Big is beautiful

Since getting my Deepsea and more recently my huge Breitling Areomarine I can't see to get on with my smaller watches anymore namely my Sub and Daytona. Once you've gone BIG you don't go back.

Very nice Breitling you have but for me I do not think any other watch is going to do!!!

Which are you referring to as big? The B**bs or the watch?

Your Breitling looks great, I particularly like the bezel.

My next watch is probably going to be something similar, the Breitling Skyracer

LOL! Yeah, that's taking it a bit too far. There's a line that should not be crossed... unless of course you're a rapper and then maybe you can pull it off.

Personally, I like variety. I've got a 34mm AK and a 45mm Ebel. I don't think I'll go past 46mm, though. My wrists aren't that big.

You're right. I have trouble coming to terms with 40mm pieces now

Ideally for me 43mm is minimum. I do have 48mm like the Breitling you posted. But it's still kind of big and limited to a certain audience.
