Hi, I have a ~6.5 in wrist size. Do you guys think the 15450 is a good fit? If not, what AP watches (heck, or any brand) is best for my wrist size? Looking for SS watches w/ white dials

Thanks in advance :D

15202

I had all 15400 / 15450 / 15202 (both quartz and miyota)

the 15450 is just too thick imho

15202 is slightly larger but its thinness make it much more comfortable on the wrist even for skinny wrists

Very helpful. Been thinking of trying a RO.

Any currently available 15202 reps you'd recommend? You preferred the quartz or the Miyota?

Yeah, totally agree with SuperLory’s recommendations. Or you could go for an AP tourbillon.

have same your size and waiting for 15202
15450 is quite fine tho.but the thickness will kill u while the gen just 9.x mm
JF still hasnt released 15202 yet.they said that they working on it.try to mod the movement cause 9015 is very close to gen movement.
currently reps of 15202 are shit imo.thickness might ok.however tons of flaws on dial that shouldnt have made if they put more attention on making it.wrong dw position . AP logo has no gap between.bigger hour markers and further more is wrong tapesserie.
u may have 15400 v2 JF just listed short ago.its a best mod i think so far.but size would be a bit problem on wirst.
Anyway.my moint now is waiting for 15202 or get 15400.if u get 15400.i really want to seewrist shot posted here mate!

15400 on 6.7" wrist. A little too big. The lugs are not hugging my wrist closely. 15202 would be perfect.

Superlory's advice is good.

Ap lugs are protruded or extended and you need a bigger wrist to wear it well.

Dial Accuracy & finishes on 15450 are way superior than 15202 but the latter is more comfortable to wear because of its thinness

Part of it is personal preference. 40mm or less is good IMHO. 41mm is pushing it.

I'm fine with the 15450 if it's not too uncomfortable. I have a daily beater that's 12mm thick x 41mm, and it's pretty comfortable.

it's not uncomfortable by any mean, it's just too thick for what it is imho.

If you don't care about brands then the MSTR Ambassador S is perfect, we have similar wrist sizes. Their style is similar to AP but they're obviously not luxury watches.

OP, I think we are on the same boat. I just received today my Loco Louie's Blue 15400 and it's way too big even for my 7-inch wrist. So I am now waiting for Loco Louie's 15450 in gray dial. He posted in his website that he will try to slim it down to 9.82mm. Problem is, he only has the blue version which I think may be a v2 based on the serial number "I", though I could be wrong. AP Experts, please chime in.

You can do 15450 or 15202.

Thanks, @PlanetZoom. Yeah, that's the idea. I'm waiting for Loco Louie to have the gray dial 15450. He is attempting to slim it down to 9.83mm. The 15202 is ideal, but there's no super-rep yet. Again, thanks for the inputs.

You are welcome. Let us know how the results. I am still deciding between the two, although I am partial to the blue dial.
