15703 / 15710 versus 6-digit Rolex Sub/GMT

[CasinoRoyale_007]

Hi all - I am hoping for some comparison pics and/or experience from those who had owned both the 15703 / 15710 and a 6-digit Rolex/GMT. I'm pretty familiar with the 6-digit Rolex size but am wondering how much bigger a 15703 / 15710 fits.

I have tried to scuttlebutt research as much as I can through Watchfinder, comparing using Tim from Watchbox on diff videos, and through forums - but figured no harm in asking as there wasn't a ton of info / pics.

COVID makes it harder to go to a boutique and most of my friends have ROs instead of ROOs (I'm looking for a sturdy weekender with WR), so any pics or insights would be welcome!

With a 6.75 - 7inch flat wrist, I think this one will be right on the edge of acceptable...maybe (it doesn't look that ridiculous on Tim and my wrist is bigger than his - and this is for a weekender watch anyway...)

Thanks you and stay well.

AP will wear much much bigger. Not only because it’s bigger to begin with but also because of the lugs you factor in.

Hafiz had a wonderful video on the 26480: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Umb_S-RDM

And somehow in his video it looks great despite his wrist not being that big at all - maybe my eyes are just tricking me here...

With a 6.65 flat wrist it will wear perfectly.

Thanks Tomas! I see you have both a 15707 and a 116610, so that is very useful.

Also owned a 15710, regret selling that one. Great piece.

If you go for the black dial diver that wears smaller than the white.

My wrist is around 6.5” and it’s a good fit for what should be a large diving watch

Tomas, Burlington, and Vince - thank you all very much! Believe it or not, I've stumbled across some of your photos before in my extensive lurking, but you all provided something new as well. EXTREMELY valuable.
Edit:Vince - I am literally alt-tabbing rapidly your GMT pic and your AP ROO pic to get a good idea of the size difference - I absolutely LOVE how you kept the angle and distance the same. So useful!! The closest I can get to looking at it side by side without being in the boutique myself. And Burlington - agreed on the black! Was going to go for Black anyway and I'm glad to see you agree :). And Thomas - imo the 15703 wet dial might win out over the 15710!

I was hoping the black diver might wear only a "bit" larger than "normal" sports pieces, and I find that "slightly" bigger size acceptable for a weekender. So looks like the 15703 / 15710 black is in the running! Now... decisions about wet dial (old) versus display back (new)... time to see the 15710 in the flesh at a Boutique when I can!

Thanks everybody.

Thank you so much! Extremely useful and exactly in line with what Vince's pictures show regarding relative size.
