Does anyone here own both a Superocean Abyss 42 and Seawolf? How does the size compare? Any pictures to illustrate the size difference? |

Sorry I can't speak directly to the SOII in 42mm but I do happen to have an old picture of the thickness difference between a SteelFish and a SeaWolf...it is pretty substantial. Wolf is left Fish is middle. Perhaps you can make some mental calculations btween the SteelFish(44/16.1) and SO II (42/15). Hope this helps. FWIW, I really like my SW if you are trying to decide between the two, but it is thick.

I have an SO42 and a Skyland (which is slightly thinner than the Seawolf), and I can tell you that the difference is very significant in every single dimension. |

I had 2 wolfs in the past but never at the same time as the PO. Did not remember the wolf to be that massive. I guess short memory. |

lol, funnily enough I was looking at it in the bokeh there and was convinced it was a 810. Then looked at the other modern pieces and concluded it must be a TOC and that they looked for more like the TT 810 than I originally thought. Beautiful watch either way
