At least now we know why it looks different. The question is, which version is a more realistic representation of how the watch wears?

I just printed this here. http://www.gibcobracelets.com/GIBCO-...sure-sheet.pdf
Thoughts? One pic taped at roughly the 7 inch mark, and it's definitely loose as you can see with the gap below. The other is around 6.8 at a normal snugness but I can still easily rotate the paper.

I just printed one off and did it myself. Flash drowned out some numbers, but yeah.
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. |

And you guys said I must've measured my wrist wrong. :p
It's definitely subjective. There are times that I think the watch looks big, but every time I put it on, I think "this watch is amazing." So it stays. I wouldn't be opposed to selling it for a 15202 or even a 15450 though.

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. |

And, yeah, an awful lot of wrist shots are too close to tell how large the watch really is. Shots from farther away often tell a very different story. |

Your wrongness was just their forgetfulness that not all wrists are the same shape, irrespective of what number the tape measure displays. |

I prefer the size of the 15300 as compared to the 400. It fits my 6.5" wrist better.
