Yellow. I know, I know, you don't like the yellow, but you asked.

R/

Personally, I love the yellow dial Ti model. They aren't that hard to find used:


In the steel models, the Seawolf is really similar to the Steelfish, and I really prefer the dial on the latter.

Hi All!

I say Yellow Ti - is the way to go! I bought a pre-owned one from Tourneau a little bit more than a month ago for 50% off MSRP from the current model - the watch was less than a year old when I called Breitling USA. The watch won't turn a year old until October - lol.

By the way I have been wearing it almost everyday - I SIMPLY LOVE IT !

Best Regards,

Enezdez

I'd say black if it's just a choice between black and slate, as I think slate can look a little washed out.

BUT if it was my cash, I'd be going YELLOW all the way!

If you didn't already own a black dial SOH, I would say go with the black dial.
Since you already have a Ling with a darker dial, I would have to say: YELLOW on Ti is the way to go!

the yellow dial SS is growing on me, as is the Skyland!

this may be controversial but i really dont like the look of the dial on the Ti!

plus i heard is really light for its size and a like the weight

I agree on both counts. I just wish the markers on the yellow SS Seawolf were black not grey.

i wish the markers were white or stainless, cos its the dark grey markers on the yellow that make it a no no for me and the markers what are pushing me towards the black/slate dial

I vote for slate - black is so common, with a slate dial being quite rare.

I've owned both slate and yellow, and slate is definitely a keeper. It's way more versatile in my opinion. Yellow is cool at first but it tends to look tacky after awhile.

But I only have 1 post, so what do I know?

thanks, im now sure slate is the one to go for, i like the understatedness of it and i think the yellow is a bit in your face.

i have the black face SOH and a sliver face Tag so the slate will ad a different dimension to my meager collection.

plus i like the look of the slate with the brown strap aswell
