pics of the SOSF I got from Sead. Swiss ETA although I have not pulled the back of to confirm yet. I will take more pics later but here are a few as well as a short video to get us started. Also a few pics with my older "Swiss ETA SOSF I got last year from Silix.

Jkay Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 So the AR is blue ... not colorless. Just a better grade of AR, so the blue is more faint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snpr9696 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 You are correct. Very faint bluish purple similar to gen. Not overpowering at all. When looked at straight on there is no evidence of bluish coloring only at angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
