Looks lovely. It's nice when they come back from a service, like having a new watch

[HarrySmash]

Thanks Neil, very pleased with it. It is a new watch to me though, purchased in WoS from their pre-loved range.

Neil, Monaro & others, have any of worn your Seawolf on a rubber strap yet and if so any tips?

I would like yellow to match the dial but Breitling only seem to offer blue or black.

For me the most comfortable and fantastically adjustable is to have a rubber strap on a deployant clasp, they aren`t cheap but I really don`t like the double sided buckle of the regular diver straps, I`ve had all the Breitling strap combinations and I think my favourite rubber options are the Ocean Racer (with holes) or the completely smooth option ((Diver Pro 3????) but all using the clasp!

If you want a touch of yellow don`t they make that funny (but nice) rubberised leather strap with a yellow underside and sides?

Only wear mine on rubber now and love it. I agree with THE DON the deployment is defiantly the nicest option (I can't afford one) I have a diver pro 2 and 3 the 2 is the smooth one and the 3 has Breitling written in both sides unlike the pro 3 which had it spread over both sides of strap. I have a brushed tang buckle on mine as the case is brushed.

Every time I see your watch it winds me up! :-)

ALWAYS looks great!

Yeah but there aren`t many watches that you could say - if I could only have 1 watch about and you`ve got it!

I`m fine thanks, you?

Now I like the look of that.

I have been on to the Breitling site but they only seem to offer the Superocean strap with a traditional buckle and not the deployant or push-button folding clasps.

I think a trip to the local AD may be required.

The official Breitling site often seems to be missing things!

Don't worry though I'm SURE you would easily be able to find a PUSH BUTTON deployant clasp if you ask around, lots of ADs don't keep stock because it often just sits there for ages, the regular deployant clasp for leather straps was REALLY uncomfortable so make sure it's the PUSH BUTTON version, it comes in polished or brushed finishes, if you fit it all yourself be careful when measuring the rubber pieces before cutting them!

Google Andrew Michaels Breitling, very helpful!

I though they were 42 or 46? I tried a biggie on the other day and it looked very big indeed. I'd choose it on the same strap as you chose, incidentally. V nice!

Hi I know nothing about Breitlings

Could you tell me the size and the exact model number? It looks really fantastic, do you use it as a daily wearer and find it heavy on the wrist at all?

What's the RRP on these and do Breitlings hold their value?

Only just seen this post as notifications are off, Yes its a daily wear, its heavy when you first put it on or other people trying it, but i find it fine for everyday and don't notice.

Neil has answered the other questions, i got it from the boutique in the bahamas, so that saved a couple of thousand.

Here is the transocean boutique edition

That's lovely.The transocean is their nicest watch as its 'vintage' Most of their other stuff is just being.

I have put the titanium bracelet back on after having it on rubber for a few years, feels like a different watch
