New Avenger Seawolf

Ok, so I told the wife a few weeks ago I was look for more of an everyday watch since my Chronomat was starting to get some scratches on the bracelet and it is a pretty dressy watch in my opinion, so to my total surprise she answered the call this Christmas Morning. Not sure how everyday this is going to be, it is a HUGE watch...!

Really sweet dial on that one, and you wear it well considering it's 45mm.

The 45mm is not the issue, its the thickness over 18.5mm from top to bottom...! Wore it today for Christmas and I have to say I did not even know it was on my wrist...

IMHO I don't think there is a nicer looking Breitling watch than the one shown by KJM11379 but I am biased as I own the same model. Bought it on the PRO2 bracelet but later added the Diver Pro2 with the micro adjustment. Gives the watch a totally different look. I personally prefer it on the Diver Pro2. Have to say I don't even notice the size or weight.

Was considering adding a black leather tang buckle strap as well, just not sure how long a leather strap would last and at £160 a pop that's got to be a consideration

The blue version with the blue Diver Pro looks very smart and casual. Great choice.
