If you were wondering if the cases of the B&R Instruments are too big or not enough, try this:

Actually gave it a try today, got strange looks when I printed it out though :lol:

Forgot to mension, this is the BR-S, the new ceramic models which are smaller than say, the BR-01 models.

I found the BR-S, way to small and am a little upset that they dont make a BR-02 in the ceramic case. I have the BR-02 which is 42-43mm and it fits perfect for my wrist (which are used to the 43mm Breitlings) I also tried on the BR-01 and holy moly is it big on the wrist. It seems even bigger because of the square shape. Dont know if I could pull that one off. If memory serves me, the dimension of the BR-01 was the same width of my wrist. I am going to the AD to take my Phantom in for servicing on Sat, so I will try many more on!!!

Do they have this for the 46mm?

Wouldn't it be great if a few more watch manufactures did this too.

I know there's no substitute for actually trying a watch on, but if you live a long way from an AD at least one of these cut-outs will give you an idea of whether it's WORTH a trip to the AD in the first place.

Another handy thing that IWC do is print their watches life-size in the catalogue. While the "larger than life" pictures in the Breitling catalogue look great, they don't really give an idea of how they compare to real world pieces you might own.

I never thought about it like that, good thinking Driver8!

It is clever, however it may keep someone from coming into the store and purchasing something else if they don't like their original reason.

Personally, I think it's great! And I'm glad they put the dotted lines in, we need all the help we can get 8)
