15450 vs 77350
Hi all,
Looking to purchase my first RO for my tiny almost 6 inch wrists. Initially, I was about to pull the trigger on a 15450 blue dial but after trying it on I was blown away by how HUGE it looked on me. Main issue being the lug-to-lug length overhanging on my wrists. So after doing some thinking, I am now considering the 77350 in white dial. Unlike the 15450, I can obtain the watch at retail from the AP Boutique in NYC relatively quickly and after looking at some photos of it on wrist on the forum and doing a side by side, it looks like a much better fit. I'd much prefer a blue dial which they don't make yet, but could buying this now from a boutique put me in contention for a future blue dial version? Either case, would love your opinions on the side by side I mocked up. One being black dot's 34mm 77350 on wrist vs. the 37mm 15450 on my wrist. |

I recently visited AP house in London with my partner and we tried on the 15450 and the new 77350.
I have a wrist size just over 6 inches and felt the 37mm didn’t look right in person although looks ok in photos. Seems more to do with the actual dial size rather than the case size. I much preferred the 41mm. I didn’t try the 34mm as that would definitely be too small, my partner did and I also feel this is definitely more for women’s size. I can't see this watch size look well on a 6 inch wrist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You should take a photo with the whole arm or a full body view. Gives better perspective. The wrist shot for the 34mm does look better than the 37 though, but since it's a mock up you should just try it out before committing.
However for a guy I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with the 37mm.

I saw men with small wrist (less than 6.25") looks pretty good with 37mm.
Size is personal preference, to me a bit bigger looks better than smaller. Most men go min. with 37mm. But from your picture, 34mm seems to fit you better. |

Go with what you like and see yourself being comfortable with
I have a 6.5in wrist and got the 15450. The 15500 was too large for my taste

Based on those 2 pictures the 34mm looks like a better fit. Not sure if you're interested in vintage but the ref. 14790st or the 4100st may be a good fit for your wrists as well as they are 36mm and thinner compared to modern royal oaks.

I spoke with the AP boutique this morning and they were definitely pushing me away from the 77350 which was discouraging. So much to consider. |

My wrist is 6” as well and for me the 15450 is a perfect fit. Sometimes it just looks big in pictures depending on the angle or whatever.

Does anyone know if the 34mm diameter includes the bezel? I am curious what it measures out to including the bezel. I am hearing that rolexes include the bezel but APs do not, can anyone confirm this?

Don't listen to BS about a certain diameter being "ladies" size as we all have different wrist size and dimensions. Wear what suits your wrist not the general WIS crowd Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk

I have a very skinny wrist (6") and the AP 15450 is a great fit. The 34mm might be a bit small.

From the looks of it your wrist looks more like 5.5"
