Aerospace 42mm wear big? or small?

[votoms]

I am heading to the AD tomorrow to look at some watches. I have a few grand extra after all the xmas shopping. My question, does the 42mm or 43mm wear big or small? My daily is a DJII and it wears bigger than its 41mm would lead you to believe. I am used to wearing larger watches, IE Heritage 46, PAM's etc.

I have a 7.25" wrist. Just wondering what you guys think.

Thanks

The 42mm Aerospace wears pretty small due to being so thin.

I have a small wrist and it looks just right.

Also the lugs are really short. The lug to lug length is comparable to a 40mm Rolex Sub/GMT. It's extremely comfortable regardless of how it wears.

I had mine on the Ti bracelet for a while, and have since put it on a NATO, and I've found that it wears smaller than you'd think it would. How it's shaped, and the fact that it's so light makes it feel a lot smaller than the DJII.

I think it wears just right and I have a small wrist.

Wearing it today actually.

I love Breitlings, they seem to all wear big. I have a big wrist.

I have the 42 and tried on the new 43 (Evo) in Vegas last week. I have a 7.25" wrist and have really enjoyed my 42mm version but after seeing the 43, I like it better and even my wife thought it looked better on me. I never saw the 42 as small before trying on the 43, so in reality, I guess it could go either way but with both available, a 43 EVO may be in my future.

I have an older Ti Aerospace that I bought pre-owned up when my Daytona was in for service. It has a big, legible dial, but is extremely thin and comfortable to wear. Compared to my other stainless or gold watches, my wrist wants to float when I have it on. The only gripe I have about it are the Brietling-standard raised quater-hour markers on the bezel. They seem to snag on knit jacket and sweater cuffs and it is a bit annoying. Next to the Aerospace, my thinnest-wearing watch is the Daytona. I don't wear it much in the evening because the dial and hands have such poor readability compared to the Aerospace, GMT and especially, the Moonwatch.

There are a lot of people who hate quartz watches, but they have a solid place in my rotation.

I have a small wrist as we'll. The Evo is great and comfortable. I can't stop wearing it. by the way, the titanium with the blue dial is amazing.
