Planning on buying a Superocean Heritage 46. Love the watch.
Wrist is about 7". Am I pushing my luck with a watch this big? For some odd reason the 42 mm just seems a bit small. I've read from a few forums that these watches tend to wear smaller than their size.
Should I downsize to a 44" with chronographe (although that one may be thicker and not wear quite as comfortable)?
Would appreciated advice from someone with about a 7" wrist who owns one already.
Many thanks.

I have a 7 in. wrist and have looked at/tried on both the SOH 46 and 42mm pieces. The 46mm is too large for me, lugs are quite long too if I remember correctly, 42mm is much better overall size. The watch is on the thinner side for Breitling so that helps with the fit.

The 44mm SOH chronograph is a nice looking piece, good compromise size between the 46 and 42 SOH, but it is a thick case at over 16mm I believe.

Just have to try them on to be sure.

The SOH 46 should be no problem for a 7" wrist. I was able to wear it on my 6&/2" wrist. Flat case back and downward sloping lugs. The lugs did not extend over the edges of my wrist.
