The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi All
Something I've noticed on other forums are comments like fullsize Breitlings eg SA, Bentley, etc look as if the watch is wearing you if you are a smaller build (like me) my wrist is 7 inches. I've tried on all the 48 mm models and I can't see a problem. Just wondered how others feel about this (maybe it's Ling envy)

Different strokes for different folks I guess. My buddy has a smaller wrist and though the AS works better for him, he's not opposed to the SA hanging off the edges of his wrist.

Design wise I love some of the 'under 45mm' Breitlings but now that I have a SA... I can't go too much smaller

all up to you...chrono evolutions are nice, and as mario said..even the AS are nice...somewhere around 45 is good to have for a smaller wrist, and everyday use.

Regards

I have a small wrist, but really have no issues with size unless the lugs hang off the edge of my wrist. The lugs on the Skyland go just to the edge.

My wrist is 7,5 inches and I don't have a problem with the larger Breitlings at all.

7.5 here and almost never take off my SA

Same here. If I found something where the lugs protrude further than the edges of my wrist them that'd be too big, but everything I have so far fits just fine.

This is interesting as my wrist is just under the 7.5" and i might have to go and re-try the SA I first thought it was MASSIVE on me but I might have been a bit hasty....
That throws a spanner in the works for choice's of Ling's mmm a choice of 3 now maybe..

The SA does that to you. First time I tried it was really HUGE and I thought I could never match the size. Second time I tried it I let 10-15 minutes pass with the SA on and suddenly there it was...

Not to mention after wearing it for a very long time putting on ANYTHING less just feels wrong.

.................7.5 inch wrist here as well. Like Mario said I have a very hard time as well wearing anything but my super avenger. Once you are used to the size its hard going back....

Get the SA and wear it with pride. You will not be sorry and will get used to it in a day or two and will not seem to big and you will be happy that you have the full Ling!!!

Same with me, although after trying it on once a number of years ago I didn't try it again for ages, and consequently spent a number of years thinking it was way too big. However when I finally got round to trying it again, it just felt right.... so much so that I now feel that anything below 46mm doesn't look right on my wrist. Heck I even feel like my Steelfish is a little on the small side! (But I still love it).

My wrist is probably around 6.75 and I wear the SOH which is 46mm and don't think twice about it. It felt big at first, but got used to it quickly.

Hi All
