100% same deal here. No issues with Carbon and XS. Wears light and comfy.

I have tried few other SS gens. Same deal as with the diver, too heavy. You will run into same issue. Won't work for guys with super wrist bone ;-)

Here is a profile shape of XS strap at second hole to last, as I wear it on 6"

And here is a photo how it wraps around the wrist. The extra space may look funky in pics but it's all good in real life.

This fit is nice and firm, not tight at all, little loose. Enough to be very comfy. It also does not rotate around the wrist at all.

And a couple more angles.

XS gen strap works perfectly. It fits the rep like it's a gen. Highly recommended despite the high price. It will last forever.

But, wont the s/s ROO feels a bit differently than s/s diver?
First, the case back is different, no 3d fonts on s/s roo caseback.
Secondly, there is an extra rubber pushers at 2 o clock, which, I am thinking, should help to reduce the effect of "collision of wrist bone and sharp watch corner", right?

What do you think?

 

[lfovco]

Not sure, I was not paying such a close attention. Are you close from AP dealers.
When I get back from vacation, I could try some on again. Probably sometime early next month.

 

[Sultan Brunei]

Yea, I'm close. But the thing is, to know the real comfort of this thing, you have to really wear it for some time, then you decide. You can't just try it in some AD and then judge. Most watch will feel okay..

So the answer should come from someone who has owned s/s roo and wear it all the time...

 

[lfovco]

It would be have to be someone with very similar wrist.
You may just get one from M2M and see if you like it.
This way you can resell for what you paid in case it does not fit you well without loosing money.

Here's a pic of AP strap without insert and wraps nicely around my 6.2inch wrist. I ended up using a buckle as it's more comfortable than the deployment.<br />

Thanks for the pics, bud! I'm still thinking if I can pull off ROO without the XS strap.

Here's another 15400 on 6.5

@replicawatch21
XS strap is for 5.8" to 7" wrists.
standard strap that comes with Offshore Divers happens to be Large size instead of Normal size.
For 6" wrist I would have somehow make 2 or even 3 holes. Even so, it would still be unwearable because of how long the strap with buckle is.
This is why above I showed the pic of the buckle and where is sits on my wrist.
I'm afraid that unless you get XS strap, it may not work for you.

Your 15400 looks sweet, I'm really tempted to make it my next piece.

Get the 36mm version, seriously. The 15400 would look pretty ridiculous on you, since you have a 6" wrist. It's got a bigger dial than even an AP diver. Looks insane on me and I have 6.5".

 

[lfovco]

Hmm.. Interesting, I will try a gen on first to see if I like it. Thanks.

Inspired by silverclaw, I traded my 15400 for a 14790..

From this:

To this:

Pros:
The watch really sits larger than a 36mm on my 6.25" wrist, very classy yet not too overpowering. The caseback is also closed, a major plus for OCD guys like myself.

Cons:
The bracelet clasp isn't forgiving for small wrists. In fact I felt the double clasp of the 15400 sat better but the 14790 watch head won hands down. The dial also doesn't pop as much as the 15400, but still forgivable.

All in all, still pleased!

Wristshots:

Special thanks to silverclaw and trade party whom I shall keep anonymous out of respect for his privacy.
