Congrats ! That Super Avenger looks humongous compared to the GMT !!

Can we see a wrist shot with the GMT and one with the Breitling ?

Congratulations. When you get used to wearing the 40mm the 47mm will seem to large. I have been down that road and 40mm is a good size.

I'm a little over 6'5" and 270. I get up to 280 when I'm eating right and working out more intensely. It wears like a 42 on me versus an average man. Even then it still feels big because it's so thick (TWSS!). Oddly enough, I don't like the big watch trend. My justification is my size. Now if I saw some guy 5'9" wearing it I'd say he looks odd. Lastly, the breitling is a very busy watch and the extra real estate makes reading everything more pleasant. I use my tachymeter every day! Jk

Yes I will shortly. FYI That's not a super avenger. It's a Chronomat 47. It's their flagship model. $11k MSRP = $5500 from AD. Gotta love breitling and their pricing.


Also, THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE WARM WELCOME!!

Yeah, this is a perfect example of proportions. That Breitling looks good on you, whereas it may not on most of us. My brother-in-law is about your size, and he recently got a Breitling that looks great on him, but it looked like a hockey puck on me...and I'm not exactly small at 6'2", but I'm only 175lbs.

They look great. The GMT is a bit smaller, but looks good on you. Enjoy. I picked the same watch up this week too.

Thanks again! I've gotten used to the GMT now. It makes my Breitling feel huge again. I can definitely say if Rolex made a 42mm Sub or GMT I would buy it. Any larger would ruin the rolex look IMO
