Hello all. I'm finally in a position to purchase my first ling and can't decide which one to get the steelfish with silver dial or the aerospace with silver dial, both are the same price so it just comes down to which is the better watch?

I wear a tag aquaracer for daily so this one will be for the weekends. Any advice or opinions greatly received, thanks

Those are hugely different watches.

Do you need the chronograph, do you prefer quartz or mechanical? They are tough watches to compare, I would just strap them both on and see which one 'speaks' to you more.

Same price but completely different watches. I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a Quartz with the stopwatch and second timezone function and whatever else it does then the Aerospace is the one. If you're more interested in an Auto with good water resistance then it's the Steelfish. Personally I'd go with the Steelfish just because it's an Auto and is just a great looking all around watch.

Always nice to plan for your next purchase before the current one. Good luck. :lingsrock:

Buying them both is definitely the best option as (as others have said) they are about as different as Breitling watches get. They are about as similar as apples and chipmonks!

Buy both - you'll feel better knowing that you've covered both the pilot and diver's watch bases. :wink: :thumbsup:

Go with the Steelfish. You won't be disappointed. It's the best-looking, most versitile watch I've owned, especially with the silver dial.
