41mm AP RO 15400 on 6.5” wrist

Hi all,

In case anyone was wondering how the 41mm Royal Oak wears on 6.5” or 16.5cm wrist, you’d want to have a look at the video I have put together. The video includes macro shots, do have your headphones on to enjoy the video to fullest

Enjoy,

How does it compare sizewise with a 216570 ?

I’d say it wears exactly same as explorer ii - reason being they both share lug to lug height of 51mm.

Thanks for the nicely done and well presented video. It's certainly stirred my interest. Personally, I prefer this over the newer 15500 even in blue.

Depends on how flat your wrist is , if it is very then 6.5 can even wear a 44 roo, if not them 7 can't wear a 41.

Thank you so much mate for watching and the feedback. I personally am preferring the 15400 myself because there’s something about the thin and long hour markers that make me fall into love with these. I’m still going to get 15500 but will then either keep 15500 or 15400. I’ll update here in a few months time the video comparison and also how I go with my preference

This is so very true. I think you have right it right at the head. I have 6.5” but very flat and i think I can pull ROO without problems as well. I’m actually drooling over the new ceramic ones LE that came out this year.

I bought a 15400 blue after watching this.
I have a similarly sized wrist so this was very informative.
Great video!

Nice vid horolojust! You also have a 42mm Explorer 2 right? How would you compare the fit of that vs the 15400 and also vs the 41 ROC? Thanks!

I did have but I moved it to fund my incoming. 41mm RO I reckon wears smaller the same as explorer ii. Both watches in question have lug to lug height of 51mm, hence the similarity in wearability.

I tried on 15500 in my 6.75 wrist and although it might "fit" ony wrist. I feel it kind of overwhelms my wrist with a lot of dial
