15202 RO too loose even with all removable links off

Good day to all.

Hope everyone is well.
So in question is a early series 15202 (from 2011).
I haven't taken any photos yet, but here is a link of another example by acollectedman of a similar variant.

https://www.acollectedman.com/produc...31189248966739

Features an older style bracelet along with the older styled clasp.

I am happy with the size of the watch, but due to my smaller wrist size as well as it being an older variant, these hadn't been catered too well for men(or women) with smaller wrists.

Has anyone faced a similar issue and has been able to address it?
I'd appreciate any insight!

Thank you in advance.

How big is your wrist size? May be this 15202 is too big for your wrist, probably 36mm or 37mm might fit your wrist better.

If you still want to wear 39mm (15202), you will need to have this bracelet modified.

Contact APSC, I am sure they should be able to modify the bracelet to fit your wrist properly.

Hey there, thanks for the response.

I do have small wrists (6.25”), and do own 36mm royal oaks, however I have also grown to love the 39 on my wrists.

The issue is that it is an early version of a 15202, I’m sure a newer version would not have the issue, but I would like to see if there is a way to make it happen while using the same bracelet and not swapping it for a newer version (which I believe may be slightly thicker), and also definitely without damaging the original bracelet.
For reference, here is how the 39 open work sits on my wrists.

It seems like 39mm still looks pretty good on your wrist. I think APSC can modify your existing bracelet to fit your wrist.
Wow, this timepiece sure looks gorgeous.
