Bead Balsted SS Breitling Seawolf

Recommended Posts

Recently got an old school SS Breitling Avenger Seawolf and had it bead blasted, or more correctly aluminium oxide blasted to look like titanium as the Ti model is very hard to find.

Here are the pics, i also managed to remove the bezel and ill show some pics of that too.

I cant wait to get it back and assembled

Enjoy

EDIT: Forgot to say that the crystal on this watch doesn't have any tension ring, its just a press fit, so no swimming with this watch!

I've contemplated doing this to get the open 4 for my Ti Avenger bezel by using a SS version of the bezel. The thing that worries me about doing it is the fact that over the years when I've bead blasted any type of steel it always looked awesome up until the time I touched it with my oily fingers. Then it had stains on it. The titanium doesn't do that. Have you noticed this happening on your case? If not, then I know what my next purchase is going to be...a SS bezel!

BTW, yours looks great!

Looks great with bead blasting. Though it will darken over some time and the natural oils in your hands/fingers will make it harder to maintain that "look" that my old '81 Delorean.
