First ap-basic questions

Looking for a recommendation, I have owned a ton of 5/6 digit Rolex, omega, iwc the list goes on. Only one that has really fit great is the 6 digit exp 1.

I’m looking for an ap reference on bracelet. With date, I’m guessing a royal oak not royal oak off shore is what I would need. Looking to stay in the 20kishhhhh

Sorry for the super elementary question regarding fit and references

The new 38MM Chrono is a good choice to stick with that size.

I forgot to mention, no chrono, one thing I like about the explorer is no frills dial and no crown guards. So the less pushers and things the better, I’m finding lady watches and quartz

Depends on your wrist size. The 15450 is the best choice for wrists <= 6.5 inches.

Perfect fit for me..

If you have a smaller wrist, the 15450 is absolutely the way to go!

As others have said a 15450 would probably tick all your boxes. Can’t wait to get one myself. Here’s a photo of a gold one on my flat 6.25” wrist...

Never measured my wrist before, 6.5” just checked, think they would have one of these at the boutique to try on?

your options descending from easier to harder to get:

1- 15450 silver & grey "37mm" 16k
2- 15500 grey & black "41mm" 19 k
3- 15450 blue "37 mm 16k
4- 15500 blue "41mm" 19k
5- 15202 blue "39mm" 24k


6.5" wrist if flat you can wear any of the models above and the 37" might look smallerish, only if flat wrist.

Good luck OP

Seems this is being asked a lot recently, here are my two 15450’s on my 6.5” wrist, along with my 6-digit Rolex trio.

Interesting, the white is really looking bigger !

The 1st day I've discovered the 15450, I wasn't aware it was a 37mm.
I was wearing also a SD4K and when I compared them, I was convinced that the 15450 was a 39mm.
It was great to be able to tried it so impartially.
As it was fitting perfectly my 6.7 wrist, I do not have doubt about this diameter, I went with it and I don't regret.

Yep, the silver dial definitely wears bigger.
