Wow….Yellow seems to be a favorite. I thought I had my mind made up with the Tungsten Grey but you guys have me second guessing my decision. ????????

Grey, black and silver dials are always the norm. Nothing wrong with them at all, matter of fact all the Seawolf dials look fantastic. There are, however, so few really excellent watches with a coloured dial such as the Seawolf. It makes a nice change, and the dial so well done, and such a beautiful, vibrant yellow. The Seawolf is by no means a dress watch anyway, so the yellow should really make no difference as to the occasion on which to wear it.

You must try all of them again, and then make your choice. If you then have any hesitation about the yellow, by all means go with the grey. Just don't let your choice be swayed by what you believe others may think!

Cheers,
Carl

Yes, agree with Carl, sometimes those combos just work. I'd never considered a watch out of the 'ordinary' range of dial colours until earlier this year forum member Ricardo posted for-sale pictures of his coral (ie orange) old-style SuperOcean (on rubber), which just had me gawping at the screen. Not for every day wear, at least for most people, but I think the yellows and corals work really well on some of Breitling's more rugged watches.

I got the grey and it is nice, but in retrospect if I had to do it over again, I'd go with yellow. Its sharp- Now if they only did a yellow GMT version with arabic numerals....one can wish?

Well, I am currently waiting for a yellow dialed Seawolf 1 to arrive. I owned a grey dial before and I have to say I think I'm going to like the yellow dial much better. Ill update with pictures once it arrives.

Ok guys, I appreciate all the feedback and even though yellow seems to be the winner I ended up ordering the tungsten grey. My AD said he should have it in about 3 to 4 weeks. Thanks for all the replies.
