Spy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi all, I am thinking of buying a watch with a white face to complement my cllection of darker faced watches. I want one that is as close to gen as possible and think it could be a fight between the Rolex Yachtmaster or the Breitling SuperOcean SteelFish. I would be interested to hear people's thoughts on: 1) Which white-faced watch is best to go with ? 2) Who supplies the "closest to gen" version ? I have also added a poll for a quick measurement but please post your thoughts in the thread. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Tough call as I see them as completely different styles. Steelfish on rubber looks best to me which makes it more of a dive/sport casual watch. Noob Yacht-Master is definately a Bling dress watch - to me anyway. Bottom line is that both are fantastic replications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Buy both and a PAM 113 and a White Explorer II and a Vintage Daytona! That should complete your collections of white face watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Buy both and a PAM 113 and a White Explorer II and a Vintage Daytona! That should complete your collections of white face watches! dito - same choice here. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 SFSO over the Yachtmaster, for sure. I'd also give serious consideration to the VC Overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 If you want to spend $100, get the Yachty, if you wanna spend $300 get the SFSO ETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Personally, I actually prefer the YM. I was a bit disappointed by the SFSO. Great watch, but the pearl is not as good as on the BCE/ Blackbird, bezel rotation is cheap feeling. While on my YM bezel rotation was very very good. The depth of he pattern on the SFSO dial is shallower than the gen.. The YM bracelet also feels way better than the SFSO. Still, both are good watches just two different styles!

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Given the current conditions in US politics, I thought this thread had an entirely different meaning! I was extremely scared for a moment and thought that maybe a certain candidate had suggested a new policy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spider87 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) lmao Upon reading the title to this thread I was reminded of a thread on another forum that I was directed to by a fellow obama ... non-lover??? disliker?? something... White slaves? But ON TOPIC, I would definitely choose the YM. Beautiful, beefy looking watch... Edited February 28, 2009 by spider87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Of the two, I think the Yacht-Master would be a more versatile watch: Capable of casual, but definitely with the classy look. The SFSO, on the other hand, I could imagine strugglng to pull off a really 'smart' outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
