Is 37mm ok?
AP 15450. ZF should be the one to go with, although APSF also does very good royal oaks

Hey, thanks for the reply , im a small wrist gang kind of guy , 37 i think would be the limit , know any td who got it and can ship it to italy ?

Ask any TD. It's their job to make it through customs, some will also refund/replace in case of seizure.
Supermirrors has stock in Italy, check his section here in RWI. Unlikely he would have such a model there though.
Remember, use only RWI'S TDs from our section, don't ever Google them.

How many cm does your wrist approximately have and how is it shaped (very round or more oval)?

39mm is the "original" size of the first RO, if I'm not mistaken, so it's the classic size of a classic 70s watch.

A 37mm case size is nowadays considered a uni-sex or even a female size. But as a small wrist guy myself, I also wear vintage pieces as small as 33/34mm without issues, but I can also sport modern sports watches with up to 45mm.

It also depends on the wrist shape as well, not just the pure circumference. My slightly-below-16cm wrist is oval / flat, so my personal perfect size is 39 to 41 for the Royal Oak.

i think we have the same wrist ~16 cm and super flat , you might be into something, would love to see how does it fit on yours to have an idea .

Sure.

So, I currently have a blue-dial 15500 ZF V3 which is 41mm.

As you can see, above and below the bezel, there is still plenty of "arm surface" and also beyond the edges, where the endlinks are underneath after the crinkle, it's not forming any "empty spaces" with the bracelet hovering one cm away, but instead it fits as intended by the design.

Now, I really think a 37mm case would work as well, but my point is that a larger 39 or 41 case doesn't always have to necessarily be too large.

At the end of the day though, it's all about personal taste. If you feel that's too large for your taste, there's nothing wrong with that either...

Congrats , that piece looks amazing! After seeing it i think a 39 mm would fit me perfectly, feel like 41 a lil bit too large for my taste. Thanks again for helping

Welcome to the Forums.

It all depends on your frame and size of the wrist. I believe 39mm should sit well on a men's wrist for sure.

41mm in my opinion isnt too huge too. Many guys can even carry off well a 44mm Panerai with a not so huge wrist.

You can probably go to a local AD store or second hand watch shop that sells genuines and try one on to test on the appearance.

Cheers
