I'm so in love with AP ROO but people around me warn me about its size is ridiculous on my wrist.
Someone advice me to get xs strap, someone told me to forget it.
T_T

Please show me your small wrist (<6.5) with AP ROO.
Here is my wrist with Daytona and pam 232.
Do you think I can handle it or no?
Please give me some advices.
Thanks guys.

I think you should be fine. I have a small wrist and I think it look good on my wrist AP ROO Volcano.

Fiddy · 19 October 2011, 05:35 PM

What is your wrist size?
It looks amazing on you.

h999r · 19 October 2011, 06:13 PM

AP ROO only 42mm diameter size. You ll be fine. Is not as big as you think. Go get it.

beaglehusky · 19 October 2011, 08:55 PM

Maybe you can trade it in for the Panerai, which looks a little big for your wrist. Enjoy the RO!

chazha · 19 October 2011, 09:06 PM

If you wanna go for a ROO try one with black/dark strap with a black dial. A carbon watch case would also make the watch look smaller. You compare that with a ROO safari
Which is 42mm vs a a black Hublot big bang 44mm

I have a 6.5" wrist and the AP ROO looked massive and out of place on my wrist, I really think you need a 7"+ wrist to make it look right. Try to take a love at the AP ROC, it is a slimmer case and wears smaller.

xbox · 19 October 2011, 10:25 PM

Depends on the profile of your wrist, since wide and thin can take a bigger watch, if you get my drift ..... but then case dimensions also play a role.

To me, if the lugs protrude further than your wrist, its game over!

xbox · 19 October 2011, 10:28 PM

Looking at your pics again, the Daytona fits very well, while IMO the PAM has some hang-over.

End of the day, an awful lot comes down to eye of the beholder, so knock yourself out

agsstructures · 20 October 2011, 12:19 AM

I think it will look to big. My wrist looks about the same size as yours and I just bought a Daytona. For your wrist size I would consider the Royal Oak or Royao Oak Chrono. The Daytona looks perfect on you but IMHO the Panerai is way to big. Either way good luck!

Fiddy · 20 October 2011, 12:23 AM

Thank you very much for your input.

I really wanna have bigger wrist.

Do you think going to gym would help?

I think I'd just use a thicker strap for the Radiomir

psv · 20 October 2011, 12:41 AM

I'm sorry but oversized watches on very small wrist just doesn't look good in most people's eyes. Sure, wear it and enjoy life, but just keep in mind what other people's perceptions might be, if you care about that.

If you are really into the AP design, I'd flip that Panerai (sorry, it just looks too big and I cannot imagine is is very comfortable) and get a AP Royal Oak instead, perhaps even a 15202 Jumbo, if you are into that stuff.

The Daytona, on the other hand, looks great on you.

Enjoy!

h999r · 20 October 2011, 12:56 AM

If you're feel okay with that Panerai on your wrist, then AP ROO would be fine for you.

ocwatching · 20 October 2011, 01:11 AM

Here is the Diver on 6.5" wrist. I have since put on a short strap on it and the piece sits comfortably. I think this would be my limit though I wear bigger Panerais.

Cru Jones · 20 October 2011, 01:25 AM

have you tried it on? what do you think?

B. Doggy · 20 October 2011, 02:01 AM

I've got a new ROC coming today and have 7.25" wrists. I'll post some pics later. I have to admit that I'm lucky to be able to wear anything from 40mm to 47mm without issue. It just seems to work for me. I personally went for thee ROC for classic design and size.

I tried once at AD. Feel like the strap kinda loose.
I maybe need xs strap. It would be lot better.

7-7.25 is the best size for any watches.
I'm so jealous.

It looks great.
Is it xs strap or regular length?

I actually mix and matched the long end of the regular strap with the short end of the buckle from the short strap to find the perfect fit...

highly recommend the short strap setup if you have a smaller wrist...

good luck...

I had the 249 and its just wears too big...

slcbbrown · 20 October 2011, 04:00 AM

I'm not a fan of the look of the ROO, but I wouldn't worry too much about wrist size. Unless you are at the men's wrist extremes, it's a pretty subtle difference. A guy with an 8.5" wrist can still wear a DD, and someone with a 6" wrist can easily wear a Sub.

Looks soooooo good!

TSW · 20 October 2011, 04:27 AM

Go to your AD and give it a try, Seeing that PAM of yours that wears bigger then a ROO i don't think you would have any problem wearing a regular 42mm ROO

chland7 · 20 October 2011, 04:57 AM

I have the Diver and a small wrist. I got a short strap and its comfortable and looks really good. I prefer smaller watches too. Try it on though if you can, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

cheese · 20 October 2011, 10:24 AM

My wrist size is only 6"

a 42mm ROO on your 6.5" wrist would definitely looks better than me
