Hi guys, my wrist is about 7.0 ~ 7.2 inches, however I am a short guy, only 5 ft 6 tall. Do you guys think the 44mm ROO will look too big and silly on me ? I feel that the ROC is a bit too small on my wrist.

redsubby · 29 December 2016, 06:24 PM

Looks big in this pic...and your wrist doesn't look 7.2~7.4 in..

williamx778 · 29 December 2016, 06:27 PM

I tried measuring my wrist the other day, my country does not use in, its around 19cm, maybe I got the conversion wrong?

I have 17,5cm or 6.9 inches, so if you really have 19cm it should be what you say, but did you measure like you need to, tight and at the right place? It looks big as well on the pic, don't look small at all, post pics with a 44 to see if you can try one

No, maybe just the pic....didn't think this watch would look big on 7.2-7.4 in wrist.

I uploaded a second picture, maybe I am wrong about my measurement for my wrist

19cm = 7.48” (19/2.54).
Whether your camera lens is adding some sort of perspective distortion or your wrist is thick rather than wide, the 42mm ROOC looks a bit too big.
You’ve also go it positioned too forward – try pulling it back up your arm a bit.

Take a profile shot looking down the length of your arm – that’ll show how the lugs sit in relation to the width of you arm at the point where the watch sits.

Is this pic okay? Maybe its because my arm is relatively short?

I am using the iPhone, using its 28mm lens, I guess there will be some distortion, or measurement I got my wrist measurement wrong

GolfPunk · 29 December 2016, 08:05 PM

No, the 42mm is actually too big for you, you need a Royal Oak Chrono in my opinion, not an Offshore.

Tomas Eriksson · 29 December 2016, 08:09 PM

The 42mm looks good on you, not to small! For a proper advice we would like to get a wristshot of a 44 on your wrist.

Have to agree - the 42mm looks really big as the lugs are over your wrist so I"d conclude that the 44mm will look clownishly big...just my 2c.

Lemieux66 · 29 December 2016, 09:08 PM

Did you take the wrist measurement around the wrist bone, by any chance? That might explain the confusion. As an earlier poster suggested, maybe try wearing the watch further up your arm, past the wrist bone. Either way, your current watch looks anything but small on you. My wrist is 6" and I'd love to get away with a ROO but sadly they just looks absurd on me. Got to be a 15450 for me.

masterserg · 30 December 2016, 12:47 AM

44 will be large on your wrist.

Ahmadq87 · 30 December 2016, 01:05 AM

It looks nice on your wrist

5Zigen · 30 December 2016, 01:08 AM

The 42 looks good on your wrist.

AK797 · 30 December 2016, 01:11 AM

I think the 42 will look fine pushed back up your wrist. The 44 will wear a bit big, but with a ROO, the ultimate sports watch imho, better big than small I say.

jem7v · 30 December 2016, 04:20 AM

why do you have it right up on your hand? Push the watch up a bit, then take a picture.

texex91 · 30 December 2016, 04:44 AM

IF you like it buy it. If I listened to what everyone else thought all of the time I'd never own anything.

I was quoted $2300 (CE) when my 44 was in service earlier this year.

I didn't, I have the non brushed bezel, and inquired about swapping it out... I love the brushed version, but not for $2300.
