Does any of you with an AP Diver sport a 6,7 inch wrist? (Or there a-bouts)

The Diver is one of the models I'm thinking of getting, but the Helsinki AD does not have a Diver, nor do they have one coming.

So I'd love to see a picture of the watch on a wrist about the same size as mine. I'm a bit scared of the size... My 39mm ROC is perfect, but the diver is a bit bigger at 42mm, and getting it from one of the greys, just to notice it's too big would kill me!

The Diver on my 6.5 wrist :)
Great watch!!

simongpaez · 21 October 2013, 12:29 AM

6.5

Thank you guys!

And yes, it looks awesome!

I think it will go very well go on mine.

I have a 42mm JLC navy seals, and the size is fine, but usually the AP's wear a bit bigger than other makes.

For further encouragement.

It does wear bigger than the NSD and more like a 44mm watch but I think you will just be fine Andreas, and remember a sports AP is not a PP or even JLC so it should have some presence and really fill your wrist.

texex91 · 21 October 2013, 06:43 AM

Oops--you said Diver right...how about a 44mm instead?

steveclocks · 21 October 2013, 07:32 AM

I think an AP diver will fit you perfectly Andreas! Like the sound of it as your next/new watch !

benlee · 21 October 2013, 03:26 PM

The Diver wears big. So it's 42mm diameter with the lug/octagonal case is more like 44 ~ 45mm. Diver on my 6.75" wrist.

Thanks guys!

Really appreciate you taking time and post pics.

The 15300 is my other alternative... Hmmmm.... Decisions...

Get the diver

AK797 · 23 October 2013, 06:10 AM

Diver and RO in RG.

Presa canary · 23 October 2013, 06:22 AM

I think the size of the watch would be fine on you. That being said, I'd get the 15300 over that watch

Ah right, then gotta be the Diver for me.

bayerische · 23 October 2013, 07:14 PM

Sometimes I think the 15300st might be too similar to my 25960BC...?

I absolutely love the 15300 with the blue dial though...

Arghhh! Why is it so hard?

I do love the diver as well, and it's so different.

Loosing my mind!

Does the Diver differ in size by much from a ROOC? Perhaps the AD has a variation on the ROOC that could stand in for sizing purposes?

just a thought

bayerische · 28 October 2013, 09:05 AM

Paul, that would probably have worked with a 42mm.

I have one in the works.

Won't get it before 4 weeks though.

shnxx · 29 October 2013, 06:32 PM

The stainless steel diver wears bigger than the black divers such as the forged carbon or the ceramic due to the color/optical illusions.

SS diver looks much more impressive though due to the polished parts and the contrast in colors.
