Personally I think it looks strong, I've got very small wrists at 6 inches and seem to love the 44MM range. Great looking Breitling, wear it in good health!

Honestly it looks great. Congratulations man on a great piece. Now I want one. Thanks a lot. You just have probably sparked a marital "discussion" when my wife reviews the bank statments next month.

As said before, wear it in good health.

Personally, I think it is ok. I have read articles suggesting 3/4 to 7/8 watch size to wrist width but I don't think it matters really. As long As it's comfortable and does not feel like a dead weight, then you should be fine. Wear what You choose. . You have control.

If that was me, I'd be proud and happy. Enjoy it!

I think it looks much too big, since you ask, BUT also that my view is utterly irrelevant if you like that look and feel.

Difficult to tell from the photo but if the lugs overhang your wrist then it is, in my opinion, too big. If they don't then it comes down to your personal comfort level with it.

To be honest it does look a bit large for your wrist.

Based on the photo, it would appear a little big. Per Roff, for me personally it's all about whether the lugs overhang the wrist or not. But, as others have stated, I'm not the one wearing it. If you're happy, then perfect! Striking piece, it looks great on leather.
