The Breitling Watch Source Forums

does it look good or its to big for my wrist?
i would like to hear some comments...
thank you!

I think it looks good, as long as you are comfortable with it. I found the SA a bit too chunky on my wrist and decided to stick with a Motors T, but looks-wise it is fine to me. My wrist is 6 3/4"

Looks good to me. One of the reasons I like my SA is because it is a big watch but is very comfortable to wear. As long as you like the watch and feel comfortable with it I'd say wear it proudly!

Looks fine to me too, but as Admin rightly said it has to look good to YOU. As long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters.

Dont know if its your first breitling, but mine felt big to me at first (only a Headwind) - it's probably just a case of getting used to it - I moved to a 6.75 and dont notice the difference.....and I've got 7" wrists too.......enjoy it ....it looks Bang on!

You seem to have fairly beefy forearms which I think makes a difference, so it seems in proportion. Big yes, but ok. At the end of day though you are the one that has to wear it - it does not matter what anyone else thinks

i really like it in every sec its on my wrist!!
after long search for the right breitling( i had almost every breitling model)i think i found what i looked for!!!
thats a hell of a watch!!!

Looks good on your wrist. I have almost 8" wrists and couldn't wear the SA more than couple hours. It started to get uncomfortable with the SS strap. You have the rubber strap so that might help. Also, i see you have the black dial which makes it look not as large as the white dial counter part. I had the white dial which made the watch look bigger on my wrist. So end of the day i ended up trading mine. Wear yours in good health. Started to miss mine again..

cheers,

Looking good! I am a big fan of the Diver Pro as well. I like the silver subdials as well. The whole thing looks great.
Cheers,
Carl

i tried it on leather but thats make the watch bigger.on rubber it looks good but for some reason it smells bad even when i dont touch water.i never tried it on bracelet..i will some day when i will get use to the size.
regards.

One thing I have noticed: look at the watch on yourself in the mirror. If you are used to looking at a smaller watch on your wrist, you will think that any watch that is larger is too big. But looking at yourself in the mirror while wearing the watch will give you a whole new perspective on size.

Personally, from your pictures I think it looks great!

Very true.

That's why I often take pics of my watches of my watches from a little further away held in front of my chest. It kind of gives you more of a "real world" view instead of just stuck out on your wrist. For example -

First of all congratulations on your new watch, wear it well and enjoy it! Your watch looks just fine, it doesn't look big at all and basically fits good on your wrist with the rubber strap. Did you try it with the bracelet?
