When the ASW came out in stainless I didnt really care for it. It has since grown on me, especially in the slate dial. Went to my AD today to pick one up, he didnt have it in stock, so I had him order it. He gave it to me for $2800(U.S.) out the door on a stainless steel bracelet. Im pretty excited, now I just have to wait for it to come in. Will post pics then.

That sounds like a pretty good deal, since the Steelfish is now priced at
about $2950.
Much like you, I didn't care for the new stainless Seawolf at first, at least until I actually saw one physically, and not in a picture. However, I got my Steelfish in Feb. and I still prefer the looks of it over any other. I did try the Seawolf on, although it looks bulkier, and is according to measurements, than the Steelfish, it was still quite comfortable. So I am quite happy with what I have. My AS Blacksteel unfortunatley still stays in the case. I wore it for the first time in a few months, the other day, but I was really glad to get the Steelfish back on my wrist.
Anyway, the grey dial on the Seawolf looks great, although I still have not seen on in the flesh. It looks great on the Breitling website, and I think their photos in some cases are a bit better than the previous site.
Will be looking forward to your pics. Kind of hard to count the sleeps until it arrives, since you are not sure.
Cheers,
Carl

Thanks guys, I cant wait for it to come in. I was about to grab a yellow he had in stock but in person the grey stencil numbers looked washed out against the yellow dial, and didnt match the black diver strap it was on, which was kind of disappointing because the older style looked great with the yellow face and black numerals on a black strap.
