The Breitling Watch Source Forums

CometMan, I'll bet you a dollar that once you have an SA for a while you'll look at your BB and still love it, but think... wouldn't it be nice if it was a little bigger. I had a 39mm Tag, but when my BB arrived I knew a small watch was no longer for me. 44mm was cool (and still is) but when I got my SA If I could change my BB the only thing I would do is make it 46mm. But ya know, even if I had the chance to push that magic button I'm not sure if I would because having both 44mm & 48mm works great for me.

i already think exactly like you, sometimes i look to the BB on the wrist and wish it could have 2 or 3mm more.. it would be perfect, dont get that impression when i see it laying on the table or in pictures but on the wrist the dial seems a litle small, in the first week i was showing to friends and they told me "...the watch is simply just beautifull...but tought it was a bit bigger..." lets see what they say about a SA... hate to see a ti superquartz CA M1 go but i just love the detail of the dial of the SA

1 question to the SA owners, can anyone tell me what is the size of the dial of the SA? i noticed it has a thicker bezel but the dial is larger than other caliber13 chronomats evolution, but what is the size of the glass of the SA?

Glass is approx. 35mm.

I already know what they'll say.... holy S__t... what the ^%#$ is that?

If I had your wrist size, I´de already be a happy owner of the white dial SS SA. But with my 6 1/5 wrists I´ll just have to settle on admiring that beauty from a far.

So much depends on what you personally consider to look ridiculous. A lot about wearing large watches is your own attitude and belief in whether you can carry it off or not.

My own stance on large watches is that provided the lugs don't overhang the side of your wrists then it generally looks OK. But that's just my opinion. There are those out there who think that anything larger than a Submariner is somehow part of the big watch "craze", so its all down to personal preference and what you believe looks good on you.

Basically if you think a watch looks too big on you, then it's too big..... for you. Ultimately you have to wear the thing and if you are in any way unsure that looks OK, you won't wear it much, I guarantee.

BUT having said all that, then purely by the numbers, a 7.25" wrist should be able to accomodate an SA just fine.
