Hi All!

I am a new Airwolf Raven Owner.

I love the look of the watch so far but my main issue is I cannot help thinking its too small at 43.5mm.

My wrist size is 7.5 inches or 19.5cm.

Would the Super Avenger on a rubber Diver pro or Aqua Racer Strap be too big for me as I am thinking of returning the Airwolf?

Uploaded are some (bad) pics of my new Airwolf Raven.

Cheers in advance and thanks for the forum I have found it very helpful!

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing but any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing!

Congrats on the new watch, and welcome to Breitlingsource!! There is obviously a big difference as far as the size of your Airwolf and the Super Avenger. I can tell you that there are a lot of people here that own a SA with a wrist size of 7.5" or smaller, so it can be pulled off, but I would suggest that you go try them on at your local dealer. Also keep in mind that a white dial will look larger than the black or blue, so you may want to go with a darker dial. :lingsrock:

Thanks for the advice, I certainly noticed the white looking larger.

I have tried the avenger with the yellow face and size wise it felt right, AD have no stock of SAs so no can try :(

Right now my two favorite configurations are:

Super Avenger, Black Face, Black / White subdials, Arabic Numerals, Diver Pro / Pro II

or

Avenger Skyland, Black Face, Black Dials, Arabic Numerals, Aqua Racer / Pro II

Attached are pics of my fancies, apologies to the original posters, I have just been saving images during my quest so cannot give credit where its due for photos.

It doesn't look too small on your wrist, just the perfect size IMHO.

The Airwolf fits you well, but the SA IMO will look like a dinner plate on you. Maybe you should consider the Avenger. At the end of the day, it is what you feel ok with ! :D

Went to the AD today and took the plunge. Ordered a Avenger with Black face, black subdials, pro II and Ocean Racer.

Fingers crossed I won't be waiting long. I may consider getting the airwolf again but for my first ling it just didn't have that "keeper" feel to it.

Thanks for the advice guys.
