Wow Sharkman!
Great pics of that wonderful watch! I saw on the Breitling website, that it is now available with baton markers. Their pics do not do it justice, but yours make it look like probably it really does. Never seen one in person.
I had the one with the arabics, and have since traded it for a much smaller watch. However, when I see the pics every now and then, I kind of miss it. It was incredibly comfortable for such a large watch.
The baton markers give it an entirely different look, which is great as it seems to have a different character. If I ever got one again, I would really have to think about whether to get the arabics or the baton markers.
I saw the new Superocean the other day. It looked cheap and plastic to me. I really wish they had gone for more the Seawolf look, especially the frame around the date on the Superocean really needs to be beefed up and squared off. It would look so much better as a smaller version of the Seawolf, so to speak.
Cheers,
Carl

What is/are the production year(s) for the Seawolf with the baton rather than arabic hour markers?

I don't know for certain but I'm sure it's only been the last year.

I saw one(yellow/batons) in the AD last week. And I just changed the bracelet out for the DPII/deployment and what a great look. I'll try to get some pics when its light out. I was going to get the yellow dial but fell for the black. I think the Deep Sea was heavy on my mind since I was returning it. I really like this new dial - simple, uncluttered, but not boring at all. And I get a kick out of "3000M/10000FT" on the dial. I never really paid much attention to the Seawolf until quite recently when the new dial started showing up in the display case, but have fallen hard for it. Someone said on another thread I had gotten the Breitling version of the Rolex Deep Sea and that was a great way to descibe this watch.

I've only seen yellow and black. I thought Breitling was silly taking away arabics on such a large non-chrono dial. I was mistaken.

I didn't think they made the seawolf in yellow with the batons? At least on the Breitling website it isn't offered as an option. On the website the only yellow face option has the numbers.
