i just got back from my breitling ad and after spending 3 hours for looking the right watch for me
i decided on a black dial seawolf with black calf leather.looks good but i have already thoght to change a little.
what do you think will fit it the most?
black rubber?
ss bracelet?
should i keep it on leather?
most of the time it will be my daily wearer...

If this is gonna be your daily then I would suggest the racer strap or the bracelet. The leather is gonna get worn out if you wear it daily. The rubber racer strap shows almost no use ,and the bracelet will just show swirls . I am not a fan of the leather bands as they dry out and eventually fall apart.

Lovely watch! Personally I like the grey dial with brown calf combo.

Did you find that weighty watch head on a light leather strap a bit top heavy, like it wants to spin round your wrist?

As already said the Ocean Racer is fantastic. They really do balance out a heavy watch and fit perfectly

Congrats. The Seawolf is a beast of a diver. I wear mine on the superb DPii deployment.

Hi!

Great Watch My Favorite Breitling - Non-Navitimer!

I have a Seawolf Yellow Ti on the bracelet & I would strongly recommend the bracelet - however I have been contemplating getting an additional rubber strap for it - tho if I do I would just get the economical tang buckle since I have the bracelet - nonetheless if I did not have the bracelet I would get the rubber strap with the deployment.

Hope that makes sense! :shock:

Best Regards,

Enezdez

The best diver watch!
If you wanna see some pics of my seawolf with ocean racer click on "New B" link in my signature.

The seawolf is very thick so, with a bracelet it will be too blingy and heavy. I recommend a rubber strap with deployant.

I had the Seawolf on both a brown leather strap, a diver pro strap and an Ocean Racer strap. The Ocean Racer was by far the most comfortable. I have to say, that I liked the looks of the Seawolf on the brown leather a lot. Here are some pics (rather poor attempt on my part) which hopefully give you an idea. I have seen some members' pics which are a lot better esp. with the OR strap:
