I think you should definitely be going with the 6.75" measurement, the 7" looks too loose. I maybe could have cinched mine down a touch more to 7.125" as well. Good tool! I like how we've went from 15300 v 15400 to measuring our wrists

This truly shows how subjective the watch v wrist subject is. As you can see, I'm 7.125"-7.25", pretty lean with a flat wrist, and I think that 15400 looked borderline silly on me. Yet on the other spectrum, we have guys with 6.25" wrists wearing them and the lugs overhanging. Same thing with a 40mm Sub, I think it looks great on my wrist, whereas others with the same size think it's tiny.
How a watch looks on a wrist is subjective, but I've also noticed that the length of the watch tends to make the watch look much bigger. Next to my 36mm Vacheron from the 1970s the AP 15300 doesn't look that much bigger with 3 more mm since the lugs and case shape makes the Vacheron longer and look bigger.

But that dial and case shape on the 15300 and the AP logo on the 12 o'clock is just epic, also the 39mm case shape tends to not overpower the shape of the bracelet which in my personal opinion is a major part of the watch.
