Not so big after all

I like most Deepsea owners was wowed by the huge 44mm of pure class hanging off there wrist,but they I saw the Breitling super avenger 48.2mm and I had to have it.I like it some much its not been off my wrist for three months now.when I try on the deepsea its still beautiful but not wow anymore. Don't get me wrong i'm still a Rolex lover (i've got the LV SD SDDS BLUESY AND THE TT DAYTONA) but they all seem so small in comparison,even my beloved Panerai's have been shelved excuse the photo was done on my phone,but you get the idea of size.

I'm sorry, but 48 mm is just too big. Might as well call it a wrist clock. Of course this is just one man's opinion, but a Sub or SD will never be too small for anyone in reality.

The safest place for your watch is on your wrist.

If you have large enough wrists to pull of 48+mm, then the 40mm Rolex models are probably too small for your taste. My wrists are average size, yet I prefer 42mm or the supercase Rolex models. If I started wearing even a 42mm watch on a regular basis, I don't think I could go back to the 40mm old case Rolex sports models.

Would love to see a wristshot Massimo.
So far I haven't met anyone who could pull of a 48mm.
Would be great to see it on you

Although I have a 7.5" wrist I dont think I would be able to wear a 48mm watch, I was going to order the GO Sport Evolution Impact Panaramadatum but am unsure whether I could carry off 46mm.
