Pugwash Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Ok, now photographers should be able to grasp the gravity of this statement moreso than non-photographers, so here we go... This photograph was taken without a polarising filter and has had no Photoshop retouching used at all. It's straight from iPhoto. As you can see from the traces of blue sky reflected, I've not even set up the decent light tent. No retouching, no polariser. The AR is that good. Ok, off to the pub, but I thought I'd best shoot one shot for you before I went.
Seadweller4000 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Great one Pug, as always. I have mine on the way and this is even increasing my wish to get it on my wrist! Congrats!
JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Oh. My. God. I was so set on the blue/blue combo. This is outrageously good looking.
Pugwash Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 I was so set on the blue/blue combo. This is outrageously good looking. Can I pick 'em or can I pick 'em?
RichBlack Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 WOW, great shots Pug! I still have a few days wait before my Blue Steelfish arrives in the post. With Phobands seafish 'glowing' post and now yours, that few days now seems even longer Can't wait to get this watch on my arm!
Rolexman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Your hour markers look nicely filled with lume... no whip cream for you
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I am so glad I went for this combo now! Great shots as ever Pug!
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) PS I hope they have put the crystal in mine though Edited March 20, 2007 by b16a2
JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Can I pick 'em or can I pick 'em? Evidently. grr... I may revert to my original plan for waiting for Jay to get this one... more time to decide.
jkerouac Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Crap. I just saw these pictures, and then the pictures of the upcoming two-tone Evos (I already have one Evo, which is fantastic). So I had to ask myself, what about a two-tone Steelfish? I pulled out my Breitling catalog and..... nothing. There are no two-tone Steelfish. Eventually I plan to add a nice two-tone to my collection, and I thought the Steelfish might be the candidate. But I will have to look elsewhere.
pwygant Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 The problem with this forum is the constant wants and needs of its users like myself. I few days ago I thought I was done with my quality over quantity collection. I never even visited the Breitling section before today as I didn't care for the "blingy look" of the brand itself. However, after checking out the pictures of this steelfish with white face and brown strap, I need to add one to my collection as well... Dang!
Rxus Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 I'll defintely add a white face later on to my collection and i'm get the AR ETA version becasue you cant see that much detail on the blue dial I have..Nor the black from what I can tell on pics.
Guest paneraifreak Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 My blue SO has become my daily wearer. Maybe Pug or someone else can comment on the bezel? I read somewhere that the bezel on this rep is not put on the watch in the same way as other reps. In fact i feel the bezel on the SO is quite sturdy, in fact mine clicks nice and tight but there is no loose play whatsoever. Super tight on the watch! I will also say the this rep is most likely the most solidly built rep out there: it is built like a tank! Yes, it is heqavy but it also presents its weight well: it not only looks manly/chunky but also feel like it can take a pretty good beating? What do oyu guys think??
Pugwash Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Posted March 21, 2007 Maybe Pug or someone else can comment on the bezel? Solid, 120-click bezel. Very positive in its action. Still, nothing beats the AR.
chubbchubb Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 This watch is definitely on my list.... up on top... thanks Pugster, for another nice shot confirming the inevitable....
Pugwash Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Posted March 21, 2007 This watch is definitely on my list.... up on top... thanks Pugster, for another nice shot confirming the inevitable.... Well, tonight, it's getting a full pictorial review. Hide your wallets.
Justasgood Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Well, tonight, it's getting a full pictorial review. Hide your wallets. Damn nice watch Pug! Guess I'll have to sell a watch or two and pick one of these up. Great photo as expected.
PrimuZ Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 WOW! Nice photo. I'm looking for my first watch. I'm thinking the Steelfish is a winner!
coolfire Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Well, tonight, it's getting a full pictorial review. Hide your wallets. Damn... I'm getting outta here!!...
