I have been wanting and searching for both these watches for quite sometime. I also had to sell some watches in order to fund any new purchases. Everything came together in one week.....................it seemed that it took so long to get to the point of finding one, let alone two!

I chose to go with the 42mm Breitling Superocean Steelfish,

and the 45.5mm Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean.

I am very pleased with my choices. Thanks to all of you who I have contacted and discussed various watches with. Folks like cali kid, andrema, smellody, barnbuilder. And to many others who I have seen their pics and descriptions of watches. I felt I was able to make an informed decision that was right for me.

WOW!!! or should I say WOW WOW!!!

Two super watches or at least one anyway. Super, SuperOcean. Get it? Oh well, never mind.

I need the Planet Ocean to complete that pair but in 42MM.

Wear them a long time. Beautiful.

Boy oh boy John !!! Shocked Very Happy ..This is something else here !!!! "2" New Arrivals 46145 In one shot you
have two of THE COOLEST of watches. It's just INCREDIBLE to see these side by
side like this. CONGRATULATIONS ! Also looks like all of the looking around, and
learning about these watches worked out amazingly well. Doesn't really get much
better than this sir ! ..I like how you have these two watches almost staring at
eacother in that first photo. It's pretty neat actually, kind of like an epic battle
between two long time rivals, and you aren't sure what is going to happen. I'm
thinking that they will both get along with eachother though in this case ! cheers
Looking at the two watches, it's nice how they both are really pretty similar with
the black dials, and pure class. However, when you really stop and think about it.
They have alot of differences too. The Steelfish has that GREAT dial with the neat
numbers all the way around, along with perfectly matched hands. I especially like
the red block at the end of the second hand. The Planet Ocean has the orange
accent at the end of a more arrow shaped second hand. Along with some excellent
harpoon-type hands, and the look of the numbers is VERY unique as well. Also like
the large smooth looking markers there. Moving to the bezels, both have legendary
styles. The Breitling with it's raised sections, and etched markings with numbers. The
Omega with it's flat smooth style, with contrasting colors, numbers, and SHARP coin
edge. BOTH of them different yet AWESOME ! The side views are SPECTACULAR here
also John ! You can really appreciate the angle of Breitling's case, along with bezel
there. Even how the raised sections of the bezel seem to have dual levels. Helping to
show of the crystal, while also pointing you toward the deep etched numbers on the
bezel. They even have the "B" on the crown ! Woohoo !!! Very Happy ..The side view of the
Planet Ocean shows off the thickness of the case, as well as the TERRIFIC brushing,
not to metion coin-edge and two crowns. I like how Omega put He on the one, and
put their logo on the other ! VERY NICE ! ..One or two last things that are REAL NICE,
are the case-backs. The Steelfish with it's BOLD bulging back, polished AND what looks
like beadblasted finish with emblem, and the Planet Ocean an eye-catching horse on
a unique textured finish, which just looks STUNNING ! ..When it comes right down to it,
these watches are both AMAZINGLY CLASSY. One is bold and aggressive, while the other
is smooth, but with attitude imho. Four thumbs up John ! "2" New Arrivals 803574 "2" New Arrivals 803574 "2" New Arrivals 803574 "2" New Arrivals 803574 ..Yowza !!!!
..Congrats to you on finding these two sir !

..ENJOY x 2 ! Very Happy

Phenomenal pictures of these TWO here TOO !

WOW John!
I can't imagine what it's like to get both of those in one day.
I say again - WOW!

You must be beside yourself and wearing them both at the same time. I know I would.

Congratulations - and Welcome to the PO Club.
