Steelfish Hands

Recommended Posts

So, the Steelfish replica's come with the second hand with the box (forget formal name). However, the gen comes with an arrow hand. Now, I know that there was a run with the box hands, but supposedly the numbers are heavily favoring the arrow.

 

 

Why, then, do the reps continue to have the box hand?

Is there a Steelfish V3? I've only seen it on perfect clones so far, and it's cheap, and so tempting...

Is there somewhere that sells the arrow hands?

I just ordered a Steelfish with the box second hand. Based on my research the arrow second hand was introduced some time in 2007.

The Steelfish originally came with the squared seconds hand, only the later versions and any that have had an official Breitling service will have the newer seconds hand, both are accurate and it's not a flaw

Ah, thank you. I knew it wasn't a flaw because I've seen the gens with them, but to me it seems like an arrow hand pulls off the "gen-look" more accurately. So is there somewhere I could get them? Or eBay, question is would it fit?

I bought this one with arrow-tipped second hand years ago from the late Robert, it is prob. one of the best watches I ever had even if it has a 21J movement, this one is supergood

As other forum posters wrote, Breitling updated the second hands from square-tipped to pointer-tipped in the Superocean and Superocean Steelfish in early 2007 i believe . My gen has pointer tipped
