I think Breitling nailed it with the "story" and look of this piece. The blue just pops!

I wasnt going for bling....and that said, I'm thinking I went too big with the 46 while the 42 prob would have been a better fit.

Does it look too big or is that how it was designed to be worn back in the day?

Perhaps I need to find a bigger wrist RF member with a 42! If you know anyone...i have the complete set I bought here locally in Dallas from Bachendorfs.

It is all personal preference and what is comfortable to you. Good looking watch.

I'd need to see more pics, different angles, from different distances. In that pic it looks a little big, but not too big by any means. Beautiful watch by the way.

It is a big watch and will wear big. You bought it because you liked it. Stop worrying and keep on wearing.
I found that even though they are 46mm, they are still a reasonable 13mm high, so they don't look ridiculous. It is when you get to 18mm+ in height, or 50mm+ in diameter, that things get out of hand.

Looks fine; can you lift your arm? If yes than it works. ;)

nc42acc · 10 February 2015, 09:41 AM

Sam it is definitely too big. I will PM my address so you can send it to me since I have large wrists.

Looks great to me, no issues.

Looks good, I prefer the 46.

Nice looking watch! In terms of size, it's up to you.

Gregg236 · 8 March 2015, 02:08 PM

Very very sharp

ronin_ph · 8 March 2015, 05:47 PM

I have the same issue. I bought mine this past December and it's definitely a huge watch and definitely looks bling. My wrist is 7.5inches (dunno if that's small or big), but I find myself not wearing it that often. I'm mostly wearing my 40-41's.

In truth, am considering selling it.

Would you be so kind to let us know your wrist size? (Mine is 6.75" and thinking of getting a 46 mm SOHC myself...) Thx

Don't worry about it. If you're comfortable with it, it's fine. I don't have huge wrists, but I wear a Seawolf occasionally. It never concerns me if someone thinks it looks too big. I like it and despite it's size I find it quite comfortable.

Just enjoy your Breitling. It's a great looking piece!

dysondiver · 15 March 2015, 03:56 AM

i like the look
