Should I go for ROO 44mm ?

Hi,
I have a diver model, and I’m interested in getting 44mm for myself.
But I’m not sure if the 44mm will be too big for my wrist.

Here are some photos of me wearing a diver model.

The Tokyo edition is a beauty and I am actually trying to find one for a friend who is very keen to get his hands on one. It’s proving difficult so nice catch!

Can you send a side profile photo of the driver to show how the lugs wrap around your wrist? What is the circumference of your wrist?

There’s a piece available in AP boutique Ginza NOW! I was there a few days ago before they close for the year. You can still make it:)

I would DEFINITELY try one on first. (if possible) the 44s wear quite large I love the reference and have been considering the new grey ceramic. It’s just a tad bit large for my taste (today....lol)

It’s a personal preference but for my taste, I would say no to a 44mm for you. I have smallish wrists and a 44mm is borderline for me at 6 3/4. If the lugs exceed your wrist, it’s too big. From your pic, the 42mm is already there.

That all being said, only you can determine what you like.

I am a big advocate for the 44 but it may just be too big for you based on your 42 pic, but try one on and post mirror pics of it here.

If you like it, get it.
It will be a bit big for you, but not ridiculously so.
