Some say it’s too big for my wrist, but I just love it and it’s my first AP.

Can anyone who has a AP ROO 42mm of any size do a size comparison with a 15202 or Submariner? Could you take a pic like this? Thanks

Well this is a standard 42mm offshore against a 15202, the 26170 is almost double the thickness. @Reaps

Thank you so much. If I could like your post twice I would. Really helpful in determining fit.Well this is a standard 42mm offshore against a 15202, the 26170 is almost double the thickness. @Reaps
Remember that the AP ROO 42 rep is thicker than gen since it needs room for the 7750. Wears much bigger than a Royal OakCan anyone who has a AP ROO 42mm of any size do a size comparison with a 15202 or Submariner? Could you take a pic like this? Thanks

I tried on gen ROO 42mm from a friend, its suprisingly wearable, but I agree, the rep thickness makes it more difficult to wear, which is why I'm also planning to find someone to case back thin the rep for me, remove deco + replace rotor, i want to try and get it to 14.5mm or less..

You’re saying it is possible to remove the rotor and deco plate when 42mm ROO have no deco plate to begin with?? Maybe I’m remembering wrong but no such deco plate on these lol.
The JF ROO reps do have deco plates. So typically to achieve a sub 15 thickness these plates are removed and the decorated rotor replaced with a thinner and plain ETA one.. however this typically creates the issue of the rotor being too light and ineffective in auto-charging the watch movement.

I have a large wrist so I find them to fit well. But if you're wearing it with a dress shirt, the RO tucks in easier.
I do prefer the Noob ROO to the JF ones in general. They made several models which were rather accurate.
They also made some that were breathtakingly horrible
Indeed true. And like idiots we used to snap them up then given the lack of choicesThey also made some that were breathtakingly horrible
Awesome 15500 with deep crystal, shitty iPhone XS camera.
Here a small 15450st 37mm with a GMT.

Your wrist is around my size and I fully agree. But I just accept the overhangHere a small 15450st 37mm with a GMT.

. I wear 44mm and 42mm Panerai. And honestly since I workout, big watches look fine when in mirror and in a body shot since my forearms and biceps fit with the watch.I can understand ! The point of view is important you've right. What you see from the top is different than what people see. I just like to see a bit of the strap from the top but it's me. I'm not a small guy (a good shape 191cm/6.3ft and 90kg/200p), so it's only about taste or style you've right. As long as people are warned when purchasing an AP to avoid surprises.Votre poignet fait à peu près ma taille et je suis entièrement d’accord. Mais j'accepte simplement le surplomb
It’s those shoots who make me buy a 37mm :
