I have no insight, but Breitling makes some top caliber watches.

I prefer the Seawolf and the Colt watches due to the cleaner dials.

I would much rather have a Seawolf than the traditional overly busy dials of Breitlings usual fare. The titanium makes for a lighter watch with the same strength of much heavier models.

Plus I like divers.....and that's a nice one..

I've had two of them...a yellow dial and a black dial.

As much I tried to like the watch, it was just too thick (tall) for my liking.

It would be too tall if your daily attire includes long sleeves with tight cuffs.

If you wear short leaves most of the time shouldn't be a problem.

how bout the Superocean, black dial...it's gorgeous! (although from the looks of it Seawolf and Superocean are similar). good luck!

re Breitlign Seawolf

hi mate

i had this watch for about 3yrs and was very happy with it.

It sat quite tall on my wrist (i think its 18mm high) but it wasnt LARGE as some other watches that i know of.

I wore it for about two years on the standard titanium bracelet and then for about 1yr, i wore it on a Breitling buffalo hide strap. It sat a lot "lower" on the strap than it did on the bracelet.

Aside from this, because it's all titanium, it was very comfortable to wear as far as weight was concerned.

Towards the end, my watch started gaining time outside of COSC specs (about 15 secs per day) and i had the opportunity to sell it to put towads a Sea Dweller, so i had to let it go, but on the whole, i was very happy with my Seawolf.

cheers
Jeelan
