Mercury Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I know these watches are quite large compared to other brands but is there a Bretling that wears small and would look good a smaller wrist? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 is there a Bretling that wears small and would look good a smaller wrist? No. Or maybe Navitimer with a strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica2 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Funny, I asked a similar question a couple of months ago. I have a 6.5-7 inch wrist, and didn't like big watches at all. Since then, I've changed my mind a bit, and got the SOSF. It's a bit thick, but stunning, and overall blends well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The navitimer isn't overly huge at 42mm. The SOSF doesn't wear that big either. What size is your wrist? Mine is about 6.75" and I can wear anything short of a Super Avenger or large Bentley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could possibly even wear a Bentley, but I'd rather not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialvat Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Maybe a colt ? That would wear small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Maybe a colt ? That would wear small Probably, but the point of Breitlings is not to wear small. I'd say get an over-sized one and wear it big. Nut up, as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think you should try the Super Avenger. Then anything else you wear will seem small. I have a 7 1/2 in wrist and thought that anything over 42mm was to big. The biggest watch I had when I got here was a 42mm. Now I feel anything under 45mm Is small. I just happen to like the look and feel of a big watch; although I dont have big wrists. Like the others have said, give the Nav a try, good luck Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialvat Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 My tiny 6" wrists manage to support my evo, only just although it is a poor angle pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) The navitimer isn't overly huge at 42mm. The SOSF doesn't wear that big either. What size is your wrist? Mine is about 6.75" and I can wear anything short of a Super Avenger or large Bentley. About 6in. I have a PO that wears well at 42.5 but it doesn't have nearly the same thickness as a SOSF. Probably, but the point of Breitlings is not to wear small. I'd say get an over-sized one and wear it big. Nut up, as they say. Well said. I guess I will be waiting for one to go on sale from a member. Edited September 7, 2009 by Mercury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulimblim Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi, my SOH on rubber band looks perfect on my 6,5 wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 My Colt Automatic wears small. Seems like the only comes with blue dial. It's an older Breitling (1990 vintage), but it's pretty nice. FYI, I am selling mine right now on the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkitesurf Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The genuine Topgun is quite small and there are smaller montbrilliants 40. I actually had one on my wrist the weekend and thought is was to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well I tried on a Chronomat Evo and SOSF and it's large but it works. Now I have to decide between a Tag Heuer Link and the Breitlings. Thanks for the help on the size issue everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmynugent Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 check out the bentley gt their 44mm but the lugs slant downwards wears almost like a 42mm watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 My $0.02, if the watch lugs hang over your wrist to where the bracelet drops say 90 degrees or less from the case back, the piece is too big for you. A bracelet should wrap around your wrist, not hang from the lugs just to have the clasp touch the underside of the wrist to hold the watch on. The watch should looked balanced on your wrist. Even a 42mm watch can look big if it is fitted to someone with a proprotionatly sized wrist. If you don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Great advice/observation Bike Mike. If you are looking for a Breitling for small wrists: Navitimer on leather SuperOcean Heritage 38mm (not repped) Colt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
