SuperOcean or Steel Fish X-Plus

[geoalb]

I don't own a single Breitling (yet). But I'm thinking of either the SuperOcean or the SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus ?
Which one should I get ?

[mamas]

have you got nay pics to see what they look like? i know haj owns the x-plus but cant picture regular superocean

the SuperOcean is the same size as the SMP. Maybe a hair thicker.
The SteelFish XPlus is 44 mm and due to the extra water resistance it has a smaller dial than the SuperOcean, and it's way thicker as well. It also has the white gold applied hour markers that the SO does not have.
They are both powered by the same caliber, derived from the ETA2824.

SuperOcean:



My favorite is the Seawolf. By far.

The SuperOcean is a beautiful diver. I looked at it very seriously when I purchased my Omega SMP. The Steelfish is bigger flashier and demands attention. I love mine. Given your current collection I think the Steelfish would fit right in.



See mine get along just fine. ;D

Chip, and worktolivelife:
Thanks. I'm well aware of the Seawolf. It's, In my opinion the most serious tool of the dive watches made being made right now.
But, I was asking about the SuperOcean and the SuperOcean Steelfish X-Plus.

Thanks. You know that this is the photo that got me thinking about the Steelfish X-plus, and how good it would compliment my current Omega SMP family.
I mean who could look at the two of those together (in this photo) and not want to purchase one or both of them.

I also like the seawolf best.. but given georges choices.. i would say steelfish x-plus like chips old watch and haj's current watch.. both beautiful tool watches.. would complement your collection well george!

So, now the next question is:Who can provide me with the information I need to deal with a very good / reliable AD for the Breitling. Either a web link or phone #. You can even PM me with this info (if you don't want to post it)

[CHIP]

I am not very resourceful... all I got is 20% off and no sales tax from my AD

[worktolivelife]

I thought less 20% was as good about as it got

I vote for the Superocean. The dial on the Steelfish is nice, but I would hesitate on the X-Plus unless you are sure it will fit you. I did try on the Avenger Seawolf once, which I realize you are not considering, and although it was thick, it was a "doable" size for me. The Superocean with 1500 meters water resistance is more than adequate for any diving you might do, even or especially if you are a professional in this field.

Fit me ?!! Damn, I wear the "Big Daddy" Planet Ocean 45.5mm / 7 1/2 oz, so I'm not worried that the x-plus would be too big for me.

Doesn't Breitling also make a "regular" size steelfish? If it does, personally, I could go for that, but not the x-plus. I think the Superocean looks more "Breitling", just my opinion.
