Well, I will be leaving for the Caribbean in a few weeks and debating whether or not I should wear my Skyland. I'll be doing plenty of diving/snorkeling and I realise that it is built to handle it, however I am being somewhat of a "wuss". As funny as it may sound, I am worried about the dial being exposed to sunlight more than anything else. I have never come across a thread where someone living in a sunny local ever complaining of dial fade and have read that Breitling subjects their dials to extensive UV exposure testing as well, yet I am still worried. Could someone please put my mind at ease....thanks |

Although I am not a diver, I had a SuperOcean for 10 years and it got constant wear - literally every day for 10 years - exposed to all the hazards of operating machinery and printers in a print shop, including servicing by putting hands inside the machine. Yup, it got some scratches, but that's what personalizes a watch and gives it character. I not have a Blacksteel, which gets subject to the same treatment. It has stood the hazards of production work equally well. At this point I would say: take the Skyland with you, and enjoy it like it was meant to be enjoyed! Originally, the Colt was I believe designed for use in the armed forces, and I can't see that any of these Aeromarine models are any less tough. Cheers, Carl |

And remember to take plenty of "action diving pics" of the Seawolf, for us to enjoy your trip later! 
Have a nice trip! |
