I guess 15400 is discounted,
What about 15450?
I've not tried it yet, but 37 mm may be the perfect match.
I've owned 14790,14802 and 15202; the Jumbo IS the RO, but i must admit the size is a bit excessive, because of the integrated bracelet.
Don't get me wrong, RO is still the watch i've loved the most and the one i regret to have sold (to my bro), but i guess 37 mm is the best size for 18-19 cm wrist like mine.
It wears like a strap, although it is an integrated steel bracelet .
Available on the marketplace
only if it feels too big to you, is it too big.
I wear watches between 35mm and 42mm. The 42mm feels smaller on my wrist than one of the 39mm ones merely because of the height of the case and how the lugs curve. So, for me, a watch depends on many factors but ultimately how it feels to you. The fact th...
but then......
.......if it feels perfect to you (and to my eye it looks perfect), then great....it is!!
too big......
...i am also wondering whether the RO 41 is too big for my small wrist. a pic is attached and another one with my patek 5711R for comparison purposes. ...
How do you feel other models?
I don't like the 15400 because of its case back, movement too small compared to the case's diameter.
Here's the 15202
Also good size. Traditional and conservative. I see more bracelet than watch face. But expensive even for SS. ...

15400 is still available but hard to find. 15202 is even harder.
They kept 39mm exclusive. So entry level are the unusual size of 41mm and 37mm
Well it was fine when I tried it.
But I just read that too many people prefer the 39mm. Actually their wrist shots with the 41 were terrible unlike mine. Too bad the 15300 was discontinued. Without considering community input I’m fine with 41
If that was true, then you’d not be asking our opinion then. It’s obvious that you’re not wholly convinced, and in my opinion, it’s marginal when viewed in isolation.
Having seen the 15202 on your wrist as well, it becomes all the more obvious that its size is just that bit more suitable or appropriate for your wrist shape/circumference. If buying pre-owned isn’t beneath you, then have a look on Chrono24 at some of the...
In my experience
If you worry about the fact that it might be too big, then in 95% of the cases it is too big.
Maybe. Time will tell.
I can rock a Panerai. This one is so much thinner and comparably easy on the wrist.
Scratches
If the scratches do not bother you your fine. A smaller size would not protrude as much and impact less objects.
Nope, looks fine in the photo.
Of course, to just see a shot does not answer all the questions related to how it feels, is the clasp comfortable for you, do you like the thickness, etc. It is hard to compare any Royal Oak to the iconic 39mm "jumbo" (the current reference 15202 is calle...
15450?
Hi Sir, had this same question a couple of months back. The 15202 fits perfectly on my wrist but was looking to add a more daily wearer RO to the collection. The 15400 is just too big if you have an average sized wrist. Ended up going for the 15450, the 3...
Thanks. Looks like a new option.
I have yet to try the 15450. And maybe also the 14790.
Wide angle close up misleading....?
...Always makes the watch look bigger on your wrist than reality. But I believe it looks like the bracelet is not following your wrist and is locked on minimum radius curvature? The whole point of this piece is to F L O W over your wrist like silk not wea...
The 14790.
So apparently smaller RO works well too. A discrete and comfortable piece. Though the clasp width is really dainty if it matters. Probably the smallest I can go. Won’t have a problem with the 15450, which is slightly bigger, based on this. Here’s the dual...
