Breitling Super Ocean Steel Fish (hereinafter referred to considered as SOSF) is a seriously hot model from the brand. Inside the reps marker, you will discover plenty of versions with various excellent and costs. Here currently we get four SOSF, 1 from a trusted replica breguet timepieces replicas dealer, and other two directly from a replica manufacturer. As expected, they are not the same. Here, we call the Manufacturer versions V1 and the dealer versions V2 , and do a side-by-side comparison.

Before starting, I would like to make clear several important basic facts considered as follows.

V1 Asian has mineral crystal, no AR, Asian movement, no serial engraved on the caseback. Price: 160 USD including shipping. V1 Swiss has AR covered sapphire crystal, an individual serial engraved on the caseback, and an ETA 2824 (nickel plated) movement. Price: $400, including shipping.

V2 Asian has mineral crystal with AR, Asian movement, a serial No. engraved on the caseback.Price : $108 including shipping. V2 Swiss has AR covered sapphire, ETA 2824 movement (clone or not, I don't know). Colour is unknown, considered as it's not pictured on their store.

Ok, here the comparison begins.

Firstly Sight

At a firstsight, the major differences are the crown shape and the dial colour. V2 is cream, while V1 is off-white.

Dials

V2 Asian has typical "Asian" font, with open 6 and 9. V2 "Swiss" has surely an other font, and yet if you go V1 Asian, the font you get is way better, considered as it looks almost the same considered as V1 "Swiss". V1 has a deeper pattern (circles) and shorter hands

Curiously, both have the same "flaw" in their unaligned bezel. Hardly noticeable however.15/30/45 markers on bezels are various too. Taller on V1. Not completely centered on V2.V2 crown is wrong, there's no other possible desciption, and that is the hugest tell.V2 seconds hand misses the red colour on the square part.A less obvious difference is the Superocean marking : it's bolder on V2.

Sides and cases

Sttill commenting on the crowns : B logo is thinner on V2. Yet what really disturbs me is the crownguard shape. The exact cases appearance pretty similar, and yet they aren't. V2 has a flatter caseback, which make the swiss replica watches 1,5 to 2 mm thinner.The exact He valve on V2 is recessed. V1 has a stamped (embossed) B logo on the bezel, whereas V2 has a laser etched 1. Unnoticeable without macro shots. - engraving between the lugs is present on V2, unlike what I previously thought. No real difference here.I feel the work on V1 caseback is better, although the level of V2 is good.

Lume

V1 is known to have a superior lume (way better than what you usually meet on reps)

V1 and V2 have also various lumes : V2's 1 is good considered as well, and yet the colour between the dots/pearl and and hands is various. I firstly thought that this lume was undesirable, in fact it just needs more time to charge, and yet after that it is more than satisfying.

Movements

V1 has a clone of the Miyota 8215 (DG2813) : I don't know which is better, and yet at least V1 has shown to run accurately during 2 yearsV2 has a movement which I saw in many reps : I don't know exactly what it's worth.

Bracelets / straps

Although not pictured, V1 contains the excellent rep strap I ever saw, and a tang buckleV2 contains a croco pattern, and a deployment clasp.I firstly did not want to compare the bracelets, both looked the same to me. Yet The logo and fonts shape are various. Also V2 contains French text against English for V1. No idea which is correct

Conclusion

Although V2 shows a nice construction and is better than average 108 USD reps, it's far from the excellent of V1.If you appearance for the excellent value for money, select the Asian V1.If you go Swiss, I really do not advise the purchase of V2. You would pay almost 300 USD for a very flawed rep.
