The showdown of the ultimate breitling divers. I know a lot of you have one at least one of these and some have both. What are your opinions on the two pieces and the differences between them. Pros, cons.?

Im looking to buy one of these in the near future and I just cant make up my mind. I keep flip flopping. Sway me, b source. Please. :michaelangelo:

fyi, im looking at the blue dial SF and the blue dial SW. both on ProII and my wrist size is a 6 1/2.

I had to go with the Steelfish, although I'd probably get the black dial.

I went Steelfish, but it would be white for me.

If your wrist was larger I would have voted SW (one big watch), but I voted SF - should fit a little better all-around.

I have to say the Steelfish is a fantastic watch, both as a diving watch and for everyday wear. I have both watches and the Seawolf is a bit too big for wearing on a night out and the markers on the Steelfish are amazing in darker waters and with it being brushed steel there is little glinting to scare fish. I have a blue face with a steel bracelet, but get a rubber strap as an extra and you have the best of both!

You may find both a little large for your wrist, but in 2 different ways. The case back on the Steelfish id really deeply rounded and will space the watch up, off your wrist. The Seawolf, although larger has a flatter case back and deaper case sides so sits flatter on the wrist.

Deffinitely worth trying both on, as you're border line with that wrist size

My wrist is only around 6 3/4" and the older Ti Seawolf sits very well :wink:

I've owned 3 Steelfishes and 0 Seawolfs, but if I was in the market for another diver I'd personally be picking up a steel black dial Seawolf with stencil arabics.

The only reason I bought the Steelfishes over the Seawolf in the past is because the old Seawolf was titanium.

The Steelfish is a still a great watch, but of the two I'd have the Seawolf.

I'm a new Steelfish owner (silver dial) and I love it. It's big enough (I have a small wrist) without being too big. It's definitely eye-catching, and looks great whether you're dressed casually or dressed up for the evening (especially with the silver dial, which adds to its versatility). Go Steelfish!

Tough one, but given your choices, I'd go with the blue dial Steelfish over a blue dial Seawolf. The blue on the Steelshish is more interesting and the textured dial aides the distinctive dial color. Steelfish is better lumed than the Seawolf.
