Very nice watch. Congrats. I like the bright yellow. I have seen the new Pro bracelet, yet I still prefer the older bracelet, which looks wider.

Never been a big fan of brushed watches, but I like that

Very nice Colin, looks great on your wrist. I'm looking forward to seeing one in the flesh. How do you like the new bracelet? Is it beefy enough for the Seawolf? Congrats and wear it in good health.

Don

Really stunningly beautiful! I had the previous model with the yellow dial, and I must admit this does look better. Your post does make me miss having a Seawolf. I had two so far, maybe if I get my next one it will be a keeper.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful pics you took.
Congratulations!
Cheers,
Carl

Congratulations, lovely watch and a man after my own heart as I have both the titanium Seawolf on the later style Ti bracelet and the previous stainless model on a bracelet; both with yellow dials.
For this reason I don't want to like the new model too much (though it looks great), as I promised myself I'd stop at two Seawolfs though I'm of the understanding that the new model is thinner than the two previous versions which, as I like the thickness of mine may help to alleviate the desire to buy!

(I have had a recent urge for a Tudor Submariner though)

Totally agree regarding the thickness as probably the only (to me) minus point of the watch, but some may prefer the new thinner model to suit their wrists.

Too chunky for me to wear but the ti+yellow combination is great.

Just off to visit my local & extremely fine Breitling dealer to compare steel versions.

Just compared my Mk1 steel yellow dial to this new one and the first thing I can report is that side by side the new model's dial does make the Mk1's look slightly washed out, though it still looks good in isolation and great under sunlight. I think I also prefer the slightly chunkier bezel on the new one too. In defense of the Mk1 steel it's slightly thicker which I prefer and I'd concur with those who favour its more distinctive bracelet (which I don't think can be fitted to the new model).

So tempted as I am I can't justify three almost identical watches!

Which do I prefer? The Ti Seawolf on the aforementioned later Ti Bracelet.

Just saw it in the flesh today at Waltons in Chester. I really, really like it and I don't say that about many Breitlings these days. :lingsrock:

I honestly never thought I would consider yellow on any watch or car as far as that goes. I now stand corrected, I've looked at these pics several times and no doubt it has grown on me. Yellow might be next for me in good time....congrats on a very very nice looking watch!
