Hey Guys..Currently I own a Chrono Evolution and love it...I have tried on the SA 3-4 times and even thought I love the way the watch looks and how eye catching it is....I almost wonder if it's too big? I wear a suit to work everyday and wonder if this is too much watch for my 9-5? Am I being too conservative? When do you all wear yours? thanks!!

I would have to say that the SA does not wear as big as it looks.Still do not wear it to work everyday for the fear of the first scratch(only received it on the 7TH). Once I get over the fear it will be an everyday wear.That being said it hardly ever leaves my wrist on weekends.

The SA is big, but if your wrist and your wardrobe supports it, there is no reason you shouldn't wear it every day... in fact that is bound to happen ;)

Not a great work day watch if you have a conservative office like I do. I wear the Skyland quite often and it still can distract others with its size and beauty. Maybe you could tone it down a little with a classy leather strap on a deployment? My honest opinion is that the SA is a big and beautiful watch that get's looks, so if you want that type of attention at work go for it. In some companies a distraction like that is frowned upon by the bosses who wear 38mm Rolex's.

Wear it if you are not worried about any of the things I have mentioned above and then get used to all the people coming up to you to find out about your raise or new pay program you must have gotten to afford this shinning new monstrosity of a watch. Then you can just tell them, yeah it's the Super Avenger Baby! 8) 8)

Take Care.

I wear it to work everyday... I dont care what others think....
In fact I am wearing it now... And I am at work (in front of my laptop at BREITLING SOURCE 8) )
It doesnt bother me at all; I really got used to it!!!

How big is your wrist? Mine is ~7.75" and its comfortable. If your wrist is ~ 6.5", it might be kinda big...

I work on boats and docks, drive a jeep wrangler, and am a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy from Mississippi...I wear my SA from the moment I get out of the shower, to the moment I get into bed...all day everyday, I give it hell, ma friend...I do so because I absolutely love my Breitling, and I wouldn't have it any other way...I've had it a few months now, and I got my first scratch on it, reaching into my mother's jewel safe, then had it buffed out last weekend...buy the watch and enjoy the hell out of it :thumbsup:
