Just wondering if anyone has received any reports of any movement (any is a greatly under-used word) on production recommencing on these ...

I am referring to the "numeral'd version" in case they're produced in simplified form as well.

Thanks!

I had heard from Andrew a month ago that it's a "few months" away. I expect them to be made after the new Breitling rep watches come out

Speaking of the rare yellow Seawolf, you know what, I just got myself of a brand new one but despite being a Breitling fan, it has not been singing to me. Maybe because I have many of the various other models now and in focus on their upgrades.

May be posting it on the Trade Forum in a few days or put some pics in the Seawolf thread first.

I know these things can be fickle but for me, after seeing the pics and seeing another variant up close, I think I would enjoy owning one. It may be that I go the same way as you and decide it is not for me, but even so, there's nothing like owning and experiencing something to really see how one feels about it ...

It's actually pretty nice really. I ordered it a long time ago, was advised by my local dealer that there is only one left at their contact, and anxiously waited for it. It's just that when it arrived I'm, unfortunately, now caught with other things that were delivered first haha. I'll post a picture tomorrow for feedback and may place it at the sales section too.

doubt you'll have any trouble selling it mate ... I love seeing nicely prepared shots of this watch - there is just something about it for me (any you I guess ... you bought one!) and I think it would look great with a pencil lead finish so might be my first serious mod - obviously I am talking about a project to please myself, not achieve any kind of master-replication

Favorite Summertime Watch

This watch became my 51st Rep this past June. If you Email SILIX they can get it for you. I think I paid $200 with an Asian clone movement. I love it and have gotten alot of OOOhh's and AAAhhhhh's and compliments on it. Good Luck

I doubt that Silix has them since many members have sourced it for a long time. Me too :)

Silix version is very different. Color, lume ect. If you really need one now, gotta get it from them.

And since I'm feeling like a dick this morning! ;)

I just checked the yellow seawolf I recently acquired. The hour markers are white colored, different from the usual black markers on a yellow dial.

It made me undecided if I'll just let it stay at the drawer, use it, trade it, or something. We'll see. :unsure:

No idea which is more accurate - no idea which is more expensive - they are both nice... the black numerals do it for moi

Balck numerals are more accurate to gen. Lume should only be on the hands, the hour dots, and at the 12/6/9 markers, not on the numbers themselves.

Maybe I'll try it out a few days or just send it to the sales thread altogether.

Is arcadias model the Silix version or something else? I was hoping that he would have the correct version so I could stick to the sales thread for days to wait for his watch :)
