Hi guys, once the summer/ spring vibes are getting in, I tend to buy a rubber strapped watch every season. Last year I had to get the blue rubber strapped Avenger II GMT.

I still have this piece above but I recently saw the new launched Superocean Blacksteel. A bit more badass looking so... here it is!

 

The nearly 3 days shipping time nowaydays is a party! The deal was smooth as always thanks to Andrew from Trustytime. He never let me down in the last 10+ years. Thumbs up!

 

Some specs from Trustytime:

Case: First thing I noticed was the 100% superb smooth DLC'd case. It seems the HE valva is also actually working on this modell which is pretty unique if you ask me. The factory did a great job on that. Really worth mentioning.

 

Bezel: The bezel has a satin/matte/ brushed kinda finish which pops out strongly, I love the combination of the two different finishings. The numbers in the bezel are also very crisp.

 

Dial: The dial finish is really on a high level. To be honnest these GF watches are extremely close to GEN and the watch does give you this GEN feeling when handeling. What also caught my eye is the extreme smooth sweeping of the second hand. None of my watches are running that smooth and steady. Also the dial pops out very nice due to the strong AR'd crystall.

 

Strap: Butter soft with nice details like the holes and the text "Breitling'' on the back, Also I like these type of clasps!

 

For the BR nitpickers, the datewheel is not sunken so you guys will love that. I am impressed with the overall quality factories nowadays are producing. The difference between REP and GEN are getting extremely close these days. I am happy with this all black summer watch... It looks sporty. 100% satisfied!

 

 

ONCE YOU GO BLACK, YOU...... TELL ME!

 

Enjoy the pics I took.
