By-Tor Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I love my Rolexes but they NEVER impress anyone... gen or rep... they all just wonder how light and flimsy they are (for such an expensive watch). But when they see this, they're all like "holyfu'kingshit it's a TANK". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Agreed. Love the Fish style and balance on the wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackjo Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 That is a sweet piece, BT. I miss mine. I love the thick indices around the lume of the older dials. Mind if I share a shot too? This is mine that was bought back in 06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Excellent jackjo. I remember that one... you made a comparison review with Omega SMP. I have brushed bracelet. They changed that somewhere around '06 I think... or was the polished mid links version optional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackjo Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) No, it originally came with the Professional bracelet. Breitling changed to the Pro II maybe the next year or 2 years later. It looks more modern on the Pro 2 I will admit but I am just an old fashioned guy. I actually recently picked up an original gen Steelfish Pro bracelet from a member here. I want to build the original blue steelfish that I had once again. I was pretty close to buying the gen on ebay the other night. Edited October 31, 2012 by Jackjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackjo Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 LIke I was saying about the older dials. My buddy purchased a gen black dial from our Breitling dealer 2 years ago and the dial looks terrible. The hour markers look like they were taken off of a Yachtmaster or something. They changed the dials of the last few model years. Never cared for them after that. Yours are super thick. That is the personality of this watch are the markers IMO.
