That looks sweet! Is it me or does the lume look much brighter on the new model? That's the only gripe about mine is the lume isn't the greatest.
Very nice pick up though, thanks for sharing it!

Very nice watch sir ! Congratulations !

Though I probably would prefer it on rubber or leather to keep the bling-factor of this huge watch within limits :wink:

Lume looks very bright indeed !

This striking cobra yellow looks a lot more vivid than the previous pale yellow. Good for showing off ;-). I'd'love to see one for real, on black rubber or leather. Thanks for sharing!

Nice to see one of the new ones on a wrist. Congrats and enjoy! Agree that the new yellow is interesting. Still, nothing wrong with the old. I don't see the lume problems on my SW that was mentioned :? Can you get us a good lume shot of this when you have time? While I like it on bracelet this is one watch that is screaming for rubber and push button clasp. How was the AD on price for such a new item, any wiggle room?

Again, congrats and great pick up.

Hi,

Hoping to get some pics up shortly, lume is very good not as good as my blackbird but very legible
and definately better than the previous seawolf.

Got slightly over 20% off the UK RRP of £3200.

Just bought an 'old' Seawolf Yellow ... The lume on mine seems pretty strong ... Much brighter than either of my Aerospaces and it seems to last easily throughout the night. Can't say though under normal use that the lume is bright in daylight.

I do very much like the new version dial colour which is more orange than the yellow on mine, and I prefer the new tip on the second sweep, but I'm less keen on the new bracelet in comparison. Something about the Pro II is just 'right'.

I do think though that if any of my AD's could have got one in, I'd have gone for the GMT over the SW, but I'm now over the moon with mine.

Happy timepiece wearing ...
