The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Looking for opinions and input in regards to these two timepieces. I'm undecided which I'd rather have, I'm looking for a watch that I could wear everyday. I like the size and bulk of the Seawolf but I also like the simple and clean look of the SO. If anyone has these or has had in the past please provide me your thoughts and recommendations. I guess what I'm asking is which would you rather have and why. I'd go with the black dial on either one. Thanks in advance for your help!

Not a big fan of the new SO so I'd go Seawolf. Though it looks like you already have one!

Dear Texan93,

It has to be a seawolf for me with a twist !!!!!!!!!!

Best regards

Walter

I would go with the Seawolf for sure. The SO just seems off to me.

Seawolf for me too. I prefer the steel bezel over rubber.

Prefer my old-school SO - much more of a classic Breitling look before they went all weird. But given the choice, for me it'd be the Seawolf every time (but in yellow! )

IMO SO is a refreshing and good looking piece but I am personally a fan of steel bezel over rubber. My wife and I both had encounters with the SO on different occasions where we were attracted by the very modern look of the SO when we first saw it and even tried it on(my wife tried SO42 and for me I tried both). However after looking at it a few times everytime we passed by an AD, we started realizing that we had gotten over the "hype" and in fact started getting a bit tired by the look. Especially for my wife who saw me trying on the Navi 01 and hated the busy look at first, started liking it more and more overtime until she personally tried it herself and gosh..... It looked so "stylo" on her!

Well most of us prefer timeless looking pieces since we have to pay so much for them. But "timeless looking" is something very subjective and I feel the best way is to try them on a few times and see if you still like them as much after sometime. I believe the Seawolf works for you because it seems that you already have one and thinking of getting one more? If I could only have one piece I would personally choose the Seawolf over SO. But from yr collection seems like you are more into diving styled pieces. Maybe can consider a little more towards "aviation styled" to have more variety in yr collection. Navi 01 is something different from what you already have so do consider it, if you don't mind the low WR.

Although the votings are all towards the Seawolf... I have a Superocean Chrono II and I'd go for the SO44. I like the rubber inserted bezel which play nicely together with the rubber bracelet. I'm not a huge fan of the rider tabs on the Seawolf's bezel.
But finally it's up to you - you can't go wrong with eighter choice.

Wolf all day

This.. Call me old school but i just love the older style bezel...
