db1 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 hey, my wrists are also kind of small for a breit, but i love them and wear them! i currently own a a7750 auto Bentley GT (racing edition) and a manual wind Chrono-Matic, used to have a Bentley 48mm which i have to a friend later and as some have already said, which i also agree - these watches are meant to be worn 'big'. wear them well my friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Mike, HERE you have the link for the review I wrote some time ago about my Colt. Morlock, excellent review and excellent choice for your wrist size. As I mentioned before, those colt does look very balanced on your wrist. It looks big, without being big. I agree with you that the SOSF would be pushing it. To answer your question about the 10-20-30....100 on the dial. This is used to measure a minute in 1/100th of a unit. Useful for conversions.

plaifender Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've got very small wrists (especially for my height.. I'm over 6'3" (193cm)). My wrists are 6.25in (15.75cm) and all of my watches are over 40 inches. I agree with most people in that the colt is a good choice. I would highly reccomend the SOSF, but maybe you'd prefer something a little more understated. Here's a couple of pics of my SOSF.. (which by the way will be up for sale in a couple of weeks!) sorry if these pics are played out.. they're my favs of this watch.. hopefully no one's sick of the rubik's cube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Not to bring back on old topic but I never got that Breitling and I regret it. I wear a 45mm Tag Heuer SLR and it wears nicely and it has a rubber strap. What would look better for me, the Bracelet or the Breitling strap? I heard that straps make large watches look smaller but I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Get it on a bracelet order a strap as well. I find that it depends on the watch. My SOSF looks biggest on the bracelet, big on the Pro-Diver and smallest on the Crco strap. My BCE, with Rhodium face looks the same on either. Polished case vs. brushed?

Mercury Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I would say 6.5 or 6.75, I haven't measured and I in the bathroom right now so no measuring tape. . I am looking at either the white or graphite BCE from Eurotimez or PT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at either the white or graphite BCE from Eurotimez or PT. Okay how many square of toilet paper span your wrist? The white dial is going to look bigger. Even bigger so, on the bracelet as the BCE is polished. A leather strap might be a little uncomfortable until it breaks in as it will not want to wrap your wrist. The straps do look and feel smaller as they tapper down from 22mm to 20mm on the BCE. So if you want to go for the smallest possible look and feel, Graphite Dial with strap. Better yet, just get both (Bracelet and Strap) and switch depending on your mood, dress, etc. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Well, if I want to eat and pay for gas, chances are both would seriously hurt that ability. I am debating between the graphite and a few Rolex GMT's. The Rolex's are simpler and easier to wear but the Breitling has that certain something that makes it unique. Thanks for the help Bike Mike.

LOL! Sorry I meant buy the BCE with a bracelet and get a strap, not get both dial color of BCE's. I did not mean to prevent you from eating. I am biased..... BREITLING!

Mercury Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Lol, the Rolex boys say buy Rolex, gotta love it. The only issue is a watch that thick and big might not be worn everyday, I love them and all, but does it go with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez-Neo Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have a skyland and it looks very reasonable on my wrist. At first I thot they were quite big as well, but eventually it grew on me.. A bit of bling bling when heading in the clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is a watch that thick and big might not be worn everyday, I love them and all, but does it go with everything. BCE's go well for dress as well as with a pair of jeans and t-shirt. More dress with a leather or croc strap, then the bracelet, but the Pilot bracelet is pure class IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Last question, there is a BCE for sale on the forums and it is black dialed, are these as accurate as graphite? It is under BCE in the sales forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is under BCE in the sales forum. That I could not tell you. I am the wrong guy for that knowledge. I do not find myself getting tied up in the minor inaccuracies or changes between the versions. If I like the piece I will get it, if I really like it and worry about the accuracy I buy the Gen. Andreww or HackR might be able to better comment.
