REALLY?????

You ought to buy that ASAP, that`s more like the price of a discounted REGULAR Seawolf, unusual to get such a discount on a limited watch of 1000!

Be SURE that they are not misunderstanding which model you are talking about though, there was a Code Yellow Seawolf Chrono (quartz) that wasn`t as limited or as popular!
I would have if it wasn't for another poster on here who put up a pic of his Rolex Milgauss so I ended up going out and buying a white face Milgauss instead! smile
If anyones interested though it was swiss watches direct online who seem to get good reviews that offered a new one to me for that price, never used them before but like I say, reading the reviews at the time they sounded trustworthy. Seemed like a good price to me. I know it was the right model because I gave them the specific reference number etc.
I`m far too paranoid to buy online!

I`m sure you would agree that a Ti Seawolf would complete the picture! :-)

I have a couple of Breitlings...

Aerospace (E65062)
I've just been working backwards through this thread, spotting the occasional Aerospace and thinking "that doesn't look like mine, the numbers are too big", but this appears to be exactly what I have - bought, I'm guessing a little, in 1997 or 1998. I've worn mine literally every day since except of course when it has been away for a new battery, oh and the time I managed to fumble it putting it on and pretty much threw it onto the tiled bathroom floor, which was an expensive fumble smile

Edit: Except it isn't the same - on mine the markers on the bezel at 12, 3, 6 and 9 are gold and the strap has two gold lines down it. How many variations have they made of this watch? ;-)

Wow, a proper Aerospace! Same as mine - barring I have the rouleau (is that correct?) bracelet.
I never really appreciated the italicized numerals of the later types.
Mine is one of a 54 off limited edition, dedicated to 233 OCU Wittering, Harrier squadron.
Wonderful watch.

My Intruder. Think I bought this in about 1998 - came on a bright blue leather strap (!). Doesn't get much wrist time now and had been left in a drawer for at least five years not working. Sent it off to RyteTime end of last year and now fully working again:

I have a 2003 Blackbird cloud9



Worn nearly every day since purchased and refurbished to new condition after an 8 week holiday at the Breitling centre in Tunbridge Wells last year. Well worth a visit if you need your watch serviced thumbup

Never seen it before. Your wrist shot doesn't do it justice, the pic in the link, that's a stunning piece.

Thanks very much, I love it and wouldn't part with it. Don't often see them. Also came with a rubber strap which doesn't do it justice.
