SEAWOLF !!!! I love that watch "Avenger series " wears nice for it's size to. 3300m - 10000 feet WR. Could probably wear it in the shower! It IS on my list for this year. Please post a picture if you get it.

Two questions:
How large is your wrist? Do you have other watches to wear? Not everyone is big enough to pull off the Seawolf: it's pretty thick. Also, yellow is fun for certain occasions, but IMO is too loud for an everyday watch. I wouldn't chose a yellow dial for my only nice watch. |

Post some pictures of the watch if you can. It all depends on many factors but in your shoes I would go for the Seawolf.

My wrist is in the smaller size about 6-3/4.. i do have other ones as well. I love the colt with the silver face even though its more of an off white. I had heard the colt is going away and thats why i popped for that.

I have a 44mm colt white face and love it. Colt is more versatile.

Definitely try a Seawolf on before purchase unless you have a >7.25 inch wrist (above average). The watch is thick to say the least, but definitely manageable if you go in with a positive attitude even if you had a smaller wrist :)))

With your wrist size I’d stick with the Colt. It’s a great watch in its own right. And yes, the Colt has been discontinued.

I would stick with the Colt. The Seawolf is absolutely awesome but it pretty huge. It is a 45mm watch and it is a bit thicker than the DSSD, at nearly 3/4 of an inch thick. I have a wrist a shy under 7 inches, and it looks massive on my wrist.

Avenger. Cobra Yellow. I just got it this week. My first Breitling was a Colt 21 years ago. The Avenger isn’t as big as some say. It fits under my shirt cuff. I have a 7.3 wrist and have been wearing a 51mm Garmin Fenix 6X, so the 45 mm Avenger seems small lol.

I have the Yellow Seawolf. It is a big watch ( makes my Seadweller look small) but I wear it a lot and it’s very comfortable.

I might look at the Avenger 43. Thickness is only about 12.5mm I believe. A bit more presence than the colt, but not as massive as the seawolf. I think the size of the seawolf might be troublesome for you.

For me Seawolf 100 times. But it really depends on your wrist size..its a big thick watch.

The Seawolf is a stunning watch. Great engineering.
