So nice....but just don't fit.

The standard strap is even too big...

Even dressy is too big for me...

They are so nice though.

AP

texex91 · 18 August 2016, 12:02 PM

Well at least you tried them on...BTW they do make a short strap.

singe89 · 18 August 2016, 12:22 PM

Try a 15300 or 15202 in 39mm.

You might be able to pull off that diver on a XS strap.

masterserg · 18 August 2016, 01:58 PM

I think they look fine. Especially the diver with an XS strap. 15400 looks perfect (black dial wears smaller).

daytonaTBR · 18 August 2016, 02:02 PM

Diver looks fine to me. XS strap and it will fit just fine

Hairdude1 · 18 August 2016, 03:11 PM

Get the short strap!

Lordofrolex · 18 August 2016, 03:14 PM

What size wrist do you have. I have a 6.5" wrist. Have a 42mm ROO and I'm hoping it fits. Haven't tried it on yet as I haven't gotten my bracelet sized.

DCheeta · 18 August 2016, 04:35 PM

Doesn't look bad to me. The ROO models are designed to look big. To me, they look right on you.

benlee · 18 August 2016, 04:52 PM

You can get a XS strap for a better fit. ROOs are supposed to look big and IMO, any wrist size 6.2" or larger is OK.

fai9al · 18 August 2016, 06:06 PM

They actually look good to me!

mfer · 18 August 2016, 10:02 PM

I guess I should have expected all this enabling.

I have a 6.5" wrist. This 42mm AP wears bigger than a 47mm Radiomir which I'm fine with. Won't post pics here in AP, but just look at any of my posts in Panerai section. I think this watch might even wear bigger than a Pam 372. These lugs on this watch are really big.

I have had the same issue Mik with the lugs and why I have hesitated to get an AP. For our wrist sizes, IMO you have to go with a 15202 and when the bracelet is fitted properly should work nicely. Or as other members have said 42 Diver on short strap

csi-n · 18 August 2016, 10:37 PM

Actually I think it looks fine and would feel better with an XS strap. If this will be your first AP or ROO, you may just get used to it and its heft. If I were you, I'd give it a go.

Agree with the guys, ROOs are no shrinking violets and should have real presence, we got Rolex and PP for all the discrete prissy stuff

. They look OK on your wrists and the XS strap should be better.

anothernewphone · 18 August 2016, 10:36 PM

I really want to try on a black-dialed 15400, since I hear they "wear smaller" a lot. Between that and the Diver, I'm hoping that I'm not in the same boat as you! My wrist is about 6.75".

racxcoon · 18 August 2016, 11:19 PM

Did you try on the 15450?

⬆️⬆️⬆️ Agreed!! Have 6.5 inch wrist. Been wearing DSSD regularly and Just got into AP... Have 42 and 44mm. 42 on regular strap, and 1 extra hole made in the 44 strap...more pics if you want 'em

Richard, who made the extra hole in the regular strap? Pics would be great.

I made the hole. I cut it a little smaller than the original, about the same size as the pin.....wasn't sure about 'wear factor' or rubbing affect after making my own hole. So I started with it being a little smaller. Anyway...here's the tools and outcome. Very happy so far.

Good stuff, save the money on a new strap and have a nice dinner.

J_H · 18 August 2016, 11:31 PM

We have the same problem buddy, but I rock my diver anyways! LOL

GB-man · 19 August 2016, 01:24 AM

Diver can be done with short strap. Some embrace the fact that offshores should be oversized and others stick to the classical model of what's too big. I haven't quite figured out which camp I'm in

Offshores big, Onshores classic fit, aka ROs.

Vipes · 19 August 2016, 04:13 AM

Ceramic diver on a short strap is another consideration. It should wear smaller given the material and black color.

jrs146 · 19 August 2016, 01:47 AM

I think the 15400 looks just fine. The diver looks a bit big.

masyv6 · 19 August 2016, 02:07 AM

It's a little big, but I think you can pull it off.

You wouldn't have happened to have tried that on at Eiseman in Dallas, would you?

I knew it was Eiseman. I actually know the manager of the watch side of the house there. I'd be happy to refer you to him. He's a real WIS and is a pleasure to work with.

I actually had that ROO Diver on the other week. I had to employ all my self-restraint to not walk out of the store with it.

Yeah, they are great, treated me well. I don't think I'm excited enough to part with 19k (MSRP) for it. Not for lack of finish, refinement, but size on my smallish wrist.
