Nightwatch Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi Experts and Owners, I was checking out today if I should get Toros Steelfish V2, H - Factory as my first Breitling rep. After deciding YES, I stumbled on this watchuseek post (nice one): http://forums.watchuseek.com/f67/breitling-superocean-steelfish-x-plus-a17390-468978.html and found the seconds hand looks quite different (please check pics), the dial numbers a little. Question: is this noticeable in real life? Should I bother or take it anyway? Would You buy Yours anytime again? Attached some comparison pics of a gen and below as last Toros V2. Thx for any answers/comments because I am yet deciding. Its a short post because I am in that "cantwaitanymorehaveto getitnowstate" How does it feel? did You waterproof Yours? Pls. help me out guys:) enjoy the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 If you are referring to the arrow tip vs. the box second hand the gen was made both ways. the original gen SOSF had the box second hand Breitling later switched to the arrow shaped hand.

hackR Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 i've owned every color of rep steelifish v1...as good as they are, there's NOTHING like the gen...the dial and the fit/finish of the gen is 10x better than the rep...and the rep is very good!...i purchased a gen blue dial (the rep isn't even close in color to the gen!) and have a gen black dial franken rep...the dial makes all the difference...the refraction of light that comes off the gen dial's concentric circles is stunning... that said, the reps are good - but noticeable not close to gen...so if you don't care about how close it is to gen, buy rep, wear and enjoy!

frankt Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Remarkably good reps of this watch have been around for at least 5 years now!....At one time Asian movement models could be had for under $100 at a lot of sources... I still have a blue dial model that finds its way into my rotation every couple of months...The fact that it has an Asian movement, and no discernable A/R doesn't bother me at all...

Nightwatch Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 One month later....... Thank You all, convinced me, so I ordered it with white dial on the 10th November and got caught in the Asian postage tohuwaboo after the 11.11. so another weekend without it arriving will pass.... patience..... patience..... patience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
