Just want to share my new acquisition of the Airwolf! Very sharp watch, super accurate and impressive wrist presence. In a nutshell, loving it very much and it's having alot of wrist time! :-!:-!:-!

Many thanks to the awesome members here who have helped me in my quest for this wolf! Cheers!:-)

Congratulations on the 'Wolf! looks great on your wrist

Nice to see the 'wolf getting some love at last! Shame there was such a rough transition between it and the B1. I think the 2nd Gen dial is much nicer too.

Enjoy it!

So I see in another post you also have a Skyracer? If I were you (just as an experiment) I'd see if the bezels could be successfully swapped between the two! That would then make the Airwolf a true evolution of the B-1, and give the aficionado's one less thing to gripe about the 'wolf. ;)

Very nice, well done. The end of the airwolf will simply make them more exclusive. They won't age very quickly either.
cheers

Hey GX9901,

Is that last brown strap Breitling? Is it easy to switch out straps yourself and are they 22mm?

Thanks,
Merli

There are a variety of aftermarket straps on 22mm for the Airwolf, personally I think the combination for straps are endless.
Changing the straps/bracelet with the correct tool should be easy. Check out the Bergeon 6767F Springbar tool, that's what I use.

The last one is a custom made croc strap installed onto the deployant in place of the rubber pieces on the Ocean Racer strap. I dub it the Croc-Racer. :lol:

Basically I measured the two pieces of rubber and gave the dimension I needed to the strap maker and he made it for me. I've been wearing it for the past couple of days and I really like it. The Ocean Racer deployant is very nice and works well with thick (3-4mm) straps in my opinion. Installing it is the same as installing the rubber pieces so it's pretty straight forward.

The Airwolf accepts 22mm straps at the lugs.
