Hey everyone, i'm trying to decide on my next rep purchase and one of my choices is the Breitling Chronomat B01. I really like the way the watch looks, but the impression I get is that it is fairly large.

My wrist is about 7", and my Submariner fits just right on it with a nice presence. I was hoping someone had some pics of a B01 next to a Submariner so I could compare their sizes, either next to each other or wrist shots, just something where I could see the difference in size.

Anyone care to help me out? Thanks!

Just to avoid the question "and how does that relate to a Pam? Or a ceramic sub? Or a DSSD? Or an Omega?" here you have the answer. Actually I just grabbed the next best watches that were in reach :D

I hope that helps.

Ceramic Sub, B01, Submariner (without cyclops) [I lost my Noobmariner the other day :( )

And to give you a better impression about the thickness of the watches:

Missed the 288k sale because of that, lol :facepalm:

Let us know how you decide.

Edit: Yes, the B01 is a big and thick watch. Can be compared with the DSSD but it is a bit bulkier because of the chronos. It is also quite heavy. The sub is a really comfortable watch. The ceramic sub is nicely in between.

I felt the sub was too small for my wrist and got the DSSD which is perfect and similar to the BO1. What I would say tho is that if you get the BO1 with roman numerals the watch has so much going on and looks so different from different angles, lighting, that it's like having three watches in one. Also 7 inch is not too small for 43mm watches these days. I find the more you buy the bigger your wrist gets...

... stronger definitely :)

If you feel comfortable with the DSSD then you'll be happy with the B01. It is about the same weight (I just had them both in the hand).
