Greetings all!

Contemplating pulling the trigger on my 4th ling: Ss avenger seawolf on a DP1 with a yellow dial, gorgeous watch in my opinion. The only problem is that I can't find a yellow dial to try on anywhere, I've tried a seawolf just not that colour.
My question really is how easy is it to live with a yellow dial, does it look as good in person as it does in the pictures, when dyou find yourselves wearing it. It certainly won't be a daily wearer, have my SOH for that, and the chrono matic for more formal occasions.
Thanks in advance folks, pics of course are always appreciated :-)

It's a faded yellow, almost like a yellow gray and the Arabics are gray also, so rather subdued IMO. It's wearable anywhere except for dark suit formality for me.

Well, as you mentioned already, yellow isn't going to be your "daily driver" but I think it's perfectly accetable for when you're feeling adventurous or maybe a bit funky. The Seawolf on a DP1 screams ruggedness in my mind. The yellow just adds to the "tool" aspect of this watch.

Good luck with your decision!

I had a yellow dial ASW Ti on DP1 last year (looking for another right now...), and I wore it daily, with exception for very formal meetings, of which, I rarely have any. I LOVE the yellow dial, and wouldn't hesitate on another.

Everyday driver here. Wear the SWC on the weekends but I'm loving the contrast of the yellow of my SW Ti against the metal and black rubber band for my work day keeper.

That would be awesome!! I always lust after the yellow dial Emergency, but the case/crowns just don't work for me...

I used to have a yellow M1 on Pro-II bracelet. Loved it for its looks, but it wasn't easy teaming it up with shirt & tie for the office.
hence it spent more time in the safe than on my wrist :cry:

As it won't be a daily wear, I can recommend the yellow dial. I think of it as Breitling's signature colour.
It does attract attention though, so best worn where you don't mind it being noticed.
The yellow dial of the Seawolf is more legible than the SuperOcean Pro because of the black arabics and hands.

Re: Aerospace
IIRC I think a yellow dial was available only to an 18k white gold model, some years ago?

I didn't imagine the yellow dialed Aerospace!
The Chronolog 1 & 2 show an 18k white gold model with a pro1 and a yellow dial.
