The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi Folks,
i hope to get some information here.
I am a proud owner of a new SW steel black dial.
Bestween the lugs i could not found any numbers.
The Serialnumber is on the backcase but i thought there where numbers also between the lugs, like on my steelfish.
Can anybody confirm this?

There should be manufacture date and dial colour code numbers between the 6 o'clock lugs.

Do you have one and can take a look ?
I relly need to confirm this visually, and not with "there should"
Thanks a lot.

OK, let me try again.....

On every other post 2000 or so Breitling that I have seen (several hundred) there is a manufacture date / dial colour code there. I don't have a Seawolf right now to check.

Post some pictures of yours and let's take a look.

OK , thats what i mean and there so many different posts and answers , so i like only a few guys to be able to remove thier strap on the 6`o clock side to tell me if there is anything.
I had already a look on mine, so its useless the WE will have a look.
cheers

here is say it should be started to date from 2003-2004, not 2000...

Thanks mate, i found that earlier, but as you say as well there , so far, is no real written answer.
I think also its different from model to model !

SO all Seawolf owners, put these things together to make it clear !

They didn't all start at the same time - by 2003 / 2004 all models had it (that I am aware of), but there were a significant number with it before then - as I said "2000 or so"

Just one thought.....

Is your Seawolf steel or titanium?

Not as familiar with titanium pieces so maybe they are different????

2 of my Breitlings, neither AS - i don't have one, do not have date stamps between the 6 lugs. If I get really ambitious today, I'll figure out which ones. All purchased from ADs.

Really?????

Yours are all new (within a few months) right???

Maybe Breitling have decided to discontinue the stamping - that would explain why the OPs hasn't got it - that was also mentioned as new.

I know that there was a post about a B01 having a slightly different format for the colour code, but they definitely still had them.

Nope just me leaping before checking again. It was the GT and I just checked it - the GT has a distinct lower cut on the interhorn and behold - if you look carefully enough, there she be.

i have one in titanium case and he has the manufacture date on 6 lugs, it's difficult to read as it's written in very small font and i have no lens here but should be '0206 B5'

My Seawolf is a new steel model , stamped in papers 07.April.2010
it starts with a 1165xxx serial number.

Yeah I was kind of straw clutching!


@BAMBAM, can you post pictures so we can see. At the risk of stating the obvious - you may have to remove the strap (and definitely remove the bracelet) to see it.
