Hello everyone! I recently picked up a Breitling Seawolf (1403 etched inside the bracelet; its a 2003 model). I am wondering: -1- is the watch supposed to be kinda light? (I know Titanium weighs much less than steel) -2- is it normal for the crystal to "distort" when moving the watch on my wrist: I heard its because the crystal is very thick? -3- if I buy the rubber OR bracelet, is it easy to swap bracelets or do I have to always go to the AD? 
Thanks |

1- is the watch supposed to be kinda light? (I know Titanium weighs much less than steel) Yes, it is light compared to a SS watch. -2- is it normal for the crystal to "distort" when moving the watch on my wrist: I heard its because the crystal is very thick? Yes, correct. -3- if I buy the rubber OR bracelet, is it easy to swap bracelets or do I have to always go to the AD? You can do it yourself, but make sure you have the proper tools, or you might end up scratching the watch. Nice watch by the way! |

And if you want more "heft" look into the Emergency Mission or the Super Avenger

Titaniums density is approximately half of stainless steel, so you can expect a titanium watch to weigh half of a stainless steel watch. Strap/bracelet changing is very easy to do by yourself, just be steady on the hand to avoid scratches and get a proper tool as hnb suggests (the Bergeon 6767-F works like a charm). Finally, congratulations and good luck with the beautiful watch! |

I like the "big" watch this Seawolf offers to me.... To me its considered pretty big; I can only imagine what the Super Avenger would feel like! If the SA is "double" the weight (and bigger diameter as well) it will probably bother me on a daily basis.....Nevertheless... I WANT ONE !!!

Compared to your current watch the SA is more like three to four times the weight. Shes a monster... but pretty cool! |

The first time most people put the SA on, they all think it's way too big. But then, at the second or maybe third try - something happens. |
