Oh yeah. Sea Wolfs (wolves?). Within the world of vintage watches it's a particular favorite of mine. I think the Sea Wolf well deserves to be a sought after collectible watch. A vintage diver with distinct styling all its own. A real charmer, the Sea Wolf is even better looking in person even though it isn't a particularly large watch. This Sea Wolf with this particular strap sits on the wrist particularly well and is comfortable and enjoyable to wear. I had acquired my Sea Wolf just before joining the Forum. An early one, possibly first year of production or at least mid-1950s with early characteristics which include no hacking feature, no date feature, and solid undivided hands. Was the first new acquisition I could show off here when it returned from a thorough going-through by my watch maker. It's one of the watches on hand here that is in the group esteemed for being "accurate." It'll run for a week and the minute hand remains "up to the minute" which is "good enough for the girls I go with." I don't concern myself much with what the second hands do in a week's time. It's been very dependable since about this time of year 2014.
A white-dialed variant of a Sea Wolf is on my "want" list as is an original correct bracelet, even though I don't really care for bracelets.

(I am of the opinion that the Sea Wolf with the "gold-plated" bezel mentioned within the link is only a regular Sea Wolf with brass bezel which lost its original plating and was subsequently polished.)
I’ve got one in the project drawer. It’s seems to run so hopefully just a service, a polish of the crystal, and some work to get the frozen bezel turning again.

Nice! I'm not sure a polish will bring that crystal back. Looks like its attractive under there though.
