If there was just one AP to own..
For me the 5402 would be it..
Do torture us with some pics to let us know what we're missing!
Perhaps..

Nicolas, The pictures are of the watches with links already removed.. Unsized it is even worse! Deep down I probably know 39mm is too big, but am deluding myself and refusing to accept defeat.. Lol

I do indeed recall reading a post of you selling your COS.. Is that the reason why? Have you come back to AP then? And may I ask the size of your wrist and your solution?
Thanks

for the tip Radone.. For the above pieces I just let the jeweller size them for me, did not specially ask for clasp to be below the centre.. If I go for a smaller RO I would probably go for the 15450.. Fits perfectly without much effort.. Just wish the di...
I had the same problem...

Reason why I said "had" instead of "have" is not because I found a solution. It's because I gave up wearing a royal oak. I too have a 6 inch wrist and the closest one that I got to having a good fit is the 39 mm chrono. I did not try the 37mm as I don't w...
Finally..

a fellow 6 inch wrister.. Our species are few and far between! I initally "gave up"as well and bought a Nautilus 5711.. But after some think I started hankering after an RO again.. Was the 39mm ROC too poor a fit for you to "settle"?
Well

I also opted to get a 5711 instead. Still waiting for mine to arrive though. I tried my friend's 5711 and the fit is so much better. For the RO, I really like the dial of the ultra thin jumbo with the AP logo near 6 o clock. Not too fond of the chrono tha...
Congrats

On your incoming 5711! You will find its a real dream to wear.. Agreed on Rolex and PP catering to our wrist size better. I'm a fan of vintage Rolex as well and a gilt 5513 is a target as well. Don't rule out Lange too, which I adore as well ;)

Thanks for the timely reminder of the Datograph.. Need friends like you to keep my impulses in check, haha. The Datograph is a distant grail.. So distant that in the meantime it's hard not to get distracted by more attainable targets. However I do feel th...
Richard,

I do remember your post, and it was what put the 15450 on the radar for me.. Its not a slight to the 15450 that I'm trying to get the 39mm version.. It's a beautiful watch indeed.. I do have a feeling that at the end of the day, it is the RO that I will e...
Nice..

That fits you beautifully Luis.. I think in the world of Royal Oaks, as little as 0.2 inches makes all the difference! For me I'd like to get a white dial, firstly for variety from the nautilus, and also to match my wife's white dial ladies RO!
Thanks Michael

for the resounding support behind the 15450.. Indeed i have heard that the proportions of that watch, not just from the size, are pretty much perfect.. If the Jumbo fit me, that would without a doubt be my choice as well.. Perhaps spending more time with ...

Offshores

are not for me.. Tried so much to love the Panda ROO but eventually sold it. I know the titanium might be lighter, but can't get past the size on the wrist for a watch I'm hoping to wear very often in many settings..
I'm 1 step behind you

I haven't splurged on a ROO yet. I really like the chunky, masculine lines on the ROO but like you, I find them too thick and blocky on our twig-like wrists. The RO's are more our cup of tea, I think. The dual times and the chrono RO's appeal to me. Howev...
