Wearing the new Avenger II Seawolf that my wife bought me last week for our wedding anniversary. Its a little on the large side for my puny wrists, but didn't have the heart to tell her!

Also, note the two mouse-mats I use in work. My colleagues wind me up about it, but my watches are 'swirl' free... :D


The watch looks great, may I ask what size wrists you have? How do you find the depth of the watch?

Thanks! My wrists are just over 6.5 inches. The depth I have no real issues with, and I like the 'heft' of the watch.
I work in IT, and so am able to dress casually most days too, which helps with the brightness of this particular model 8)

thanks for the reply, my wrists are only 6.75 so it should look similar. I tried one on a year or so ago and seem to remember it being fine but I really need to find another to try on and refresh my memory. I'm in IT/design myself too so dress in jeans and tshirt every day so the heft and style will work. More of a rubber strap fan too which I think suits the seawolf. Currently torn between a new black dial seawolf or an older seawolf 1 with black or yellow dial.

There is something about the simplicity of the ss seawolf 1 stencil font that I prefer over the silvered digits on the seawolf 2. Then I need to decide if I am brave enough to buy the yellow dial!

Mine was a wedding anniversary gift from the wife, so the courage element of buying a yellow watch was luckily not a factor for me! It grew on me very quickly though, and the darker yellow on the black rubber just screams Breitling.

I was offered a good price on the bracelet from Andrew Michaels, but think I prefer the rubber for now...
