So I recently received my ZF 15202 from TD and I love it. Quality is top notch!

I have 6.75 inch wrists and I’m wondering if how the bracelet sits on my wrist is due to my wrist shape. There’s gaps between my wrist and the lugs and first link. I’ve never handled a gen 15202 so I don’t know if this is how a gen would sit on my wrist as well.

Maybe integrated sports watches like the RO isn’t for my wrist shape, but I wanted to see if others had experienced this as well.

The AP 15450 or smaller AP models might fit on your wrist better, but that's just a guess. AP Royal Oak models tend to have a longer lug to lug dimension compared to watches with the same diameter.

Thanks. I just assumed that the 15202 at 39mm would be a good fit. Guess I’ll be on the hunt for a 15450 now lol.

Yes, due to the smaller angle lug shape of the 15202 it wears thin wrists similarly to 41 mm ROs. 15450 wears definitely smaller on wrists. If you want to avoid those gaps between your wrist and the watch lugs then the 15450 would be your best choice imho.

Thank you for your insight! I’ll just enjoy the 15202 for now. Need to give my wallet a break lol.

I can assure you that it’s normal. I have a similar sized/shaped wrist and the gen 41 and 39mm Royal oaks fit the same way. Don’t worry about it.

It's the eternal Royal Oak slim wrist frustration - we love this watch but the design doesn't lend itself well to our anatomy.

After debating for a long time, I'm now going to order an APSF 15450 from C Time. 6.5" wrist here.

I think after I enjoy this 15202 for a bit, I’ll probably sell and do the same as you. The white dials have really been speaking to me!

Yep, just emailed CTime with request to buy, debated about the blue vs. white dial for some time, white dial won out.

From reading posts, I understand there may be some delays from the factory, but I'm willing to wait - been collecting reps for over 20 years now, and I have a lot of patience.

From what I’ve been reading APSF makes the best 15450 correct
