God they still have problems with the lume. Still I'm so stupidly tempted to get one of these and respectfully ask legend if he has the time to mod it for me at this point.

Guys, i have another question regarding the bracelet form, should it be a rigid/solid (like the pic) or solf/flexible form to cover your wrist ? If it is rigid, is there any ways to soften it as I have a small wrist and it does not cover my wrist tightly (like pic). Thanks

What size is your wrist?

And yes from what I have seen all modern Royal Oaks are stiff between the first link of the bracelet and the case like that. The only way I can think of to make that part more flexible would be to somehow file down the links attaching the bracelet to the case. Not sure if anyone here besides maybe Legend can (or would even want to) do that.

Not sure what size my wrist is but actually the first 3 links are stiff/fixed like that, is it considered as normal ?. I am thinking of reselling this one as it is a bit big to me.

Yes its considered normal. As far as I know all APs are like this. Which is why they wear bigger than their advertised size. Its one of the reasons why I will likely go with a smaller 36-37mm Royal oak.

Thanks. I will probably go with 33mm lady oak by JF as i like its thinness but not sure if it is too small.

You must be kidding SKXSKX . Are you sure your wrist is that small that you need a 33mm RO? I have a small wrist myself (17.8cm) but I am comfortable wearing the 41mm RO. I cannot imagine your wrist being much smaller.

Ya because what i hate the most about this 39mm is that the bracelet is really stiff... and the 33mm seems to be softer.

The bracelet pliability (softness and flexibility) can be fixed. Don’t give up on the bigger did just because of this.

My XF is on the mail but I have to admit the DC version I have ,has steeper curvature on the first links. Will check the difference soon.
I also have a small wrist bit below 7in

Thanks for you guys advice. I have just measured my wrist and it is only 15 cm :(( I think it is equal to female size and might be suitable for 33 mm.

33mm is far too small even for your wrist. 36-37mm is probably the best approach. Also 15202 can be adjusted to be more flexible but even so... it might still be a bit too big.

He just posted. Apparently he has a 15in wrist. Close to a 6in wrist
