Just looking at the watch itself i prefer the seawolf and i love the yellow dial and it probably looks killer with the black rubber strap, but i also have a super avenger coming in, so maybe the SOSF would complement it better?

Hmmm, still can't decide and also need to get rid of some other stuff before..

Well, you already like the Seawolf better. You have a Super Avenger coming so the Steelfish is going to feel pretty small compared to that. Plus, the Steelfish is not available in yellow so I think you should get the yellow Seawolf.

You want a pic with both watches laying side by side?

Yes that would be nice and wrist shots from not to close that would be excellent.
Thank you in advance.

The seawolf looks bigger to me in those photos. The steelfish has less flaws. I was impressed that they finished up the work on the date window of the steelfish, I ordered one of those. Should be getting it in some time soon. Black dial? not for me. Blue. But I think the black looks nice on the seawolf. On the steelfish I like the photos of the white and the blue ones but not too keen on the black.

The only thing I'm wondering about on these late model breitling replicas is if you can see the stamping on the back of the clasp obtuse of the breitling logo. I am guessing that they fixed that, but it is a very minor detail nobody would ever notice. Just got the watch, stamping is there.

Well I just got my steelfish today from Time4Direct and it is an amazing watch. The blue dial is dark, so if you're thinking about black but aren't sure, blue is good because it is real dark anyway. I had to take it under good lighting to tell for sure that it was blue. The lume is very good, possibly the best of any rep I own maybe even better than on my MBW/TWB 16613 submariner. It does have better lume than my 4th generation PO.

I put the watch up next to a couple of POs and noticed that for one, it looks amazing next to a brand new 42.5mm PO and also although it is a little bigger than the Omega, I undid the clasp and put it on my wrist and it fits me fine. I shouldn't have a problem adjusting this type of link, they seem a lot more forgiving than the Omega links + long diver's clasp. The 45mm PO is too large for my wrist, but the 42.5mm PO and this watch are fine. This Breitling surely enough is one hunk of metal. It feels heavy. I like the weight.
