So how big is the AP Diver?

[SOLEX]

I have been wanting a new AP Diver v2 for a while now, but was scared of the heft and large size. My wrist is really small, about 6"-6.25". So I have been very limited my entire "rep life"

However some dealers are saying 42mm x13mm , and some are saying 44mm x 15mm so I do not know what to think.

Here are a couple of links, so you see what I am talking about.
Puretime says 42mm x 13mm http://puretimewatch.com/product/royal-oak-offshore-diver-ss-black-dial-v2-a2836/

PTSwiss says 43.5mm x 15mm http://ptswisswatch.com/audemars-pi...ack/product_info.php/cPath/24/products_id/282



Now heres the kicker, I have a Sinn that I just bought and it is sized 44mm x 15mm supposedly, and it seems to fit nice but I can go a bit smaller imho. Please see photo attached.

So I want to put this to bed and maybe even place an order for an AP Diver v2. While were on it, is the AP ROO chrono much bigger than the diver?

Thanks in advance!

PS I was also checking out the Hublot Ice Bang but I think its way too chunky for me.

Go for the AP Diver, I believe it is 42mm.
To me after wearing some 'big' watches, this one wears average size to me-not too big and not too small.
I will try to post a wrist shot later.

I've got a 6.5 inch wrist and it looks awesome, the problem however is that the strap barely fits me on the last hole so you'd have to use a scalpel and slice another hole for a wrist any smaller than mine.

Yikes, what if I get the SS band?

Shirazi, do you feel it is truly a 42mm watch? I don't want it to look ultra chunky.

I wonder how it compares to a Sub (16610 non ceramic) because I have one of those as well

Not a true 42mm watch by any means. The lug to lug is 55mm so it wear bigger than a sub by a fair ways. I'd say it wear like a 44mm Luminor PAM.

I've heard the SS band works for smaller wrists but if yours is 6 inches, you might have trouble with it.

It fits 6.5 just a bit loosely.

I bought a AP ROO bracelet for it, and its too loose :/

It wears like a 44mm and it looks like a 46mm Navitimer

Thanks for the info but it sounds BIG! Not huge, but I have had a PAM 111 before and it wasn't that bad on me.

The only thing I can think of is to try one at an AD

quite the difference...

Thanks crossbones I think it's goin to be too big on me

Maybe I'll look into the standard AP jumbo but that damn case back is killing it.

 

[crossbones]

Thanks crossbones I think it's goin to be too big on me

I dont think so man..
It wears much smaller than one might think.

I say go for it

 

[SOLEX]

Lol every time I get a Pam or breitling etc I sell because I think they look too freakin big. I do like the brushed case it tones it down a bit.

If you say it's decent I might take your advice. I'll first try stalking the classifieds and if I get desperate I'll hit up one of the dealers.

I agree with CB, the watch wears quite a bit smaller than a regular ROO due to its slimmer case. I think pretty mcuch anyone can wear the watch without that "huge watch!" worry

 

[SOLEX]

Is it comparable at all to the Sinn u1 I posted a photo of?

unfortunately I havnt ever tried a Sinn on. I want a u1 though...

42x13 mm is the correct size
It will fit perfect your small wrist IMO

I've got the 42mm RG RC and it wears smaller than I thought it would, quite compact in fact for my 7 inch wrist, so I think the Diver will be fine esp considering Big watches are in now.
