Hello all,

I was never in to modern Breitling, bit to big and loud for my taste but the navitimer is a classic and it realy starting to grow on me the last months so i decided the navitimer 01 will be my next watch purchase.

I'm looking at the new 2018 model 43mm (AB0121211B1X1 T) but i wonder how big it wears? I have '7inch wrists and can wear explorer 2 (42mm), speedmaster (42mm) black bay (41mm) without issues. My biggest watch is the Bathyscape (43mm) and although i like it and it looks ok i would liked it a lot more if it was a bit smaller.

There is also a new 41mm navitimer (A13324121B1X1) which looks to be the perfect size for me but it doesnt have the in house b01 movement.

No AD close by so i cannot try the 2 models. I realy prefer one with the b01 movement ofcourse but the navitimer is a busy watch so i wonder if 43mm wouldnt be to much?
