36/37 mm RO on ladies

Hi guys

Bit of help needed. Contemplating to pick up a RO 14700 or 14790 for my wife. She currently wears a Sub 16610 and a DJ 16013 in rotation... She has fairly small wrists (Approx 15 cm (5.9 inches) - But my question is if she will be able to fit such a watch? Will it be possible to remove enough links to get a good fit from a 14790? anyone have any experience in this area?

Thanks

15450 is marketed as a woman’s watch, so I’m fairly certain that one should be without issue. Those models^ should probably be the same?

Should be no problem whatsoever. I have a little over 6" wrists and the 14790 fits me well. There is still room to remove another 2 links too, so your wife will have no trouble!
The 14790 is also slimmer than the 15450, and would probably be a better wear.

If your wife likes slightly larger sized watches and wants to go with modern, then 15450 is definitely the route to take.

Good luck!

my wife thought a 37mm 15450 RO looked ridiculous. I tend to agree based mostly on the thickness. I actually think a 15202 would have looked better on her. Not familiar personally with the two references you are referring, but thickness is the key and not just the diameter.
