I have recently seen a Super Ocean steel Fish (New style) in an AD.
I really liked it and the off white/yellowed dial is gorgeous
What really set it apart from most other Brietling's I've seen is the fully brushed/satin finish rather than the highly polished finish found on most Super O's.
The only thing that prohibits it as a watch for me (and my 1st Brietling) is the sheer bloody size of the thing
It's gotta be a least 45mm which for me and my slim wrists is a big No No
I tried it on and practically "willed" it to look right
However as much as I wanted it to, it just didn't, even the shop assistant agreed that it was too big and thick for me.
I currently wear a Rolex Sea Dweller, which I am trying to sell in order to "revise" my watch priorities to a JLC RDM dress watch and another diver of lesser value as an everyday wearer.
The Super O Steel Fish fit's the bill perfectly apart from the (IMHO) over the top dimensions.
Is this model available in a smaller (42mm max) size.
In other words, identical in detail, style and finish except for the size? (Same dial, brushed finish etc)
I confess to being uneducated on Brietlings so your advice would be appreciated.
If I can find a pic of the model I tried on I'll post it.
Thanks.
