I will give you my impression; for me it was a truely impulse buy, I had a yellow faced version. I was at my jewler's in Jacksonville, FL and he pulled it out with the "Hey look what I got!" Its size was comfortable, I would compare it to my Deep Sea in size, but because of the Ti it wore more like my SD 4000. It was very comfortable, easy to wear, very sporty, and spot on accurate. I wore mine on an Ocean Racer Strap.
Now why I no longer have it, well I traded it for a new rifle scope. I love my SD 4000 and DSSD, so in a pinch the Sea Wolf went in trade. I do miss it though.

FYI - it's called the Avenger Seawolf. I've had two of the new stainless ones. They are phenomenal watches. The wear VERY much like the DSSD. It is a solid chunk of steel, but as long as you have normal sized wrists, you should be able to wear it very comfortably. Also, Breitling's anti-reflective coating on the crystals make their watches POP. I wish the Deepsea had that.

I had a yellow dial Stainless Steel Seawolf as well (recently sold). It's a big chunk of a watch, wear quite comfortably and easy read on the time. If you are looking at to get one, go for the yellow dial. It's one of the best yellow diver out there in my opinion.

I have to agree with you Ultraman... The yellow one is absolutely perfect for those snorkling days . Too bad I was too late on deciding whether to put in an offer or not on your B.... |

I own the Titanium version of this watch and absolutely love the feel of it. It's deceivingly lightweight and the gun metal look is just bad *ass. I have a neighbor (Navy man) who took it down to 5000 ft in a submersible and put it out ...and it survived...so at least we know Breitling doesn't lie about the quality.
