Which size Royal Oak for 6.5" wrist?

[rek00001]

Hi all, so I've decided I'd like to add a Royal Oak to my collection. I have a 6.5" wrist, narrow and deep in cross section, not wide and flat.

So, can anyone recommend which case size RO should get? Thanks in advance.

So I did a bit of research - it sounds like 37mm case for me, but it's thick.
I found a DHGate sh**ter, supposedly N8 Factory, I may buy to try out. I wonder how the bracelet will wrap around my wrist.

I was thinking the same today looking at older 37mm (without the diamonds) let me know how it goes!

What size is that in cm?

 

[gilrob]

39mm 15202, XF or ZF. It might work out for you.

Google says 6,5inch is 16,5cm .....

 

[rek00001]

Yep 16.5cm. So I'm wondering if the XF or ZF15202 would work, advantage being they have a thinner case than the 15450, which would sit high on the wrist.
I'm concerned about it sitting on my wrist like a platter, and bracelet gap. Sigh.

Anyone with 6.5" wrist like mine have experience with the 39mm ?

Ive got more like a 6.75 inch wrist and have a zf 15202.

Most importantly, wrists with the same diameter arent the same as the shape also matters. I have a rather flat wrist, so id say ppl would say the 15202 fits me nicely though i think id prefere a 15450 without having one.

The one thing that made me go with the 15202 though is the thikness which gives it a much different pressence on the wrist and lets u get away with it being slightly too small.

I did research myself and found 6.5 inch wrist on which the 15202 looked too big and others on which the 15202 looked too small. There is no universal answer. if u re not sure, go with the smaller one

Mine is 17,5
In case it helps
Some 15300. 15202 mbw. 15202 xf in 39mm
And 15400 in 41mm
And some ROO love

 

[asanibal]

I would stay with 39mm
So 15202 XF is a good choice

 

[rek00001]

Thanks for replies guys!

Asanibal, that's quite the collection, wow Maria Best Watch a blast from the past. Thanks for all the photos, it does help me.

I'm thinking I should stick to the 15450 to be on the safe side, even with it's thickness. I believe that would fit best. I hope TDs still have it.

Thanks so much for listing so many with numbers. Really helpful reference and reduce my ROO fear ????

15202, 39mm is the right size. With casual wear (Jeans), you can also do the 42mm divers.

 

[rek00001]

Thanks much for all replies.

I personally am in the camp of smaller. My wrist is about 6.75" and I prefer the 15450/14790 size. Pay particular to the size of the mid-case lug-to-lug sizing - it can dwarf your wrist on the larger sizes. I cannot wear the 41-42mm RO/ROOs as a result.

14790 36mm:

15300 39mm:

 

[rek00001]

Thanks man, I'm thinking the 15450 would fit me well.

I am looking for a 15450 as well. Do you know which TD having it in stock?

TD dont usually carry stock, they source from factories. So ask your preferred TD if he can source one for you

So Puretime and Theonewatch have 15450 listed, both JF factory but one is fitted with 9015 decorated and other with A2824 decorated. From the description, the A2824 is only 0.5mm thinner.

https://puretimewatch.io/royal-oak-...t-edition-blue-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a3120.html

They are both from JF factory, I don't understand why there are two different movements. Which one should I go for?

The dial on the A2824 does look better than the 9015, especially with the marker at 3.

The right piece with a line at index 3 is an older release unlike the left piece which is correct as in gen-like.
