Hi all, I apologize if this question is too nooby for the forums but I just made this account to try and ask as I would love to buy my first rep fairly soon! I have my heart set on this AP from PureTime; https://puretime.io/watch-brands/au...ue-textured-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a3120-v5.html. I just measured my wrist and it measures to 44mm however this model only comes in 41mm.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can do or ask to make this 41mm watch work for my 44mm wrist or do I just need to look elsewhere for a different model. All advice is much appreciated.. Thank you!!

How do you measure your wrist to get 44mm? Typical measurements are from 6.x inches to 8 inches.

I honestly think it will look okie on your wrist. Go to an AP boutique and try one for yourself. You will be surprised.
I wear the 41mm and it looks as fine as the 37mm (15202).

Try measuring the circumference of your wrist which will give a better idea of the size, the 15400 wears a lot bigger than the 41mm suggests, and suits a flatter wrist more than a rounder one. The 37mm 15450 was a great size for smaller wrist, sadly it's no longer available. The 39mm 15202 is a good compromise if you can live without a second hand, however I think it's absurdly overpriced but that's only my opinion

My wrist is 7 inches and AP 15400 wears perfectly fine. Also, good choice of the first rep.

Get the Quartz 15202 with 39mm. Great first rep, available VERY cheap m2m. If this one still floats your boat after a few weeks, think about a 15400. But mind you, it wears a lot bigger than the 2mm would suggest. But if you do so, think of a used v4. Great watch, and good deals can be had nowadays that the v5 (with just minor improvements) is out.

Just got a nice one for EUR 290 shipped. Like new.

And if this one also floats your boat, get a gen dial. They're day and night compared to the rep ones.

Later on let's talk offshore. Then the real crazy begins.

Here an old version 15400 (41mm) vs the cheap quartz 15202 (39mm). You get the drift.

The 15450 is still available with Ryan at intime. I just had one delivered a week ago and it’s amazing!

Thank you all for your help!!! It appears my initial question was even more nooby than I had originally thought. I measured my wrist and it was just above 7 inches; then I went to a chart and it said I need a 44mm watch.

I guess i'm an idiot but I thought that the '44mm' measurement was your wrist size so it wasn't something that could be compromised (I thought the 41mm would be too small physically for my wrist lol. Like I wouldn't be able to put it on).

Tldr; I'm an idiot that thought 41mm meant the size of the band around your wrist, not the size of watch.

The 15400 wears great on a 7in wrist. I read it wears big by people but to me it doesn't with the integrated lugs and bracelet. It hugs and wraps the wrist nice. Easily one of my favorite watches. I've had quiet a few in all colors. So far a blue V2 has been my favorite. The black is most accurate. Grey is third for dark. The white is really nice but dressy to me with the white/silver dial and bracelet.

A gen blue is a grail for me but at that price its hard to justify as it doesn't fit as an everyday watch in my lifestyle.
