Hello!

Sorry in advance for the bad pictures! I was excited to try these on!

Went to the boutique today. I honestly felt that the 41 was too big for me..

Jumbo isn't even in question but I would feel like that would be the best size for me.

Just wanted to get everyone's input. The RO would be my first AP watch! Can't wait to be part of the family!

Easily the 37

Most people with less than a 7 inch wrist can't really pull off a 41mm RO, especially the silver/grey dials

Forgot to take a pic of the 41

37!

37. Is the dial on the 37 grey? Looks really good.

Yes! Its the gray dial. The picture i took doesn't do it justice! This is my favorite color dial

Emery · 1 June 2023, 02:13 PM

41 presents as sportier, while 37 classier/more formal.
I reckon the 37 looks better on you.

As an aside, the 39 (jumbo) has more aggressive lug flare so may not necessarily fit well on you.
I have same size wrists as you and own a 37.
The 41 wears better on me than the 39.

robinmgb · 1 June 2023, 05:32 PM

Always 41 for me, just not a white dial as that’s what makes it look bigger

htm998 · 1 June 2023, 05:49 PM

I'm picking the 41.

INC · 1 June 2023, 06:17 PM

37

mobster600 · 1 June 2023, 09:28 PM

The 41mm proportions are a bit better just purely comparing the watches. The 41mm is a very nicely designed bezel, dial and case look. Id say one watch could look better size to wrist visually. However you should think about the design characteristics and see if the 41mm is wearable. If its absolutely not wearable what-so-ever, then buy the 37mm. But if its possible the 41mm is the way to go. Its also much more desirable if you decide to sell it. Its the go-to Royal Oak size. Good luck!

salnuaimi · 1 June 2023, 10:54 PM

38mm chrono

Sleepy996 · 2 June 2023, 12:00 AM

37 ftw

m3tek44 · 2 June 2023, 12:17 AM

37 or 38 will be ideal for 6.5 inch

mikef82 · 2 June 2023, 12:22 AM

Are watches supposed to feel heavy? I tried on the 41 and 37 and the weight difference was pretty significant. If I could recall, the 37 feels way more comfortable than the 41

Not sure if it was because the watches weren't sized

Nav01L · 2 June 2023, 12:51 AM

I would take the 37, the other one looks a bit forced

huncho · 2 June 2023, 01:48 AM

37 looks perfect in both the wrist and mirror photos

Rolexavidfan · 10 June 2023, 03:32 PM

15500 and 15510 resolved the lug flare issue of the 15400 and even the 15202. To top it, the 15500 has a sportier look of shorter hour marker and inner minute track.

What do you mean by lug flare issue? That the angle was flat and therefore it would protrude above the wrist?

helloworldies · 10 June 2023, 04:54 PM

Get the 41mm.
Royal Oaks are sports watches not dress.
You will get used to the size quickly!

DonLee · 11 June 2023, 12:34 AM

41mm

dmash · 11 June 2023, 11:13 AM

37 looks great on you

The only thing good in that 41 pic is your Common Projects as I own the same pair (actually went through probably 7-8 white pairs over the last 15 years, ha).

Trust your gut. 37 looks great.

I can pull off the 41, and usually wear 42mm watches, but the 39 RO is best on my wrist. RO is no small watch.

Benzsiam · 11 June 2023, 10:39 PM

Both look good, no wrong choice here.

I have 6.6" wrist, I wear AP from 36 mm to 41 mm.
