The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum and also new to watch collecting, so I need some input on what you guys think about this new purchase I've made. It's a Superocean Heritage 46mm that I got at an AD for USDxxxx BNIB. I've been debating on whether it's too big for my wrist or not, but unfortunately I think the AD has a no-exchange, non refundable policy, so I could be stuck with it. Even so, it's a beautiful watch and I definitely do not mind keeping it, but just out of curiousity, I'd like for all you watch experts, connoisseurs or even hobbyists to take a look at this newly acquired watch on my wrist, and please tell me your honest opinion on the sizing. Is it too big, small, or a decent size for me? Appreciate all the advice I can get.

Btw, I was too excited about my new watch that I had forgotten to put on any pants before taking pics. Please excuse me for the explicit leg shots, try to focus on the watch...And I doubt that would be a hard thing to do...

It's not as bad as I've seen in some posts on here, and give it some time and you'll get used to it. Congrats on the purchase and wear it in good health.

As a former owner of the SOH46 I will say not at all! That watch wears so well and close to the wrist it is a very easy large watch to wear with smaller wrists. Congrats on the new purchase and wear it well

it looks good, congrats and enjoy it!

A little big, but for the present style of watch-wearing, it works. Really nice color combo, too. Welcome to the site.

Looks good to me bro, wear it in good health......Great dial color choice by the way, its my favorite out of them all.

That is a great watch, and a good size on you. Ive been debating that watch for a while now. You may have convinced me.

I too have small wrists but soh46 fits large but fits well and looks great in my opinion. Just wear it and you too will find it a great watch and in no time will not even think about the size.

imho. as long as the lugs (where the bracelet attaches) dont stick out/over your wrist your all good.

Looks great. Loving my bronze SOH 46!

Too big? Are you kidding!? The watch looks perfect on your wrist. Wear it in good health and enjoy it. Remember, it is important how do you feel about the watch and not how others perceive it. Welcome to the forum!

Looks perfect to me! After a day or two you'll get used to it and never think about it again!

Really appreciate all the positive responses! Thank you very much for all the compliments on the watch too. It is what I would call the quintessential complement to a man. Only reason I had doubt was because there's the newly released Super Ocean Hertiage 42mm..

Looks great. I love the SOH, definitely a piece I would highly consider.
