Hello, i have been looking at these watches for years and finally decided to do it. Hey, i only live once, was my last though before i said to the dealer -i buy it!

About 4 years ago i got the first sting of Breitling desire. However i didnt really have the money for it. And i didnt have the guts to buy one. the thing is, im a bit worried about beeing to much of a status guy. At work i actually try to hide my timepiece. As engineer its not very common that people even wear a costume. And in sweden you are sort of borned with the famous "Jantelag mentality i.e. do not think you are more special than anyone else" But still i love these watches, they are so incredibly beautiful. I just couldnt resist.

Proud owner of a superocean steelfish with black dial :P

Welcome aboard!

There seems to be a wave of black-dialed Steelfish being sold all over the world. I might have to get one too!

Congrats on a great watch. Post some pictures when you get a chance, and wear it in good health.

Another Swede! Very welcome!

I know exactly what you mean with wearing Lings to work... Just give it some time though, then your colleagues will start to gain interest. My colleages have. :) Where in the country do you live?

Funny i have actually lived in Helsingborg twice. Was kind of half borned down there and returned for a couple of years before i finally went back to Gothenburg again. I love Helsingborg with its beauty and beaches near central town however. To bad i didnt know a single person down there, which was the reason i went back.

Back to topiq. I think im developing a taste for beautiful and expensive stuff at recent years. The combination of a bimmer and a breitling is nothing but outstanding!!

From one Steelfish owner to another, welcome Pascal! Even if you are hesitant about showing your co-workers or the world your classy watch you still get that great inner satisfaction each time you look at it.
