I think
that only
important thing is what you think.
So what do you think? Is it too big?
If you doubt it obviously you are inclining towards yes answer....
There is no reason to worry especially not over what might other will say....
look he's wearing too big watch.... if I could afford it I would wear Big
Egiziano
daily no regardless what other might think.....
It's all in head as Andrew perfectly put it

Is it too big ??
Hi all, I am a new member and I recently purchased an AP ROO Rubber clad. Personally I think it is a gorgeous time piece and surprisingly it is pretty light compared to the non rubber versions. However, although I love the watch I'm afraid it might be too...
Not too bad...
Congrats on your acquisition! Honestly, it is bigger than "average" but it is not TOO big in my opinion. A lot of watches wear bigger than that (eg PAMs). I think the ROO is suppoed to wear big anyway so it looks ok to me. But obviously it's how it feels ...
I used to think I knew the answer ...
... to this question, but now I'm not sure. And like many things in life, it's what's going on in your head rather than on your wrist thats most important. ;-) My rule of thumb is usually if the lugs hang over the edge of the wrist it's too big, but it's ...
"Every time I strap one on I think I look like a clown"...
So: what's the RO got to do with that?????? ;-) Cheers, pplater.
OK. I'll continue with the counselling then ...
But you know what I mean. It's the big nose, orange hair (or yellow for the the Bumblebee) and big feet that I just can't pull off with the Offshore. A...
It is really a personal preference....
I agree with Andrew regarding lug placement on the wrist, In your case, it is borderline, but still acceptable in my opinion. Comfort is key. If it feels comfortable and secure when you get the short strap, you should be all set. Wear it in good health. D...
Position
Watchismo, I'd suggest you try wearing it proximal to the bone on your wrist (i.e., closer to the elbow). For reasons that elude me, we see many postings of watches worn over the bone, where they are more likely to wobble and cause discomfort. Every time ...
Definelty fits better
by pushing it back my wrist gained 1/4 inch. Can't wait to get the shorter strap. I think that will be the decision maker.
yes it's too big!...
...they make a smaller 1 w/c will be more appropriate for your wrist...
It looks just fine
and once you get used to the size, you will have a hard time going back to smaller watches. A least that is my experience. Congratulations on this great purchase, wear in good health. Best regards, George
I don't think it's too big
And if it is, it is supposed to be. Just as no one expect a small Cadillac, there cannot be small ROO, whatever our wishes are. Guess it's part of the ROO DNA. Don't fret about it, i used to, but have gotten used to it. If you think it looks huge and clow...
It's not...
Maybe give it one week or two to get used to with the size... I had the same experience with the first Panerai I bought about 3 years ago.. It has a 44mm case, and I thought it was huge... But I remembered it was only less than a month that I was used to ...

Fit nicely
I think you well it well. This is how you should feel. You wear to please yourself...that what really matter
It definitely is! I do acknowledge that ...
... we all have a distorted perception of what is wearable because a whole lot of watch brand CEOs and "ambassadors" are putting on watch-sizes with their formal wear that make them look like ambassadors of bad taste outside the horological world. But tha...
Too true!
I fully second your remark, Christian! Our perception of size and wearability is definitely influenced by what the brands try to sell us: "Big is beautiful". Somehow I remembered that phrase differently . Although our wrists did hardly grow, the case size...
Try it for a week on the short strap and you will know
Although I am not a big watch fan, I don't think purely as an "aesthetic" (if that term can even be applied to a watch such as this) matter it is too big. It is really a question of comfort and whether you will keep reaching for your (hypothetical) trusty...
Wear it with confidence.....
and a little swagger.... then everything will work it self out. Congrats Drew
Yes.
Hi watchismo, I fully consent AndrewD´s general remarks on size, case shape and its different perception. But if you ask for an outsider´s opinion, I join all those who say, it´s too large (and bulky) for your wrist. If you like it despite ...
Honestly, it looks a little big but the 15300 is not a solution
It has quite an uncomfortable bracelet for smaller wrists. Maybe the ROC with a leather strap. As somebody said before, wear it for a while and you will judge it for yourself. I am in almost the same situation. 14790 and 15202 are the most comfortable Roy...
Thanks Everyone...
I really appreciate the feedback. After much thoughts and consideration, I think that the size of the watch in contrast with my wrist doesn't bother me really. It's more the discomfort of how it sits on my wrist that annoys me. If I can make the watch a c...
