Good day everybody.
On the hunt, and I am looking for a ROO that would be suitable for small wrists.

It is very unfortunate that I haven't been able to find a Royal Oak that fits my wrists well.
At 6.25' wish wrists, the 15202 lugs just won't sit on my wrists unfortunately. I would have loved to add that to my collection. A stunning watch with an amazing history.
The 15450 dial is just too small for my taste.
The 15202 dial size is a very nice fit, as my 40MM Rolex fit very well, but just the stiff lugs that make it difficult. Ofcourse some people don't mind this, but I really dislike the way it looks on me personally.

On the hunt for an Offshore now, are there any that work well on small wrists?

Surely we have guys on here with small wrists that own some, and don't look like they are wearing clocks on their wrists.

Pictures?

Thanks all and have a nice day!

Get the 44 Novelty!!

Just kidding. They are all fairly large watches. Diver or other 42s would be your best bet.

X2, sounds like a job for the diver.

You should try the AP 15300. The angle of the bracelet at the lugs is not as pronounced as the 15202. You should look at the ROC city of sails with the rubber strap also. I think the ROOs will be too big.

Try a Patek Nautilus......

aleeboy · 10 July 2015, 09:39 AM

I have the same size wrists. It depends on the shapes your wrists and your overall frame. My Novelty 44 looks tiny compared to my forearms, so it doesn't look so big on me.

el1125 · 10 July 2015, 10:55 AM

For smaller wrist try the 42 ROO or Diver. Of coarse Nautilus if budget allows.

You should be able to wear the 42mm ROO's with the XS Strap!

And instead of the Jumbo try the Patek 5711... It will fit you better!

The 5711 is already going to happen.
Waiting for someone to receive it later this year, and will buy it off him!
Cannot wait! :)

Thank you guys for the help so far!

At 6.25 I think any ROO would be too large for you.
I am at 6.75 or less and can barely pull off 42mm Diver....

agree right here. the 42mm diver looks huge on my 6.5. no dice.

Hairdude1 · 10 July 2015, 02:52 PM

any of the 42mm ROO would be great for you

Aquanaut:

Rubber strap like the ROO's + better size for slimmer wrists.

Should fit you very nicely.

h999r · 11 July 2015, 03:52 AM

it would be too big for you, maybe ROC suit better

osamu · 11 July 2015, 07:20 AM

I've tried on the diver on my 6.5" wrist and thought it was a little big, but not outrageous. I think I could probably do it, but 6.25" might be even tougher.

Maybe like the new ROC QEII with the rubber strap will have a lot of that ROO vibe, while fitting a little better.

Sadly my wrist is the same as yours. It looks ridiculous on my. Hence i sold off my fc diver. Still miss it but sadly, its just not meant to be. :(

lapince · 12 July 2015, 02:30 PM

There are many members with 6.5 wrists who wear 44mm ROO's, I have 6.9 and for me they feel too big, so I went for the diver, you should try it, it's an awesome watch, and these watches as well as Panerai and others are made to look big, you have to think of it as having an oversized sports watch, that's the whole spirit of it IMO, I think you can pull off a diver, I could pull off a 44mm also but just not psychologically ready, maybe some day, anyways the ceramic diver is awesome so I'm very happy with my purchase...

jdkrut · 13 July 2015, 07:53 AM

You should be ok if you go with 42 or smaller. The 39s could work. Also, you can order short straps for the Offshores.

lovej · 13 July 2015, 05:50 PM

On a 6.5"

As much as I enjoy 37-39mm this was super cool!
