The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I think your overall build is important to consider too. You're not a massive guy so I would say that watch is about as big as you can go.

Wear whatever you feel comfortable with, I have a 7" wrist pretty small and I have 3 super avengers at 48mm I love the size of them after wearing those, everything else feels small to me now.

I think it looks great. I have a 6.5" wrist and love large face watches!

If you like it, that's all that matters!

I know bigger is the flavor right now. I think with your frame you could go slightly bigger, but I would proceed with caution. As Ive gotten older my taste has gotten smaller. Ive gone from a 44mm to 40mm as my daily wear. Im a smaller guy at 5'9 so a 44mm on you is like a 42mm on me from what I could tell from the pictures.

Don't know if he's right but my jeweler told me that small is becoming fashionable again.

i dont care what the fasion is, ill never wear a 40mm on my 8" wrist.... lol. i just hope they dont stop making bigger sizes available

I also have a Fish, and you have 6.5 inch wrist which is small but the Fish looks fine on your wrist so I think you have quite a flat but maybe thin wrist which means you're wrists are like a normal 7-7.25 wrist, so I reckon you can easily wear up to 46mm, including Seawolf, Skyland and Omega PO 8500. I have 7.25 wrist and prefer the 45mm PO to the 42, and DSSD to the sub, which at 40mm, feels like a dress watch to me. Im even looking at a 47mm PAM submersible.

This is unlikely because the market is driven by China and India and new money who want to show off their new wealth. Also with The only way is Essex and ostentatious glamorous showing off being really in since the recession, ironically, I can't see small coming back in for a while, at least not for the under 40s.

Hey Beyondman, why do you ask, what watches were you thinking of getting?

A Few Breitlings.

That's a good match IMO. If you want a little more (positive) attention, a 45mm would work too although it would be close to too large.

Now if you want people eyes to FIXATE on your wrist, the SuperAvenger would work. However, people would probably look at it as a overly large watch on some dude and so it wouldn't be positive. My wrist are about your size and when I tried the SA on, the watch head was actually longer than the top length of my wrist and there were literally gaps because of it...not confortable for daily wear even as much as I love that watch!!

The size looks perfect to me but obviously only you can decide that.

Looks good to me. I too have a 6.5 wrist and am contemplating the Navi World at 46mm. My AD still doesn't have one in for me to try on, but I'm fearful it will look too big...

Each to their own, but I'm pretty sure the world will be too big for a 6.5" wrist, I have about a 6.75" and it was huge on me....
