The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Just a quick thought... I find the 47mm GMT a little large for that style of watch, which actually surprised me since I was very excited when I heard about its release. I love large watches, and have a couple of SA's, Bentley 6.75, several chronomats, PO 9300 as well as both the SS and Ti versions of 8500, etc. My wrist is 7.5 and I have no problem carrying a large watch. I find the SA is the best for that size... it seems to fit the wrist and somehow be amazingly comfortable. The 6.75 is also a great-wearing watch, especially on a strap, but it's a nice comfy, great-looking watch. To me the 47mm Chronomat just sits high and wide, and something about that shape, bezel, pushers, etc, at least to my eyes, doesn't look or wear as well on my wrist. I loved the watch but ended up letting it go.

The PO 9300 is my next least-comfy watch. Without microadjustments, it's tough to get a good balanced fit. I've had better luck using an extra half-link, but it's a pain when the weather changes. It's comfy on the awesome Omega deployant, but not as good of a daily wearing watch on bracelet.

Chronomats are superb, size and comfort-wise, but this is no secret

Anyway, just had a few minutes and thought I'd spit out a few thoughts. Hope that helps!

Cheers

Thank you for the info. I never even thought to think about the PO having micro adjustment, I honestly just assumed it had it. I do remember the GMT sitting higher than I expected it to. Granted the movement has a lot of parts that have to be crammed into the case. The more I think about it the more I think I am leaning towards the 6.75. I do love the PO but I am not to sure I could live with the smaller size of it especially now knowing there is no micro adjustment. The GMT is nice but the more I look at it everyone here is right (as always) it does look similar to the SA.

Would you mind posting a pic or two of your 6.75 on so I know what it will look like as I also have a 7.5 in wrist?

Thanks again for letting me know about the small nuances of each one. It is much appreciated.

Thank you for all of the feedback. I have decided on the 6.75 with the vertical motiff royal ebony dial on the rubber strap with deployment. Hopefully in about a month or maybe a bit longer I will have it on my wrist and I will sure post some pics. Thanks for the feedback as always.

Go with the Chronomat!
