I'm looking to buy a Breitling in the next week or so and have decided on an aeromarine piece.

I prefer the Super Avenger because of the raised silver logo (as opposed to the white painted wings) and also the black/silver sub number combo.
However, I have only 7" wrists and am worried that it might wear to big on me.

So I have been looking into a standard avenger.

Anyone with either of these watches (even the older skyland avengers), would you care to post some wrist shots to help me decide as it's a 1hour+ drive to an AD that will probably have both in stock for me to try on.

See the following this is the model I have and it is gorgeous. The big format is awesome and makes a statement. But you have to decide based on your own wrist. Trust me you will know the minute you try it on. All I asked for was a blue face Breitling and the first one I tried was an SA decision over. Two months and instill cannot stop starring at the damn thing!!!

I have a 7.5" wrist. The SA doesn't wear as big as some of the other watches I own. granted my others are 53mm vs the 48mm of the SA. Like Etodd31856 says it really is personal preference of how you want it to look, feel, and sit on the wrist. Whatever choice you make, make sure it is yours and you are happy with the decision. In the end it is your watch and your wrist.
