2nd Gen Evo v Steelfish

[Hyster]

In a straight fight, who would win?

Just wondered if the guys that have both the Swiss Steelfish and the latest version of the Chronomat Evolution can give me an idea of which is the closest to the genuine article?

I know they are both superb reps but if you where really picky and you had to choose one, what would it be and why?

 

[SD4K]

I have both and I wear them a lot.
I think the Steelfish is a little ahead - I think my BCE-subdials are off (graphite dial version) and the SFSO has better AR. The Bezel clicks louder, too...

my white evo smokes a eta steelfish. i got a steelfish and couldn't operate the crown and the date was off centered in the window so i sent it back, i was told they were all very difficult to operate. it couldn't hold a candle to my evo.

Both are equally good, but in very different styles - SFSO for casual/sport, Evo for more bling and dressy. Quality and fit and finish are about equal on both.

I had both of these watches, and in terms of quality there is nothing to choose between them. It really depends on what you will wear it for.

The Swiss SFSO has a movement that is reliable, whereas the A7750 in the Evo could prove problematic if not serviced.

Personally I would choose the SFSO for everyday wear and the reliability factor. If you don't mind paying a bit extra and getting the BCE serviced then for me the BCE wins hands down everytime, it is a beautiful watch in the flesh!

white dial Chronomat is really classy. Mine is graphite dial... bracelet is not top notch but if you are willing to go the extra miles, get genuine leather.

I have a steelfish and a diamond bez. bce,the bce is by fa the winner...the superocean is a nice "blue collar" watch but this bce i have makes a rolex look blue collar imo,this bce will get all the wrist time,i think i will give the superocean to a guy that woks for me,like i did my Pam90... 8)

Yeah, foot the bill for a new keyboard. That will fix your problem.

As far as the Chrono Evo vs. the SFSO. I have the Chrono Evo. It's a beauty. It's hard to beat.

Hey!..my brother in law Stan...thanks buddy..get a new laptop your saying....it is only a year old,oh ya as outdated as a rep watch..

The SFSO does not compare to the EVO....i have both and like both,but the EVO. (with working chronos!) is by far nicer,unless you work at burger king or something (Stans other job..lol)...be pulling out the SO before the Bling BCE!... 8)

I'd have to say the Chrono Evo V2 wins hands down. Its an amazing looking watch.

 

[cypher]

I was thinking of getting the bce grey v2. What do you guys think about taht? There still seems to be a lot of confusion on the color. I really want a grey but people say the graphite v2 is the most accurate. What should I get?

 

[cy0811]

I feel the graphite is very accurate after researching it for days on end and even checking out the genuine in person...it also shows the "center rings" on the dial a bit more then black....its far more accurate then the gray though. Be careful there are 2 or 3 versions of the graphite dial and dealers many times send the old versions.

 

[dave123]

I love mine but did just find out that it is the slate/gray version with black subdials...not the graphite i ordered,little mixup with pic i sent when ordering and such....is accurate to the pic on Breitlings website to me though....i love it anyway....really nice watch...
