You'll find pics in the BP section, but the best would to visit an AD and try one on.

I've posted several times about it - the watch is HUGEE!!
A lot of people love it, yes - but similarly a lot of people have sold immediately upon receiving due to it's large (& thick) case size!
Try one on at an AD if possible!

If your wrists are small to medium, I would say no way!
P.S. Mine are 7.5in and I would never wear the watch!
A 45.5 Planet Ocean or Big Pilot is a totally diff story though...

From Pavia, Italy? Welcome

Hi and welcome, wears big and a little top-heavy with 45mm and it´s very thick. Smaller and lighter at 42mm only You have the 42mm Seiko SNZH that can be modified
And it´s beautiful and one of the very best reps ever made.

Lots of more wristshots here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/...st-shot-distance/page5?p=2220499#post-2220499

yes Pavia city near to Milan..

sorry for my english, i don't know some terms..:blush:

thanks for the pics..

my wrist is 6.3 inch ( or 16 cm ) but in the past i wore a rep AP Off Shore with leather strap without problems..

the BB FF is more big than a AP off shore ?

 

[Dan71]

i see only now that there is already other similar 3d ..

oster_oops:

 

[jpohl402]

the BB FF is more big than a AD off shore ?

Yes definitely!

 

[watch.time]

No, not really. I like the size.

 

[Dan71]

Yes definitely!

Sure? See my AP

Maybe is more big the glass so it appears huge ?

 

[jpohl402]

I would not get a BPFF on that wrist of yours!
My wrist is larger, I love 42APs but I wont wear a BPFF!!

 

[jai04]

My wrist is 6.25" and I tried the BP FF in an AD, I can pull off that size but the thickness, damn, way too thick. I can wear the 44mm abyss or ap divcer easily but this thing is a whole different story.

Another pics

Only my wrist is thin, the rest if the arms and body is enought athletic ;-)
It would be a shame give up because this watch is really nice.

 

[Dan71]

A curiosity ..but dress etiquette don't say that the watch must be the opposite of the wrist?
So tiny wrist with big watch..
Otherwise we have tiny wrist +small watch=invisibile arm ...and big wrist+big watch=huge arm :-((
Or not ? %-)

 

[JL123]

Enjoy it if you love it! I got a small wrist like yours and its my favourite watch at the moment!


Some pics for your reference.

Thanks for new pics ..really a big watch ! The gold don't help in this case :-(
I have to consider better my choise..
maybe a black one with black NATO strap it would be less gorgeos ?

I have several AP ROO's and I find the BP FF is more comfortable. I will say since I started converting my ROO's over to the new style straps with 20mm tang buckles they are more comfortable. My wrist is about 7 1/4" so not tiny, but not huge.
Here is my BP FF Blue dial

And my AP ROO silver themes

Maybe is the different shape of the dial that it makes it look great, i think no problem in the summer with t-shirt but in the winter under wristband's jacket could be uncomfortable ..

Thank you for mentioning this! I was digging for more detailed info since I was entertaining the thought of acquiring a BPFF. It's a very beautiful piece, but alas, it will look like a hockey puck on my arm. I have the AP diver and it takes up plenty of real estate without going overboard. Also, my 44mm PAM luminor somehow manages to sit rather well, which is what had me considering the FF in the first place. I have a 6.5/6.75" wrist.
