Hi to all my fellow B-Ling owners.

Less than two months ago I bought my first B-Ling, Navi World with the silver face and to be honest, I'm hooked. Every single time I wear the watch, I get a lot of positive compliments and I feel I'm getting to much unwanted attention to be wearing the watch every day.

I have decided to purchase my second B-ling, and after several trips to the AD here in Kuwait I have chosen the SuperOcean Steelfish, with the steel bracelet and black face.

I would like to hear from those who own or has experience with the SuperOcean model on their thoughts of this watch. All comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Otis

Hello fwpilot, and welcome to the forum!

I can understand to a certain degree what you mean with the attention for a Navi World - but in my case very little of it is misdirected. I have a coral dial SO too, not the Steelfish though, and I like that one a lot too. For its size it is beautiful and very functional with a great wrist appearance. Coral is probably not the right color though if you want to draw less attention... My only regret with the SO is that I prefer having it on a black calf strap (I like the contrast), but leather makes it less likely to go diving.

I think you'll love the Steelfish. I just purchased my first ling and it was a Steelfish w/ blue dial. It awesome. My old Gucci had a black dial and I needed a change. Plus I just really like the dark blue :wink:
This is a sickness. I already want to start saving for a new one and my Steelfish is less than a week old.

I also got a Steelfish, with black dial and stainless bracelet a couple of weeks ago. Personally, I just love the details on the watch: the combination of polished and brushed stainless on the bezel and watch face, and the brused bracelet. Just because it is brushed does not mean that there is no sheen to it. It's a very well done, classy look. Also, the machined dial with the silver numerals gives the watch a different glow in various lighting conditions. It is simply a work of art. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Carl

Hello and thanks to all that post a replay with positive comments about the SO.

This is not a sickness; it’s more like an addiction. After reading your comments this morning, I went to the AD and picked the SO Steel fish, black dial with a steel bracelet. The AD gave me a bunch of goodies such as: caps, t-shirts, ink pens, duffle bags and chrome B-Ling Blue Angel Table display. How can I not buy another one soon???

As soon as I figure out how to post pics, I will post a few of my two beautiful pieces, and the goodies.

Thanks again and I wish all of you a happy B-Ling day.

Otis
