importr Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Will they ever make it? The 46mm is waaay too big for me, and possibly most people. So why didnt they make the smaller one to start with?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Have you actually tried the larger Heritage? It wears a lot smaller than the specs would suggest, probably due to the downswept lugs that hug your arm rather than sit wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 46mm is across the case isnt it? Thats like....a BR01! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjalg Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I dont think there is a market for small watches anymore, if people want to cash out on a breitling they want a big one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppen Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 try the heritage 46mm, i was looking in the window of an AD and had to try it on as its been said, this really wears smaller than 46, go ahead and try it, if you decide to buy, get it on the ocean racer strap.

jeff g Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The Heritage is the best fitting watch I own. The case style with the down turned lugs fits my 6.5'' wrist better than any of my Pams. The case is much thinner than most large watches and feels really good on the wrist. Try it, you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 OK, thanks for the comments Am i right in thinking that the main Visual difference between the 46mm ETA powered SOH and the 46mm Asian is: The ETA datefont is a bit bolder??

fakemaster Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 It does seem big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algreen345 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I tried the 46mm on at an AD in Singapore and it is huge. I have a 7" wrist and already find the the Chopard GTXL large, which is only 44mm. The small Heritage is 38mm and to me it feels much more wearable on a regular basis.

longshot Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 i bought the rep in brown/bronze and even with a much nicer softer leather strap it was too big for my 7" wrist. part of the problem was that the deployment is so long that there was almost no curve to the strap. it sat very square on my wrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 good question and I think it is just the big watch trend determines what will be made, which IMO is coming to an end. Well perhaps not an end but a slow down. I know I was totally into the larger watches (50+) but it just got old and I started wanting something around 40. I would guess that I'm not alone and perhaps we will see a movement towards 38-40 again. Perhaps we will see it in a while..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 OK don't listen to me. The crappy rep strap with the crappy rep deployment does fit like [censored]. Get a gen strap, for the Heritage. and the watch will fit better than any Pam 44mm on a smaller wrist. A leather 24 mm Pam style strap with buckle on the Heritage, or the OR or PD rubber strap with buckle or deployment fits a smaller wrist PERFECTLY. But don't believe me. Buy a 40mm or 42mm, by 16mm thick chrono hockey puck instead. Dude. dude, it's just opinion. here is the big heritage rep on my 7" wrist. and i tried it on pam straps also. i also own a gen seawolf with the gen rubber strap, and you know what? the gen blue breitling rubber strap is too long and not comfortable on me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
