Pugwash Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm not an expert on this watch, so I can't really go into its history or any interesting facts. Besides, you're not here for that. You're here for the pictures, right? So, without any further ado, here we go. It arrived on a steel bracelet, but I only just reinstalled that for today's photos. I bought the optional extra strap. It's the best rep strap I've ever got. Amazingly crisp dial. The lume is decent, too. Finally, a photo you can see the crystal in. Nice AR. Probably accurate caseback. I don't really know. This Steelfish is powered by an ETA 2824, I believe. It's allegedly water-resistant to 1000M so I don't want to open it up and look inside. It's got 5mm thick sapphire. No polarising filter was used at any point in this photoshoot. That's all, folks! Once again, apologies for not really having any text. edit: more pics on page 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I wish you'd have bought the blue one! I wanted blue but your photos are making me want the white one now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank1 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I wish you'd have bought the blue one! I wanted blue but your photos are making me want the white one now As always beautiful pictures. I just got the Chrono EVO from PT. To bad it was for a friend what a piece. These two Breits are some of the best reps I've seen. Sean K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 It is really a good looker! Thanks for the pictures The numbers on the bezel looks better, sharper than on my Evo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 The numbers on the bezel looks better, sharper than on mine Evo. The soft-edged numbers were what turned me off every other 'lumpy' Breitling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamriff Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi, thanks for share Great watch and photo, the only thing if i can ask is that the steel bracelet should not be shiny/glazed, from the photos it seems everything glazed. Sure its my next purchase!!!!! regards roby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 So tempting,,,,,,I almost picked this up a few days ago but held back. How does the screw down crown feel? If I do end up doing the deed, I'll probably go for white. Those pics are great and I have so many blue and black dial watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 So tempting,,,,,,I almost picked this up a few days ago but held back. How does the screw down crown feel? Tight. It's a little tricky and is the only part of the watch that even remotely says "replica". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I like that dial. It's a nice change from the usual black, and the leather strap works really well with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Excellent pictures as always! Leather strap certainly brings some class to this watch, and the bracelet complements it beautifully in a sporty way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimuZ Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Great photos! I get the impression that the lumedots can be a bit off on some of the Steelfish. Do anyone know which dealer I should use to buy the Steelfish, to get good quality? Thx. Edit: Sorry, I'm from Norway.

Pugwash Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Do anyone know which dealer I should use to buy the Steelfish, to get good quality? Seeing as you've not completed your profile, I can't be sure of your location, but using your local time, I'd guess Europe. In Europe, there's only really one choice and it's the choice I made: Precious Time. He's got them in stock and as you can see, they're not crap.

Usil Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 As I viewed the pictures, one after the other, I thought - why did he take the crystal out? That AR coating is fantastic. Ok, that's it. I am making an order. Usil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 As aslways excellent pictures! Hey there. Good to see you here. You should come here more often as I can't get to RWI for some reason. As I viewed the pictures, one after the other, I thought - why did he take the crystal out? That AR coating is fantastic. Ok, that's it. I am making an order. The AR really is something else. No polarising filter needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I hope you don't mind me adding a couple of shots of my black face Steelfish from PT. They are not the best pictures, especially when compared to yours Pug, but I think it is relevant to this thread I just received it this morning, what a great watch the Steelfish is, not to mention waterproof!

Pugwash Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I just received it this morning, what a great watch the Steelfish is, not to mention waterproof! I'll admit, the functionality of this watch was a big draw. Waterproof, AR, sapphire, ETA ... and less than 200 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
