New Offshores at 43mm too big?

[Watchandhoop]

I have bigger wrist and really enjoy the new 43. I am a little bias but if wrist size wasn't a factor to me these are better looking that the 15500 and the Chronos. I personally think the blue ceramic is the best color. I have seen them both side to side and the blue is better in person.

At 7 1/4 wrist size you will be fine. Either with the 43 or 44mm size.

Congrats looks amazing!!

Please send a few more pics inside / outside…. I’m on the list for hopefully H2 and would love to see it in the wild.

Could you also send some with the taupe / black strap? Which one do you like better?

Agreed. I’d go as far as say that 7 inch wrist works…..any less and it’s marginal really.

They’re both really cool. Taupe is great, definitely more noticeable with it on, I’d consider that a summer strap, the black makes the whole thing fit in with most clothes better.
The taupe is kind of this pieces identifier I’d say! Both cool.

Great combo, no idea why they bundle with a leather brown one on the black model

My wrist is tiny, but I tried this on (not allocated). Thoughts?

feels perfectly fine, imo. and besides, usually a phone camera angle makes the watch too big because your watch face is closer to the lens than your wrist/hand. look at your watch from a standing mirror reflection and you'll properly see how the watch size looks on your arm.

Yeah that's a great fit

Thanks gents for the words of affirmation on the size department, not something I get often from the wife…

I think it looks alright on you!

I have a very small wrist too (6“), i just love the ROO, so i dont care if that's too big or not!

If you like it, just go ahead!

Have a nice day

yeah, at the end, if you love the watch, wear it proud. In general the ROO is big, but more forgiving than the RO.

All-black dial?

Would love a dial like my previous FC 44

They need to bring back the FC in a 43mm. Or do an all ceramic, or that sandblasted titanium case with a black dial like the tourbillon version.

43mm on 7.75 - 8” wrist. Wrist is pretty round vice flat but gives some perspective compared to the smaller wrists.
Before this my daily wear was a DSSD and that fits perfectly.

[acrds1]

I look at this thread daily.... The questions is HOW do I get on a list to obtain one.

[Zavier]

I think that if anyone is able to buy an AP, they probably should not worry too much about size, as long as it's not too extreme. It's like buying a Ferrari- no one would question if you really need a V10 engine.

I have had several 42mm offshores, down to 1 now. Its big enough. I think 43 is def too large, at least for me. 7" wrist.

I think the new 43 is slightly thiner and smaller lug to lug than the 42...

I own AP's in 44mm, 43mm, 41mm. I prefer 44mm but I also have a 7.5" wrist size that makes other watches seem small

What wrist size do you have mate? Based on your photo the size of the strap being worn tightly lets you get away with the watch. Its a go for me based on your photo. I myself have a small wrist and am looking to try this one on as well.

Looking good brother - go for it!

Hey Pat - mind sending a pic of your entire forearm with the watch? Only half-joking. You got some Popeye genes sir!

Thanks mate. Yes I did strap it on tightest. The 43 ROOs look incredible in person, a great daily beater.

My wrist is an uninspiring 6.3-6.4 inches. I’ve convinced myself to not care, if I get allocated one, I’m gonna rock it. Regardless if I look like a power ranger

I have just got a 43 in gray as I love the color and titanium. As soon as I saw the new movement and size I wanted one although on my wrist (6.75) even a 44 looks fine. On the 43 I think even a 6 wrist can carry it fine.

Worth a look at this link to see more of the model in gray and how it wears:

Any chance we get some new dial and more titanium options at the end of the month? I would love to see something like the Ref. 26470IO.OO.A006CA.01 (the ghost)…maybe with the hands from the new black dial SS….or a grey smoke dial in Ti case with ceramic bezel.
