The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So I am looking to pull the trigger on a "weekend" watch. I all ready have my everyday (Monday- Thrusday)chronomat evo (that I love) and now I am looking for a weekend watch. I would like it to have a bigger face so I am looking in the ballpark of SA and Navi World. I cant decide!

Any personal opinions?

Don't want to have buyers remorse (which I will anyways) lol
Thanks all!

I really like my SOH on rubber for fri-sun. It is in the size you are looking for, but wears really well for the size

I own both a World and a SA... The World is much more classy. The SA, obnoxious, but attracts attention without a doubt.

Between the SA and Navi I'd go with the SA for a weekend screwing around type watch. You don't wanna get drunk and fall into a pool wearing a Navi

Both very good points. I'd go with the Avenger with a baton dial since I couldn't wear the SA.

Great points everyone!

I believe I could pull the SA off rather good! My hands are obnoxiously big and my wrist is about 7.5".
I do go to the Jersey Shore every wekend in the summers and do spend my weekends in the winters at bars .

The only other thing was, I am getting married in September of 2011 and I wanted to wear it for the wedding. I could just see it now.... My future wife looks at me as she walks down the isle and... this big f'n watch on my wrist lol Think it's too much for a wedding?

lol

Keep the opinions coming!

Definitely not, it'll be perfect. Just think, she get's to wear this bright white brand new $5000 dress while you're in rented black a tux, I think a giant watch would be perfect to even it out a bit.

LOL WELL SAID my friend! Hey I guess I could look at the bright side on this one... It's not like she can stop and say wtf is that ya know lol NICE!

White or Black though? I have a Black Evo already as you can see but I realllllllly like that Black SA too. Or should I go with a white one since I do not have that color? decisions......

Personally I prefer black dials and with a watch as big as the SA I think a white dial makes it look too big. I think a black dial with batons on a black croc or Pro II would be perfect. Plus black will go with your tux

Lets be serious here. Sept. '11 is more than a year away. And if you have the breitling bug as bad as everyone else here, you'll probably be on your 4th breitling by then. Buy for the "now moment" not for the future. And who knows, maybe your fiance will be extra nice and get you a nice ling for a wedding gift. I know I would certainly hint at that. hahaha

I agree with Justin, I cant pull off a SA so I would go with either and Avenger chrono or a Seawolf for a weekend watch. I would go as far as saying the chronomat is more of a weekend watch than the navi world.

I understand that the SA tends to stay traditional from year to year but do you think they will be making any changes over the next year?

Isn't it like their best selling model? I doubt they would make too many changes to it, how cool would an in-house movement be though . I'd actually buy one for my small wrists.

The SA range gets minor tweaks pretty much every year - new dial combos, minor changes, etc. I can't see anything radical happening all the time that it's a big seller (Chronomat / Chronomat Evo always used to be the bigeest seller).

I've said it before, but maybe worth repeating, I would be surprised if Breitling put an in house movement in the Aeromarine range for a while as that is the 'value' range for the brand.

Yeah, I wasn't saying that I thought they would, just that it would be cool if they did. I would like to see a non-chrono in-house movement though.
