ubiquitous Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Finally... Installed And a before to compare... BTW... The source that I purchased this Ti Seawolf from has 20 left. I will reveal the dealer's name and contact info to experienced and trusted members only (i.e. I will be looking at tenure as well as post count and content of posts to determine this criteria). The reason for this... The dealer wishes to remain low profile; I'm only abiding by his wishes. Please note- I have no affiliation with this individual, and am in no way a dealer or seller of any sort. I take no responsibility in any transactions or agreements, etc. Moderators- If this is violating TOC's, please feel free to edit this post accordingly. Best, R
700club Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 congrats Randy. that watch should be nicknamed "The Beast" looks great!
Watchmeister Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Do I qualify? Let me know. It would pair up nicely with my Chrono Avenger, wouldn't it? Now all we need is a better date font.
ubiquitous Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Posted August 22, 2006 Warr- Of course you do! I'll email you the details... 'Bruiser for the Kruzer(00)' R
By-Tor Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 You did it again!!! Now that's a monstrous and handsome SeaWolf!!!
MAHLER Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 No.... too much beautiful !!! Please can I have a photo of Breit close to the Daytona El Primero ?
infinitime Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Hi Ubi! I hope I qualify as well! Would really appreciate it if you could send the dealer's info! Thanks!
ubiquitous Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Posted August 22, 2006 BTW- If you guys are looking for dials to go with your Ti Seawolf watches, you can get them from watchpool on eBay. But be casreful- They usually arrive with slight irregularities and/or damage on them.
dadog13 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 @ubi...that is a great watch... and please if i qulify as a trusted member, please send me contact info of the dealer... regards, Vladimir
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 No.... too much beautiful !!! Please can I have a photo of Breit close to the Daytona El Primero ? I'll try and get a pic of this tonight
Tribal Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Great watch Randy.... Looks Great. I'm not abig breitling fan but looks very good.. I know Watchpool most of the dials have some spots but they are cheap... RG Tribal
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 Heh... You know Tribal, I'm not a big Breitling fan either, but I thought I'd give this project a try I'm still not sure if the watch is my style, but I do enjoy looking at it (even if I'll probably never wear it). Who knows... Maybe these discontinued models might become a collector's item some day?
ubiquitous Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Posted August 24, 2006 No.... too much beautiful !!! Please can I have a photo of Breit close to the Daytona El Primero ? Mahler... For you, by request The Seawolf is a big chunk of metal
700club Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Is it larger than a Chrono Avenger? I can't find the case specs. Edited August 24, 2006 by 700club
MAHLER Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 Mahler... For you, by request Thanks... this is a vision !!!
Jetsons Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) WOW! Great looking beast, Randy! You finally managed to get the darn movement retaining ring off. I've never been attracted to Breiting but this is a beauty for sure. Interestingly, I visited Tourneau NYC recently and tried a few on plus others. I was smitten by an orange dial model which was a beauty but pricey for an ETA 2824. BTW, I was asked twice if I had an interest in trading my not so stock MBW 1665. Thankfully, I couldn't possibly meet Randy's strict criteria. My watch boxes are already full to the brim! Jet Edited August 24, 2006 by Jetsons
ubiquitous Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Posted August 24, 2006 Is it larger than a Chrono Avenger? I can't find the case specs. C- I believe it's the same size as the Chrono Avenger. Should be 44mm x 18mm. It's one big motherchucker. Weight... Feels to be about the same weight as an SS Sub. WOW! Great looking beast, Randy!

Yes, indeed. It took a little wiggling and jiggling... Some pulling and some prying... But that movement ring finally came free. Once that was removed, the rest was smooth sailing.

I will reveal the dealer's name and contact info to experienced and trusted members only Wow! Thats nice, I think the first watch that really made me notice was a Brietling. Don't think I would meet either of your criteria, never mind. How hard was it to swap the dial?
ubiquitous Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Posted August 24, 2006 The actual dial swap was simple. Only thing that was 'out of the norm' was changing the rehaut ring. The genuine has a very low profile ring, while the rep's is quite tall. Pretty easy to do. The part that I got hung up on was the movement ring. This is a very large ring that is pressed in to fill the gap between the movement and the case. Getting it out required some patience on my part, but I finally got it pulled. Once that was done, the rest of the work tool maybe 10 minutes.
