New Avenger Seawolf II
Bezel font slightly different and 12 o'clock rider but other than that not much change

Looks good to me.

That dial font really jumps out (and not in a good way for me). These bezel fonts seem weird too, like a compromise between old Aeromarine and Galactic. Also look hard to read in that front on shot - especially 5 and 10.

The dial font is pretty bad. What is Breitling's problem with selecting fonts??????

I like it.. I think that the picture doesn't do it justice I'd like to see it for myself.

I don't have a problem with that at all. I like it.

I must say though, Breitling seem to have a really odd design ethos here - it's one extreme or the other. Either barely touched, or totally left-field reworking. So far (except for the superb E2), I'm very much preferring the "barely touched" designs.

I like that the bezel and dial fonts match. One of the annoying thing about latter day Breitling designs is that they seem to let 38 different people pick a font for the watch. Not this one. I like it.

They dont match... look at the "4"

Im happy with my old SS Seawolf.

(once I get it back from BUSA i'll be happy that is, Dam crystal replacement)

Like that they did not ditch the rider tab bezel. Like the new arrow tip second hand. Like that they "tried" to match the bezel font to the face font, but find it poorly executed. Maybe in person it would be different, but the 5s are all hard to read on the bezel and I don't really like only 2 tick marks between each number on the bezel. That said I still like it a lot. Don't think the average Joe looking in a shop's case would even notice the differences if side by side.

I like the updated military arabics. Just sayin'..

I like this one.

The crown guards are different and the case between the lugs looks curved instead of straight.

Good point about the bezel and dial fonts. I missed that!

I love the new rider tabs, molded right into the bezel.

I can't wait to see it on the new PROIII bracelet as well. Always loved the PROI, then the PROII, but I think this is going to be the best!

Had a Seawolf with the yellow dial. Gorgeous. I am secretly hoping that they will introduce the cool orange dial like on the new Emergency II, but I think that is probably going to be only a dream!

Cheers,
Carl

The font is not readable very well, espacially on the bezel where it doesn't contrast with a background color. Besides that I like it! Clean and professional look.
