44 doesnt seem big enough but....

Tried on the navitimer chron-matic today. Its didnt feel big enough but it is the only style Breitling I like. I am still debating. It didnt feel that much bigger than my rolex.

Does anyone have one that feels different?

I am suprised. 44 is a big watch by anyones standards and the Chronomat is the second largest Navitimer in the range except for the "World" (46).

A Rolex GMT II is only 40mm so there is a huge difference there. My B-1 at 43mm makes my Rolex Sub feel like a childrens toy. No way I would need a bigger watch.

Could be the band/bracelet? If you have a leather band on the Chrono you may find it "feels" smaller than a watch with a metal band?

Good luck hope you find a watch that suits . .

Hi ,

The chrono-matic is 44 mm yet when i placed it on my wrist at the time of buying it i thought it was small due to it being in a strap, on a bracelet it feels and looks great. Compared to my Hercules at 44.8 its small but its the same as my Seawolf and in my opinion a great fit.

Try one on with bracelet im sure you will notice the difference.

thanks.
I tried on again and it feels big(in a nice way) I think I was expecting a "plate" on my wrist prior to trying. It will be my first breitling, and I have found these forums to be extremly helpful.

BTW- It does feel waaaay bigger with bracelet. I tried the gold on for kicks and that actually feels big with strap. I guess the decadence of gold does that.

peace
