Nope, I have a larger wrist, sorry I might have been unclear, this is my own watch on my wife's. She has a 16cm wrist that's why it looks that loose and not adjusted...

TLDR: The XF will fit you. My wrist is flat on the top and measures 15CM with the Ikea Measuring Tape wrapped taut.
An AP will certainly not wrap around your wrist like a Daytona would. But removing all links, it's tight enough to stay put on my wrist and not slide around (gap at the side of course).
No one has said it's too big on my wrist, but it's up to you as to how you like your watches to fit.

Thank you for the info. It's actually rare (and a bit comforting) to find out there's someone with a smaller wrist than mine.
Unfortunately the video you posted is private, we can't have access to it. Could you repost it? It's gonna be very helpful to see in 3D how 15202 fits to wrist as small as ours!

I realised the uploaded quality looks horrible. And of course that was taken in the best angles possible so you wouldnt have seen the true gap.
I will take a pic of the gap between the bracelet my wrist tmr if I have the time.
If it helps in the meantime, I've had the 26331, 15400, 15300, dual time, 25860, 26300 and 15450 on my wrist previously as the integrated bracelet size was a concern to me in my hunt.
The 26331, 15400, 15202 & 15450 have the latest AP clasp - its a dual rectangular fold with the words "Audemars Piguet" on a sandpaper-ish surface and a square logo finishing clasp.
My wrist could take the new clasp style despite some of them being 41mm. This is because with the dual rect fold, somehow it wraps itself around my wrist more.
In summary, as long as it is the new bracelet style, it will fit your wrists no problem. Just how much you tolerate the gap when viewed from the angle if you lift your arm straight out infront of you.
If you're looking for the gap, it's gonna be there, but when wearing it, its light and you wont get an ill fitting feel at all. No one's gonna hold you hand and inspect if your watch fits or not anyway.

Hi all,
What a great thread, thinking about ordering this model and was wondering if it is possible to get a rubber strap for it and if anyone had done this?
Thanks!

Here we go
Basically the answer is NO
XF has a different case construction than 15300, 15400 and also Quartz 15202.
The eBay rubber that is compatible with 15400 does not fit well with XF 15202.
The AP Bands strap and plots fits better but not 100% ok
Let the pictures talk. (And sorry for the bad quality)
The screws of the case are really different from the “regular” ones, no idea how is the Gen, maybe some gentleman here that have the Gen can let us know.
And AP BANDS strap and plots. A little better.
This are made to be 100% compatible to Gen 15300 and 15400. (If it would be a must this would be my route)
But, if you want the rubber yes or yes, then forget XF and go for Quartz model, it is perfect here. But of course Quartz is worst quality and for example the date window is an easy tell.

Amen to that !!!!!!
They have such a lack of taste and a level of ignorance that is sadly debilitating....
