My wrist is 7.25 for reference. I can pull off the 15400 easily, but I felt that the 15300 suits better. 15450 works too, but the bracelet is significantly narrower and it takes away some of the masculinity for me.

7 inches and flat and a 41mm will be fine, if not flat go for under 40mm.

In a bit of a twist I’ve been wearing one of my sports watches, a Suunto Spartan Ultra (which is huge), as I just started marathon training.

Having got used to it’s size I decided I could easily go with a 42mm watch so have just bought a pre-owned Royal Oak Offshore Safari whilst I work out what’s next. Should be with in a couple of days.

41 is perfect. 39 impossible to get now. I think offshores are great, but I prefer the light weight versions like the ceramic or titanium versions.

Congrats - quite a departure from the original plan!

Indeed, though the search will continue for a more dress watch.

IMO the ideal RO measurement is 39 mm. just as its creator, Mr. Genta, decided.

I wear the 36mm royal oak with dress clothes and the 41mm chrono as a sports piece / more casual. They both work on my 6.7 inch wrist.

I'm a big size guy with pathetic wrist at 6.5inch. 41mm wears big for me, but 37mm dial is too tiny. You surely can pull off a 41mm ro 👍🏻

Nice (even if Genta was not a ROO fan)!

39mm is perfect (15300 or 15202).

I find the 39mm is the perfect for most wrist size. For example, the extra thin jumbo, 15300 or older 39mm chronograph …
