Post subject:  Pictoral overview of my NOS Ti SeaWolf

This watch amazes me more than any other in my collection. It is at the same time perfectly designed for functionality, legibility, strength and that incredible 3000m/10000ft water resistance and yet looks stunning. It cannot ever be considered a dress watch. There is nothing superfluous to this design and the components that make up the wonderful whole.

With it's grey Titanium case and monochromatic dial/hands it is subtle, but with its 44mm and 20mm thick dimensions it is noticable. All too often oversized divers/sports watches can be a little overbearing and fatiguing on the wrist. Especially diminutive wrists such as mine. However, the use of Titanium for the case and the rubber strap means that this incredibly strong watch is actually comfortable to wear.

As mentioned before this Titanium SeaWolf was meant to be a stop gap until I could afford the current Stainless Steel version. I had already been told by my AD that he would give me all of the money back on the Ti SeaWolf when I upgraded to the SS model. Its not going to happen. This is a keeper. I will still add a SS SeaWolf to my collection but I will have to be a little more patient and save the full amount. Sam at Andrew Michaels made me this offer. He's a crafty bugger. I'm sure he probably knew this would happen.

Great pics for an exceptional watch. :bow: It was always one of my favorites. Even more so now, given the current range of Breitling models.

Thanks for sharing ricardo.

How can anyone not like that one? Very good pickup. I miss mine all the time.

Thank You for Your kind words.

I totally agree that the Ti SeaWolf is a future classic.

Your comments have cemented my fear that I would suffer serious sellers remorse if I were to ever sell my Ti SeaWolf. It will be a keeper.

Well, all I can add to that, is that it is a super watch, much lighter than the SS, and all I have left is a few pictures.
However, I am loving my new BB, so all in all, it was worth parting with.

I agree completely. That BB of yours is gorgeous and a significant step up from the Ti SeaWolf. It's just a shame that we cannot always buy the things we truly desire without sacrificing something else.

Do you think you'll add another Ti SeaWolf to your collection in the future? Or is it a case of "Been there, done that. Let's try something new"?

Thank you :) Honestly I was more of a gradual, build up, I still have the Steelfish which is what replaced the Seawolf.
If a really good deal pops up, I would probably bite. I like the lume on the Steelfish better, that was the main reason for the upgrade.

Congratulations on your present to yourself Ricardo! I had that exact combination on my wrist at my local AD a few weeks ago. It actually feels much smaller due to the weight. I was offered a great deal but figured the honeymoon period would end and I would realize it was too much for my small-ish wrists! I really miss that classic Breitling styling now...

Again, congratulations on your new acquisition. It wears well on you. I'm betting you'll have both a Ti and steel Seawolf!

That is a "Tool" watch if not "the" tool watch. Great catch and I believe it is already a classic. The Ti is perfect piece to use as as a sport and casual watch. Enjoy.
Best health, Frank
