Are the New RO 34mm in High Demand?

I have not seen much discussion on these. Are these hard to obtain pieces like the 15500? Asking for a friend who is interested in purchasing one.

I think the target for 34mm size is mostly for women. It won't be as hot as 15500st or 15450st.

Thanks. My friend is a she and has tiny wrists. She has a 31mm Rolex DJ which seems to be a perfect size. Will the 34mm be too big?

I just bought it over the weekend. The blue face one. Am female and my wrist is tiny, 34mm is the maximum I can take for AP RO. Getting the links adjusted today, if you need a photo will try and take one after that. Am loving it so far.

It wasn’t very hard to get but depends on the dial color as well. The all stainless steel bracelet, no diamonds and silver white face and the blue dial with diamond bezel one were much rarer and had some small wait time. The rose gold with diamonds and the two toned stainless steel with rose gold ones seemed much more easily available

I disagree about the 37mm or 38mm.
Both size great for men who have smaller wrist and/or like smaller watch.

Guy here. I'll get a 34mm if they make a blue-grey without the diamond bezel. Would pay a premium via a grey or bundle with a rose gold RO for misses.

Until then they don't have an RO thats for me. Maybe an old blue 36mm but i'm not going there. 37mm too stocky/fat for my liking.

Wish the new model was 35mm though to split difference between 37mm and 33mm. I assume they phasing out the 33mm. why have 33 and 34?

If a 38mm Royal Oak is for women how come at 39mm the Royal Oak is one of the most iconic sport watches known to men? Does 1mm make such a difference? I don't think so!

Girl here. I think that would be a fantastic idea for a model. From seeing pictures, The grey blue is a very nice hue.

You made a lame drive by claim, which has no basis. You got called out for it.

According to the Miami AP Boutique, the 34 is hard to get for sure.

I had a 37mm one I loved. Got it for like $10k or so from WatchBox but now they seem to be trading for a lot more. It had a moonphase + calendar function and was totally fine on my 6.5"ish wrist.
