That looks great on your wrist!
I haven't had the pleasure of trying on 15450 in blue but have tried on 15450 in rose gold and blue with diamonds for size. It seems a bit small on my 6.75inch wrist (I think) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m not totally sure of my exact wrist size unfortunately—I think in the 6.75” rang, tho not sure—but if helpful I’ve got pics of the same wrist w a sub/gmt on in case those are relatable... I remember you’ve got a big decision in the offing! |

37 looks great on you. May get away with 39 but certainly not 41 |

Here's 15500 at 41mm Practically lug to lug, it does fit (barely I think) but feel it overwhelms my wrist and looks "off" I wish I could try 39mm. But even if I could, the only 39mm RO is the 15202 and without AD history I'd be going grey. I'm not prepared to pay double retail (at least not yet) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For me, an RO is a really delicate / "special" feeling watch. It may technically be a "sports watch", and I certainly understand that's its DNA, but it just doesn't feel that way to me personally when I'm holding/wearing it. It isn't something I'd wear every day like a rolex (not an issue of value at all btw--a nautilus or an aquanaut feels way sportier to me than an RO fwiw). For that reason I like a simple RO (as opposed to a chronograph or a dual time or what have you) and I prefer it on the smaller side--I love a submariner or a GMT or even a panerai, but an RO doesn't feel appropriate to me at the same or comparable sizes. On the other hand, there are many people for whom an RO reads purely as a "sports" watch, not unlike something like a rolex, a nautilus or an aquanaut, and for those people I suspect a larger size is the preference. All this to say I think the 37mm looks perfect on you and the 41mm looks too big, but that's not really an issue of whether 41mm "fits" on your wrist (and I know many would disagree with me). |

Lovely!
How does the size compare to 40mm Rolex like Submariner? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried on a grey 15450 at the AP boutique and for some reason just couldn't get over how small it looked. and i actually also have a pre-maxi 16610 as well as a 38.7mm 60th speedy vintage re-issue so also enjoy smaller cases. maybe if i tried a blue 15450 i would feel differently. |

Congrats! These joyous AP threads really get me thinking of adding one to the collection.
