Look into 15300 or if you like chrono 26300, they will fit you perfectly. You have to be comfortable with what you wearing.

Get a ROO tapered strap in XS. It will fit much better. You will need to purchase a smaller buckle as well. Try a search on the AP forum.

Had the same experience with the Diver and 42mm ROO models when I've had a chance to try them on at an AP boutique. You (well, we, since I'm in the same boat as you, having 6.3 inch wrist) have the following choices:
1) Get the Diver, and forget about it being too big. ROO is all about the boldness, the statement. It's not excessively big, just a bit too large on your wrist. "In the wild" I don't think you'd get comments on it being too large, and not many people would think it's too large for you. But it's important that you felt comfortable wearing a watch that suits you. So if you feel it's too large, then you should skip it. 2) Get a pre-loved black (ceramic or FC) Diver. A black case will always look smaller. I can sport a black ceramic 44mm Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon easily, but the same watch made of steel would be too large. 3) Get a 39mm RO, like a pre-loved 15300 or a 15202. It's not on a rubber strap though, so much less sporty as the Diver. And even the 39mm RO may be a bit too large due to the lug shape. 4) Get a 37mm RO 15450 if you're fine with the white dial. It would be a perfect fit, but it would also be the least sporty choice of them all. I'd probably go this way as long as the 15450 was available with a dark dial. White dial RO/ROO is not for me.

Look ok to me. For me, AP I can accept if it's little too big.
Xs strap would help.

I would look into the 15202 or the 15450.

I think it looks great...if it feels like it's too big, just increase your sodium intake!

I would gladly buy a 15450 if they came with a black dial! I have two watches, both with white dials already.
