15500 wrist shots, wrist size and fit

I’ve seen a bunch of posts on the 15500 being too big for some wrists and the 15450 being too small for others. I have a 6 3/4 inch wrist and recently bought a 15500 silver. While a big watch, I think it works for me?

Curious to get feedback on how it looks and see other member wrist shots and perspectives on fit for their wrists.

Looks good to me. A better representation would be wrist shot from mirror or from further away. Congratulations!

It looks good on your wrist. I think you can wear both 15450 and 15500.

I have similar wrist size with you. I wear from 36mm (14790) to 41mm (15500).

When I bought 37mm, I told the dealer that I have 6.6" wrist and he took one link out but when I put it on, it was too tight, so I have to put one link back in. The dealer told me that 37mm can wear up to 7" wrist, so may be my wrist is close to 7".

For 15500ST, may be you have to take 3 or 4 links out, right?

Looks like a great fit to me! I have a 6.4" wrist, and while it's pushing the envelope for my size, I'm comfortable with how my 15500ST looks on my wrist, and more importantly, how it feels. My 2020 Sub (41mm) and GMT CHNR are smaller, but the RO just feels nicer to me despite it wearing larger.

Some shots on my wrist...

15500 wrist shots, wrist size and fit

I have nearly exact size wrist and I think my 15500 fits me ok.

Tip is to not take close up pics on wrist as they will always make the watch look bigger than it actually looks from a normal perspective, normal being looking yourself or others looking at it.

Good point supernova. Here are some further away shots. Hope that provides a bit more context.

7 inch wrist minimum for a 15500. It looks kinda ridiculous on smaller wrists imho
