Del 4,437 Posted July 1, 2019 Some of you will know that for many years on RWG I was "the Breitling guy" and, in particular, owned a sought-after Seawolf V1 yellow dial (relumed), which was a special watch (affectionately known as "The Yellow One") but I eventually decided to sell it on for reasons that currently escape me! Here's the sales thread I managed to dig up, in case you're interested.... Anyway, back to present day! The yellow Seawolf has always been a favourite of mine and, even although it's a humungous watch, I picked one up today at a local AD. My intention was to buy it in Heathrow T5 when I go on hols in a few weeks but, to my shock and delight, the local AD matched the airport price! Maybe being the first of the month was a good thing - a decent start to their monthly sales figures I guess! I'm really chuffed to bits with this one. It really is an iconic Breitling model and is a head-turner thanks to the yellow dial and the overall size of the watch! I snapped a few photos of the box set and watch for your viewing pleasure.

Genius 281 Posted July 1, 2019 Very nice mate, didn't realise how thick the case is on these! Makes the steelfish almost look like a dress watch... Suppose they gotta get that extra 1km depth rating from somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
