They´re all great. But It would be the SA, if I had any chance pulling it of... So I´de have to go with the SA. It´s just so perfectly porportioned. Seawolf looks a little "of balanced" on my wrist.

The SA is too big for me, so thats out. The Skyland is awesome but I already have a regular one. So, its the seawolf for me. If I didnt have the Skyland already, im probably pick that one.

I'd go with none of the above, the blacksteel models just don't appeal to me.

Not as keen on the blacksteel models as I used to be, but if I was buying one it would definitely be the Skyland. It's the original, and the proportions seem right to me.

I am honestly thinking about the Seawolf Chrono in BS. I would kind of like a quartz, just cause I have so many autos these days, and I don't like the brushed look of the regular Seawolf Chono model (although it's fairly straightforward to get it polished). Getting the BS allows me to solve both of these "problems" plus have a BS.

It's not super high on my list, but if I got a BS that would be it. My prediction is that the Seawolf Chrono BS won't be that popular and in a year or two I'll be able to pick one up used at a good price.

Skyland for me, without a doubt.

While I REALLY don't like surface coated models, if I WAS in the market for one, I'd probably go the Seawolf Chrono version too! My reasoning is that DLC/PVD was originally used for military/tool applications, so IMO it makes sense for a watch that it's very "tool" on the outside to be the same on the inside too. The Seawolf Chrono is one of the most extreme chronographs in the world with it's 1000m functional pushpieces, so having a military look on the outside of a super-rugged design, with a very rugged quartz movement inside just seems to make the most sense to me.......

Not a big fan of the blacksteel's and the 3 options above aren't my favourite models either :(

If I had to choose a model it would be the sealwolf.

Especially it's the idea of scratching the coat that puts me off.

Is the Blackbird blacksteel under consideration? I'd take that one if I was buying a blacksteel model. Out of the 3 listed by the OP I'd go for the Skyland.
