Just wondering if overall people think the 43mm Breitling Avenger case size is too big. From what I know, most people consider anything over 41mm to be "oversized"

Most of my divers and chronographs are 43mm my smallest being a 41mm datejust..
and my wrist isn’t exactly huge. Just under 7 or right at it and 42 is def. not oversized. 46 and over is pushing it for me personally...
lug to lug is the measurement I mostly consider

I am a Breitling addict. My watch collection ranges in size from 42 to the Super Avenger at 48mm. My favorite size is 44mm on my 6.75" size wrist.

The Pluton was my first Breitling that I purchased in 1990. I bought my first Breitling Rep in 2011.

Very hard to find in good condition. Hopefully you still have it in your collection.
I have had Breitling refurbish the Pluton twice over the years. It comes back looking new.
Here’s my Avenger 43mm I’ve had for a few years. Love the quality and it’s probably the biggest I’d go. It wears smaller also due to the 12.5mm thickness.
All depends on wrist and comfort. My wrist is 7.5". Way back when I started collecting, my 38mm DateJust was a good size, now I have to put it on a bund to make it wearable. 41mm is good for everyday. I do have 44, 47 and larger. I'm old, so 44 Pams are now great for eyesight. I have many gens, and it sucks not being able to see the dial detail - and just try using the slide rule on a Navitimer...but I digress. Enjoy your choice, and don't worry because nothing has to be permanent
Interesting perspective. It’s also funny how styles and what’s important change over the years. I bought a gen Black Bay 41 a couple years ago and felt it was on the smaller side. Two years later it almost feels too bulky!
