Never thought I would ever buy a Breitling however when I saw this Avenger Seawolf somehow I couldn't resist.

I bought the watch second hand, but it is as new. The yellow dial tuned out to be a bit too adventurous for the previous owner who decided to sell it just one month after he newly purchased it.

I got the watch on a Diver PRO II strap and put it on a PRO III strap which in my opinion is a nice mix between the PRO and the PRO II strap.

Great watch and great strap ! Congrats! Yellow (and Coral...) Breitling dials rule big time !

I have the exact same config, but previous model.

Looks really nice (although a yellow or coral dial is certainly nothing for me, I like to see it on other peoples wrists.)! Btw, I also switch from Diver Pro II to Diver Pro III from time to time (but with deployant clasp).

Do you have a pic from the DP3 with deployment clasp? Curious how it looks !

Didn't even know these were compatible, thought DP3 was with buckle only.

I posted some pics in this thread. But the clasp is not specifically focused on these pictures. Let me know if I shall make some clasp-focused pics ;)

Great pick up. It really is a fun watch. I look forward to wearing mine. Feels like you could pond nails with it. The WR is a bit overkill, but nice to know that kind of engineering exists. Total tool watch. I like the DP3 but still think it looks best on OR. I have thought about the bracelet for it from time to time, but wonder how heaver it would wear.

One thing I have not figured out is how to keep the lint off the top of the strap and bottom of the case. Don't have that problem with my other Breitlings on OR strap. :?

Mine says hello!

Ah, so I'm not the only one with the lint problem :) But it doesn't bother me too much in the dull routine of everyday life. Only on the pictures I take it seems to be sooo visible.

Compressed air, licked/spit laden shirt tail, finger nail....nothing seems to get it and you are right I always seem to see it AFTER I take a picture :guns:

Thanks for the info and link, looks really nice ! Didn't know the DP3 was available in two versions, one for the buckle and one for the clasp. Also considering the brushed clasp for my seawolf now, but that little thing is pretty expensive !!
