..of the Breitling disease, that is :D Haven't owned one yet, so far my experience with Swiss watches has been limited to Omega and Tag Heuer but I've always been intrigued by Breitlings for their sheer exuberance. Ironically it is those same traits that have kept me away from the brand thus far- as I always thought them to be too big and loud (at least most of those I have seen). Course, that all changed after finding this place :wink:

After some snooping around the forums, I have discovered that there are in fact some niche models that are more subtle and of the proportions that I prefer. I have skinny-wrist syndrome so we're talking about the sub 40mm stuff here. The Wings series automatics in particular, which are COSC, really peaked my interest and though info on these models is somewhat limited, I figure what better place than this to start my quest to find one :thumbsup:

There are some amazing watches and a wealth of knowledge on this site. Keep up the good work guys, I for one am happy to be here :lingsrock:

Cheers!

AT.

Welcome to the madness - and thank you for bringing sanity to the proceedings with a willingness to stick with quality not size :wink:

Wings is a great piece, there are still a few around - saw some on www.chrono24.com a week or so back and of course there's always eBay - just reassure yourself before you commit.

Enjoy your time here!

If you're not hung up on buying new, have a look at Breitling's 1990s watches. Before this decade, most of Breitling's models were under 40mm, as indeed were everyone else's. The 42mm Navitimer was considered enormous!

Have a look at the model range on this site and you'll find plenty to chose from.

Yep, welcome aboard! I loved the Wings when I first saw it all those years ago. Unfortunately I've been bitten by the "BIG" bug ( :roll: ), but it's still definitely a great looking piece. Good luck with the hunt!
