The 37mm is a great RO, much more than
an over big 41mm RO on a small wrist.
I have a 16mm wrist and thought the 39mm or the 15202 are a little too big for me.
Hence, I tried the 37mm and it looked perfect (even if it looks a little bit thicker, as the proportions must be different from the standard sizes).
It looks great on your wrist so that is what matters.
Cheers, Mark
AP Royal Oak 15450 PG 37mm
Dear all I don't have an AP yet... I like the RO especially the 15202 but it's too big for my small wrist (the case of 39mm is ok just the lugs design that was a problem). Recently I visited the Singapore AP boutique with 2 fellow PuristS and got to know ...
The wrist size of a man is not a problem!
And that's not at least a strategic measurement the ladies are monitoring. It's a fact that men have different sizes of wrists. I think the watch producers should respond to this fact by producing different sizes of watches. If the watch is too big, one w...
Lol Kari!
On what women look for lol Thanks for your feedback. Will mull over this Cheers Robin
AP RO Lugs
i have exactly the same technical constraint with AP RO lugs then i just bought a 37 case size perfectly fitting my wrist and very confortable to wear (you even forget that you have the watch). size does not matter, fitting and global consistency are most...
I would not be too concerned about what "they say" :-)
The 15450 is touted by AP as a unisex model, but I think if it suits and works to our wrist size and preference, that's all there is to it. It's a handsome watch and one that I liked enough to get one as you know and the size IMO is perfect for wrists 7" ...
Very nice on you Richard !
Let me check out the steel version with white dial too :) Thanks for your inputs! Cheers Robin

Thanks for sharing Mark!
I will try this steel white dial version too! It looks great on you! Cheers Robin
Robin, I would choose this reference all day long.
I happen to have a flat wrist and the 39mm Royal Oak fits me like a glove. But if I were to wear a different model, it would be the 15450. I have compared it directly with the 41mm 15400, and the proportions of the 37mm model are just about perfect and mu...
I hope to join someday Michael!
Thanks for your inputs! The PG from AP is superb! Cheers Robin
In my opinion..........
You like it, it fits you, it was made for you! No two ways about it;) From memory, you didn't look at all like a lady when we met:) Great choice Robin. Cheers Francois
Lol ! Thanks for reassuring me
That I don't look like a woman. Some of my wrist shots can be mistaken for a lady's wrist lol! Thanks Francois for your inputs :) Cheers Robin
Looks great!!
I have worn a 14790 for the longest time. I love how it fits... this 37mm looks great and I would jump on it!! Or, an alternative would be to look for a vintage AP RO 5402 which has a different bracelet feel - look out for one and try it, it just sits dif...
Great ideas!
Will check out some of the older models of AP ROs :) I wish AP does a 37mm blue dial version soon! Cheers Robin
How about a 36mm? ;)
Hi Robin, I think this looks great on your wrist, but possibly, maybe a bit on the big side. Have you considered older models? The RO 14790 came after the 5402 and before the modern models, was designed for men (not that this matters really), and sits clo...
Thanks Matt for your suggestion!
Indeed there are some 36mm AP ROs I should look at in the older collection Thank you for the idea Cheers Robin
36mm
is the perfect size for the RO. It lets the watch sit as it was designed. The larger sizes on smaller wrists cannot seat properly in my opinion. You probably guessed I have a smaller wrist, I think the elegance of any watch is the strap or bracelet, so th...
Thanks for your views!
Totally agree with you. Still considering this PG black dial 36mm version ) Cheers Robin
Very, very tempting.....
.. and yes, small wrist men could go for this, too! Definitely! Ken
Tempting indeed Ken!
For PG lovers like me, the PG in AP especially in the RO is irresistable ! Cheers Robin
The 37mm looks perfect on your wrist!
My experience with the RO's is that they look and behave on the wrist +-2 mm larger than their stated diameter. This has to do with the overall design and extended lugs and is even more pronounced in the versions with the steel bracelet. Best, Gerard
Agree Gerard
+2mm is a good estimate. Totally agree especially the steel bracelet ones Good to hear you think the 37mm is good on me :) Cheers Robin
This 37mm is unisex
I like it! And don't forget PP has 5140 37mm PC in men collection. Men, women...what difference does't it make? I would wear such a nice watch! Constantin
May I know your wrist size Robin?
I too have a smallish wrist 6.5" I think the 15450 fits you well. But my first choice is the jumbo 15202, do you have wrist shot of the jumbo?
My wrist size is around 6.3inches
The 15202 was too big for me due to the lugs and bracelet design. See this pic of the 15202 on my wrist. There is a big gap at the lugs at my wrist. Hope you have a chance to try it too :) Cheers Robin ...
Thank you for your reply
Honestly i dont think it looks big on you. Maybe the bracelet is just a tad loose thats why there's a gap? Try to have a more tighter fit. I myself have a 6.5" wrist And that won't stop me from wearing the jumbo :) i found if you wear it with some space y...
Your Wristsize.
Hey JrWong23 What is your wrist size, so that I can get some idea how it would look on my wrist! 15450 does not come with the iconic blue dial, this is stopping me from looking at buying 15450 seriously.
My wrist size
Is around 6.3 inches roughly. Very small :( Agree the iconic blue dial is very appealing ! Cheers Robin
