So what do we have here.........?  A peak inside reveals this. Interesting.  Ah, I see now. So, what's inside?   I'll ask again. What's inside?  Any guesses as to why I can't stop smiling today?  Rick. |

Looks like a ProII bracelet, fairly large sized dial, Aeromarine type bezel.
My guess is: Super Ocean Chrono!

You da' Man Scott. Although you didn't guess the colour. ;D I can't tell you how long I have lusted after one of these and how happy I am to add one to my collection.    So, that's what a 48.4mm diameter watch looks like on somebody who's 5'6" and weighs little more than 8 stone (53kg). I've tried many watches on in the past but none of them have more presence than the Super Avenger on the wrist. A good thing or a bad thing? I don't care it feels brilliant. @ GJ and Scott: Apologies for the tease. I couldn't resist. Yours Seriously Chuffed, Rick. |

Hey Rick, Yea, the push guards gave it away.... ;D CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!  A real stunner, love the white on white. I'm not a big fan of white subs on a colored dial, that's exactly the config I would have went with... Love the 48mm size.... And I bet you weigh 9 stones with it on... ;D Congrats, wear it well, I know it'll give you years of great service! Apology accepted, but as penance you must give us more pictures.. Now, show us some more pictures..... |

Thanks Guys, There will definitely be more photos coming soon. I'm not sure how much running time you need to give new lever escapement mechanical watches these days but I did a quick and dirty accuracy test anyway. Against the atomic clock it gained 3 seconds in 24 hours. Very pleased with this to start off with. for now, Rick. |

Wow. Great looking watch. Huge, but nice. I wish I had the wrist to wear it. ;D
I was going to point out that if you wanted big, they just released the Montbrilliant Legende which is 47mm. Except your watch is even bigger than that!

I wish I had the wrist to wear it. ;D Hey John, Rick will probably be the first to say, but he ain't got big wrists either.... In fact, I think he said they're pretty small.. Just shows what a great looking watch can do for you no matter what your wrist size is... ;D Hey Rick, one word of advise, if you're wearing it alot, you may want to switch wrists on a regular basis. Otherwise, your forearms won't match after wearing that barbell for a month! ;D ;D ;D  |

I've always wanted a Seawolf, but I just can't accept that its not way too huge for my wrist. Even the guy at Torneau said it was too big. And at Torneau, their attitude is "what can I do to get you into this watch today."
