Ah nice, I'm thinking of getting an ap 15400 so it's good to know.

I like my watch a bit loose on my wrist, not a fan of tight fits as they both make my wrist look even skinnier and leave me with red marks from sweating, especially rubber straps.

Keep in mind that many people (including me) find the 15400 wearing larger than the Diver. If you're okay with that, go for it!

Wow, such a PAM-tastic thread! (Surprising as I thought PAMs were huge)
Wonder if theres a big difference on the wrist between the 45mm and 42mm radiomirs? Or is the feeling negligible?

Skinny Wrist Club thread, where we post ongoing wristshot details of our watches on our skinny wrists. This data can help our skinny purchasing decisions. Show us your old models and newest models. Sure you can post a large PAM, or DSSD, on a 6" wrist. That would be great to see! It may not be acceptable to some, but others may find it just right.

Here is the criteria to try to follow:

Let's see wrist shots of watches if your wrists are 6.5" (16.5cm) or less.
No ankle shots from you big boned monkeys [emoji6]

Please post your pics with the following:

  1. Brand/Model
  2. Diameter/Thickness
  3. Your wrist size (daily wrist sizes change slightly so try to measure for the picture you post)
Add any other SWC info you want to share.

As you may have benefitted in from this, please feel free to go back and add missing data to your posts to help fellow SWC members compare sizes and models.

Cheers!

I got an AP Diver on my 6.4" it is technically 42mm but wears much larger (think it's 47mm with crowns etc.), the lugs reaches the end of my wrist and I personally think it looks good.
It depends on how you like your watches looking and your wrist shape though.

I also got a skinny wrist and love my diver! I wouldnt go any bigger

Oh that's not bad at all, based on that wrist shot I suspect the 41mm 15400 to be of around the same size, bezel included at all.

Its not bad at all and it feels very comfortable for me, my wrist measures at 16cm which is 6.3 inches! And the diver looks pretty big also so i suppose you will not have a problem at all with a 15400 [emoji16]

I find the size of diver more comfortable than 15400. 15400 is slimmer than the diver. the chunky diver doesn't look as big as it is, and 15400 looks bigger because of it being slim. If you understand what I'm trying to say.
You can be comfortable with 44mm HBB, but 45mm HCF feels bigger than HBB.

Yes i totally understand! Interesting though!
Have you tried any 44mm AP's? If yes how do they wear and feel on the wrist compared to the Diver?

Haven't tried any 44mm AP. As much as I love some of them.
I did have a 42mm AP don ramon with Prof Crystal. And it was very workable size for how beautiful the watch was. I sold it. And since then I never went more than the diver.

I also has a 44mm panerai. Which wore similar to diver. And I got rid of it too.

Now I'm into smaller watches. 15450, Calatrava, aquanaut, 6263, DJ 36, etc.

I do crave for a HBB 44MM RG though.

You mean me?

I wanted to get a rep but I feel like the Bulova was build to higher standards. I especially dislike the rep president steel bracelets. Luckily it came with a original bulova president bracelet

Its also running a swiss ETA 2836

Its a gen Bulova Super Seville from between 1979 - 1985 (would have to open backcover but im guessing 79)
