The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi, im new to this site and was hopeing for some advice. I just sold my Rolex gmt master 2 ceramic bezel to fund a new Breitling. The Rolex was great but just didnt do it for me the way Breitling does .. So I own a Super avenger now black face/silver sub dials and cant decide if I should get a seawolf or chrono sea wolf. Both would be on steel braclet and both white face (chrono with black sub dials). I love the look of both, it just throws me how the chrono is a quartz movment. I actually think I like the non chrono better but I can get either 1 for about the same price both brand new. Please help me decide which do you think is a better watch and also which is aesthetically nicer???

I do love the look of the Seawolf Chrono bit I'd go with the non-chrono Seawolf due to it being an auto. You already have a chrono with the SA, so a non-chrono Seawolf will give you a completely different kind of watch.

Non-chrono for me, it's no contest. Automatic movement and a better-looking dial.

My first Breitling was the Seawolf Chrono, and I love it, and always will. But, I'm going to side with the others. Variety is the spice of life, you already have a chrono.

Seawolf (Automatic)!!!!

As said, the automatic movement wins every time for me, unless you desperately need the chrono function.

Get the Seawolf automatic and not the chrono. The clean dial on the regular Seawold if great and has such a presence on the wriist.

Thanks for all the great advice. I made up my mind that 2morow im going to the breitling store in nyc to pick up the seawolf non chrono. Just bothers me alittle that I have to pay full retail and if i got the chrono id be getting it for 25% off. . .

Congrats on the choice but I'd get in touch with FEAR or JNelson about getting one from either Govberg or Provident. There's no reason you should have to pay full retail for any Breitling.

I was going to buy the seawolf in nyc at the flagship store (they refuse to discount at all). Instead I actually went to my ad today and ordered it. I have to wait 4 -6 weeks for it to come and i had to pay the .08% price increase but i did wind up getting 25% off.... Also didnt wanna walk out empty handed so purchased a heritage 46 on rubber deployment strap as well . . .fell in love with it , needed it , couldnt leave with out it lol

You got an SOH too? That's a bit crazy but congrats. As cool as it would be to buy from their Store I'd rather save 25% also. Congrats again.

I felt the same way about the SOH's before I saw one in person. It's really one of those watches that you have to see to appreciate.
