AP 26315ST on 6.75inch wrist

I just received my new AP 26315ST Blue Panda and was concerned on the size. I have it on my wrist and what do you all think. My wirst is approx. 6.75 inches. Does it look properly proportioned, too small etc.? Just looking for some general opinions.

Looks great. I was surprised on the bracelet sizing. I’m 6.5 and may only need 1 link out (if that). Is yours too tight?

Thanks!! I agree on the bracelet. I have never had a watch that did not require any sizing and all links were used. This is the case with this watch. I literally put it on and it was perfect. This is not a bad thing!!

AP 26315ST on 6.75inch wrist

Just went to the AP boutique a couple of days ago to try both the 26331st and 26315st. Both the SA and I felt the 26331st is more suitable for my 6.75 inches wrist as the 26315st wears small on me. For a sporty watch like the ROC, I would prefer it to wear larger and bolder.

I wrestled with that as well. Here is a photo with my 15500. I have times where I look at my wrist and it felt large. This is why I decided to go with the 38mm and to me it wears similar to my Daytona in size but with a bit more perceived thickness overall. Also, I do love the Blue Panda dial.

I also had the 15500, but downgraded back to the 15400. I think the thinner bezel, and shorter hour markers made the 15500 dial too open/empty and visually make the 15500 appear larger than the 15400, even though both are 41mm.

On the other hand, after trying out the 26331, I felt that it appears smaller compared to the 15400 and 15500 due to the relatively thicker bezel and sub-dials.

Does anyone think the 41mm 26331 would have been a better choice based on the wrist shots I included?

you can go all the way to 44mm ROO so 41mm shouldn't be an issue. I personally like to wear the watch a little snug and slightly higher up at the narrowest part of the wrist behind the bone that sticks out so the watch doesn't move at all but not everyone wears like that. you may try to remove one set of link and if thats too tight order 'half-links' from boutique.

No, it looks perfect size. Don't forget these things wear much bigger than the size is typically measured vs say the Rolex sizing.

Speaking from personal experience, I think the 41mm 26331 would look better on a 6.75 inches wrist like yours and mine. Then again, you have both 38mm and 41mm ROs in your collection so that gives you some variety. Perhaps it would be better if you can arrange an appointment with the AP boutique to try the 26331 and see how it wears on your wrist.

It wears like a classically sized Daytona. Not a bad thing, but I sold my Daytona bc I thought it was too small on my 6.85 wrist. I have both 15400 and 26331 and would never consider this piece. For me 26331 is perfect.

6.75 inch wrist here as well. Proportion wise i would say its very close or slightly smaller than a daytona so if you are looking for a daytonaish size its spot on . I wish the bracelet didnt taper as much but i just couldnt resist the beautiful panda dial! I did order an extra link as the bracelet is just too snug for me with the existing links.
