It is finally my Birthday so I can now enjoy the present I bought for myself.

One of the very last BNIB Titanium SeaWolfs.

After my review of the Stainless Steal SeaWolf posted previously I really wanted one. In discussing this with Sam at Andrew Michaels he mentioned he had a NOS Ti SeaWolf. He said that if I bought it he would give me my full money back when I upgraded to the SS SeaWolf. So a no-brainer really. However, having worn this Ti SeaWolf for a few ours I'm not sure I will be selling it. I absolutely love it and I think it would be very difficult to find another NOS Ti SeaWolf with the collectable Breitling stamped rubber strap. It truly is the definitive, utilitarian, designed-for-a-purpose, tool watch.

Here are a few quick and dirty pics taken at work. Better pics and a mini review to follow soon.

Thank You for Your kind words Gentelmen.

I do truly love this watch. Could well be a keeper and I'll have to save for the full amount to buy the SS SeaWolf, which I definitely still want.

I can understand where you're coming from Mr Stone. A lot of the new offerings look like they are trying too hard. The Ti SeaWolf is so understated it is seriously cool, IMHO.

Thank You all again for your generous and kind words.

I cannot express in words how happy and lucky I feel when I look at my Ti SeaWolf. So, here's an emoticon that most resembles my gurning features :D

What is it with you guys and your communal affliction that cannot look at a rotating bezel that is not dead centre? :shock: I simply leave the bezel where it was last used. Surely, I am not alone in this. :?

Anyways, just for you guys with bezel related OCD I have put a few pictures together of this amazing timepiece in the Gallery section. Please follow this............

LOL Mr Driver. Yeah, thanks for that. Although I suppose I already know I am travelling on my own and unique path. Frequently in totally the opposite direction to everyone else.
