The 15300 - Size?

I'm thinking about upgrading my 36mm Royal Oak to the 39mm 15300.

But I'm not sure about the size! And the only AD in town just recently stopped selling AP, so there is no possibility to try one.

My wrist size is about 6,5 inches..

And I should mention that I'm not a big fan of huge watches... The 40mm Rolex sports watches fit me perfectly...

What do you guys think? Is it too big?

Just perfect. It wears like a 40mm though.

You're good. I have 39mm, 40mm, 45mm, and 47mm in my collection. Wrists are 7.25" and the 15300 is still one of my favorites. Good Luck!

Great collection, love them all -

I love larger watches as well - but I could not come to terms with the new 41mm AP as well.

Thank you! You're the first person I've run across on TRF with a 15300 and the same size wrist as me. Let alone with other watches similar to what I already own.
