I like it a lot. It'll get noticed, that's for sure.

Show her a 55mm Uboat. Then the SA will seem more reasonable!

I would call it a typical movement for a chrono second had sweep. Not quite like you're describing.

I'd think about taking it into an AD to have them look at it. I've heard of more than one Breitling having to be sent in the first year to get regulated.

Wonderful watch. I have the 6.75 just about the same size. My friend has the same watch as you. Its fantastic! Enjoy it. Do you miss the weight when your not wearing it? I can't wear my regular daily watches anymore. I feel weird. :lingsrock:

Yea, when you head to bed it's like taking ankle weights off your legs.

But I love it....so much I'm half thinking of getting another SA....maybe the Black with batons.

I know what you mean.

I wear my Navi World (46mm) and my LeMans (48.7mm ; now at Breitling Service) on a daily basis and when I wear my CE (43.7mm) it feels tiny :shock:

I think the 24mm lug size plays a role
