Congrats! You're going to find yourself reaching for this every morning more times than not. It is the perfect proportion RO for most.

wears so nicely on your wrist. Congratz.

Side note, at what point is a jumbo too small for the wrist? Mine is 7"

You should be good. My wrist is 7.5 and I think they look good on me. It's a 39mm but the integrated bracelet really makes it wear larger. I have other 39mm pieces that are traditional case shapes like a Saxonia Thin from ALS that I think is pushing it on sizing too small.

Do you mind sharing your purchase history before getting this allocated. I’d like to think this is next in line for me but not sure

Thank you!

My wrist is 7.25-7.5 and more round. I think you would be more than fine, it wears big imo.

I approached the brand almost immediately after the new divers were released and ended up requesting one. Had zero interest in the RO at the time. Was told it would be about 8 months or so. While I was waiting I was stopping in to try other stuff and check in, fell in love with the Code 3 hander and ordered it and it arrived about a month before the diver which was almost exactly on schedule at 8 months. That year got a 50th ROC chrono blue dial, last year the RG 41 black dial on a strap, and now the Jumbo.

I think I was a bit lucky to be a little ignorant around what was popular at the time and happened to like less popular watches in the catalog. I was probably a breath of fresh air in the sea of RO requests/hype. So, it's worked out well and I am of course a big fan of the RO now too. The diver and Code are worn a lot more though.

I'm not a big fish, I can maybe do about a watch a year, but it's obviously true they are prioritizing clients who buy across the the range.

Very nice, we have similar profiles. I also have the blue ROC, do you feel like it’s too similar to the jumbo?

No, they wear completely differently and there's so much dial decoration on the chrono. The color while the same in name, reads differently between the two with the Jumbo being a bit more muted/grey blue. I had a slight concen as well, but it's been unfounded.

Now, the Jumbo just wears better to me, which shouldn't be a surprise I guess, but that's a different issue.

Interesting feedback. My wrist is 7 3/8 but pretty flat. The 43 ROOs and 41s look really good on my wrist (IMHO). Put on my buddies Daytona the other day and it looked so dainty.

I agree on Daytonas for sure. Look small on me too

100% I agree

BUTT I tried on the newest Daytona and I like it. Black dial they had one to try on in Orlando and I feel it’s better looking on the wrist and has better presence with the new bezels hard edge in stainless
