Deep down I really want to own a Royal Oak for long. But 99% of their model are just too big for my tiny (sub-6”) wrist. I went to an AP boutique today and tried on the 15450st. What do you think about the fit of this 37mm Royal Oak on my wrist? Many than...  

I would go for it !

Maybe also some adjustment by the dealership. I bought a 36mm Quantieme Perpetual recently. I have a medium sized wrist I’d say and can also wear large watch if I want. But the Royal Oak looks great on my wrist I reckon. Smaller watches are coming back! ...  

Or alternatively, the cool Arabic military dial said to be a likely collector's piece going forward. Also 36mm! OR if spending up a bit near the price you'd have paid for a new model you can purchase a rare 14790ST in Yves Klein Blue ! Should be possible ...  

Can you try an old 14790? Nevertheless i think it would fit the same

Go for it

It may look fine, but is it going to actually be comfy and operate as a RO should? That is the question. I think size wise it looks ok...... just. Some of the older pieces of smaller size may work better for you if you can find a nice example. So the look... 

...but then again anything goes these days. If it doesn't turn on the wrist its almost acceptable (not the best fit but goes)

I have a similar problem. For me the fit of the bracelet is key to being able to wear a watch comfortably. If the bracelet/strap is snug, the watch will not slide up and down the wrist or rotate to the underside while being worn.

You may need a 1.5 link to get an ideal fit, but other than that, go for it man!

....you don't want the watch to overpower or subdue you. Its like wearing sz 12 shoes when you are 5' tall. Proportions matter ...  

I have the same watch and it just fits nicely my 6.75” wrist.

But if you're in love, go for it. Just be prepared to compromise comfort. Cheers, John

We are still talking 37mm (only)! Don‘t think too much, go for it! I have a 16cm wrist, I would take the same model! 👍🏻🍀☀️😉

I think it looks good on you, the main thing is comfort.

...are no one to make an effort worthwhile. Charge 20k for a steel watch and still belittle you. Cartier used to travel continents to sell his jewelry now there is a line up outside the store to get in and no services r promised. or Maybe the luxury has j... 

If feels / wears well to you, then by all means!

maybe you could find one and try on before you decide. Maybe a dealer has one or you can meet a collector who has one. From your picture it looks too big. I feel your pain. I have very large wrists and there a watches I dream of but they just don’t make a... 

As others have said, the Royal Oak on bracelet wears large for its size and I think a 33mm to 36mm version would fit you well. BTW - your 34mm Roger Dubuis chronograph looks like it was made specifically for your wrist, it looks awesome on you, I think th... 

I will try to see if I could get hold of a 36mm RO. And I share your opinion that the vintage watches will suit me well (and they are usually less sought after so less expensive).

I can't say nicer than a 39mm, which for me is the most proper size fore a Royal Oak. But this one has awesome proportions, I like it much more than the 41mm version. Keep us posted.

I think AP overstretched the 15400. The subtlety for me is that bracelet of the older versions was thinner which helped the flow of the whole experience.
