Nice group and nice shots. I thought I could pull off an SA, but now I'm not sure... that thing looks huge especially beside they already large skyland. :shock: I better try one on before buying.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

I think In2Deep was referring to the stamp on your hand :)

Very nice collection.

Is your Skyland a LE Blacksteel? (I'm not sure due to maybe my monitor) I like how you put a leather strap on it and took of the Diver strap. Where did you get the replacement strap?

Just wondering as I'm chompin at the bit to pull the trigger on a SA LE Blacksteel and I like that leather strap look.

Great collection! Great shots! Interesting look with the croco strap on the Blacksteel, too.
I wore my Blacksteel today, for the first time in a couple of months. I have seen many different straps and bracelets in this forum, but I have to say that I still prefer the Diver Pro. Anyway, I love your Seawolf. I wore the Blacksteel today, because I went to my AD to try on the new Seawolf. I have seen it in the showcase, and the window, and in pics, but when I tried it on I was sold! My AD has one with a black dial, and Diver Pro. It was very comfortable. It looks quite outstanding, especially with the large logo at 12 o'clock. The crown and the side of the case are polished, as is the case back. I have to say, I was hoping the whole thing would be brushed, like your Titanium. Actually, even the crown is polished. That is something that could always be changed later, though. The whole watch is quite outstanding, although not as simple as the Titanium model, it's simplicity does still stand out amongst most of the other models. The girl who I was dealing with, said she had sold one to a guy who had one of the original Colt models years ago, that was issued for the Armed Forces. He said that the new Seawolf reminded him much of that model. I guess with the numerals and the black dial, with a simple matt finish. I was thinking of a grey dial, but when I saw the black today, that is what I will stick with. Having the rather subdued matt finish, it is more like an anthracite or darker grey, and I really liked how it suited the whole watch. Hopefully, in a few weeks' time, I will be able to afford it.
There was a hint today that possibly the prices will increase, I suppose here because of our weakened Canadian Dollar. That is a good incentive to get mine ASAP, or should I say a damned good excuse!
I got my SuperOcean in 1997. A few years after that, I started looking at the Seawolf, but could never afford it. I missed the boat on the Titanium model - although I am not upset, I believe these things happen for a reason - now I think the time has come for a Seawolf. It just feels right that it is what I should get now.
I am also curious what No. your Blacksteel is. Mine is 1166. Have to say, I don't feel right about the SA Blacksteel being so similar. I did see one at my AD a few weeks ago. I do like the looks of the AS Blacksteel better, just because it looks a bit more "stocky" for want of a better term. I am also quite pleased that the model run was only 2000 as opposed to 3000.
Your SA is definitely my favourite in that line by far.
Sorry to ramlble on so much, but it's great to be able to share my feelings.
Cheers,
Carl

Having the AS and the SA, I must agree with you: the AS is indeed more "chunky"
I love both watches but I do find that the SA is more "balanced"; like a BMW (50-50 weight distribution).
( I have a ~7.75 inch wrist)...
I wouldn't mind trading in my AS Blacksteel for a SA Blacksteel !
Anyone out there interested? :)

The new Seawolf is AMAZING (its heavier than a SA as well) :shock:
