Really going back and forth on the AD and the 15400 in particular. Unfortunately they didn't have a 15450 for comparison. Here's a wrist shot, my wrist is 6.5 inches.

Too big. The integrated lugs/plots jet out and you have some overhang there. It’ll be tough to get a good, comfortable overall fit. How does it feel on your wrist?

My wrist is about 6.5” and the 15450 fits me like a glove.

My initial impression is aesthetically overall the size didn't look too bad (I'm 6'2" with long arms so I have found 40-42mm type watches don't look horrible), but I was a bit concerned with how it would feel with that overhang for long term use. Feels like there might be a lot of empty space there between the lugs and my wrist.

Wish I could find a 15450 to try on.

Yep, the overhang and empty space is no a go for me. Fact, not fiction for a pencil wristed fella like me :) I recently test drove a 15300 and felt the same way. And the 15300 is 39mm vs. the 15400 at 42mm. I lucked out and my AD had a 15450 in stock. Albeit a 15450SR, but at least I got to try the 37mm RO on for size.

Looks too big for me and strictly speaking on a 6.5 inch wrist. But then again, you are 6 2".

Nonsense.

I’m a fan of big watches, but in this case I expect that the 15300 or 15202 would look better.

Jidonsu · 25 April 2018, 01:25 PM

It's hard to gauge size with cell phone pics that are taken directly by aiming at the watch on the wrist. I took this picture with a 100mm lens, aimed at the mirror. I have a 6.75in, and I do sometimes think the AP is a big large, but it looks fine in the mirror. Try taking a picture in the mirror next time you're at the AD.

For reference, here it is taken by iPhone.

Gigaton Punch · 25 April 2018, 01:28 PM

Looks like a good fit to me.

Watch Admirer · 25 April 2018, 01:35 PM

looks good. less than 39 mm is ladies' size in nowadays times

Bello_nyc · 25 April 2018, 03:37 PM

I do not understand why you are hesitating!
I have 6.5 wrists too and up to 42mm everything is just fine.
Don't take pictures up close , just wear the watch and enjoy.
Would never dream of buying the AP 37mm version and I own and wear 36mm Rolex.
The AP needs to be 'present' on the wrist. It just does.

P2725TMB · 27 April 2018, 08:14 PM

Looks fine...

masyv6 · 28 April 2018, 01:14 AM

Looks good. Watches always look bigger on your own wrist than on someone else's.

V25V · 28 April 2018, 01:15 AM

Too big. Do a 15202 or 15300.

chad362wiley · 28 April 2018, 01:57 AM

I like it personally. Maybe it’s a bit big objectively but honestly if it’s comfoetable just wear it

chuey38 · 28 April 2018, 02:30 AM

Imho looks good and if comfortable go for it!

fwiw, i started with a 15400 with 6.75 inch wrists and after 1 year of ownership ended up trading in for a 15202 because it just felt borderline a bit big from a comfort perspective for my personal pref.

39mm i find perfect fit size wise.

solrac6262 · 28 April 2018, 10:28 AM

I’m thinking of a 15400 but concerned also with the size, I have 6.5” wrist and ROO 42 fits fine on mine, but this is more of a dress watch should fit more like a nice suit in my opinion, too big

As a previous owner with the same wrist size, I would suggest that you focus more on the fit than appearance. I think it looks fine on your wrist but make sure it's comfortable. AP RO bracelets don't have micro adjustments like Rolex so getting the right fit my be a challenge.
