Hi,

the Chrono Cockpit/Galactic (old/new model, different bezel) should be good matches, as they're both < 40mm diameter.
Really, really nice for you would be the Navitimer Montbrillant (current model). :bow:
It's a little more expensive, but a little patience might pay out as this is
a) probably not Breitling most best selling piece (please correct me if I'm wrong) and
b) it may become discontinued once the Montbrillant 01 non-limited is out.
It's a full blown navitimer, very nice, very elegant and just a little smaller than usual - so YOU can wear it well.

Regards!

Hey guys i almost bought the Airwolf Raven today but 1 thing i did not like is the date was in French (Mon-Sun), the guy could not figure out a way to change it to English.

Do these come in different languages or is there a way to change it when you set it up?

Hey anez, out of those pictures you posted, I think the Aerospace or the SOII suite your wrist size the best. The Airwolf looks WAY too big IMO (plus I personally hate the rubber bezel as I think it makes the whole watch look really cheap..... which it most definitely isn't! Apologies to all you Raven owners out there - JMO).

As Roff said, I's also recommend checking out the standard Monty if you like the Navi look. I think that would fit you just fine (for a price).

Yes. Check out the Ton/L function after you RTFM. :poke:

I love the Airwolf Raven, and this thread has reminded me how much I want one. But I do think it looks big for you. And good luck to you, there are many many stunning watches at 40mm or less that will suit you perfectly. I like Roff's Montbrillant suggestion.

Have ruled out the Airwolf and the Montbrillant Olympus (alas, much as I love it, it's a little too pricey for me right now especially as I have since picked up a lovely LaCroix MP moonphase) but am still considering the Aerospace, Cockpit and the regular Navi Montbrilliant as my next Ling... Think it'll be a while before I'm in a position to make a purchase, though!

Thanks to all for their helpful suggestions. :)

:!: Last thing I need at the moment is more temptation! It looks great on you by the way, congrats.

I'm going overseas again in February so tax-free possibilities may have to be examined...

Gigantor-- that looks amazing, congrats and enjoy. This is how it looks when you have the wrist size to pull it off! :lol:

Is that the photobucket website I spy in the background? :D

I'll be honest, i never the raven a second glance, but it played with one for a few minutes the other day, and i was really impressed with it, its a real niece piece.
