Sure took a while as it must be well over a year ago I sold off my two lings and a ball to get a black 6.75 and silver Seawolf. I Bought the Bentley right away but there was a minor detour along the way with a Steelfish, and Helson, but finally today I guess I can say my mission is accomplished and now know I definitely made the right choice. There's nothing I don't like about this watch and even though I haven't sized the bracelet yet, I know it will be the most comfortable watch I have ever owned. I figured I'd be grabbing a rubber strap but just don't feel the need, and if I do it will only be to change it up a little. Like silk on the wrist!

I wasn't sure if I could go with just two (like the plan) but now that I have them I'm pretty sure my fish and shark will take a swim downstream! :D

The only negative is I bought gray market and was not given the papers, something I'm not real happy about, but since I have no intentions to sell I guess it's not a big deal.

Beautiful watch. Just love the newer dial with the batons. I had the black dial for a while (more or less describes nearly all watches I've owned) and just loved it. But in the end, like so many others, just too big for my wrist. Would that it were different. Enjoy it.

Thanks. This is probably the last for quite a while for me so it's nice to end things on a high note.

If you are going Seawolf with sticks that is the dial color to have. Stunning. Well worth the wait I am sure. Enjoy and congrats!

I would have to agree, at least from the pictures I've seen. Every time I'd see a black or blue batons dial I'd really question my decision, but the better pics of the silver had me sold. I'm sure they are all fairly nice once on your wrist.

That's a beautiful watch. Very nice. How's the legibility with the silver dial? I think my old eyes would have some trouble due to lack of contrast (I do with my silver-dial TOC). But for those of you who can still see, this is really nice.

Hard to really say, but I'd suggest you would probably want to try it because if I hold it a couple feet away, and squint, it does get fairly difficult to see.
