I have a 6.7 inch wrist and was wondering if a royal oak offshore diver with the short AP strap could work? Thoughts?

bund · 14 March 2019, 02:44 AM

I think regular strap should work too. Have you try it on. I am about same wrist size as you and I wear it on the regular strap.

Tomas Eriksson · 14 March 2019, 02:48 AM

regular strap should work just fine.

Mr Kram · 14 March 2019, 02:57 AM

yep, should be just fine.

HauteHorlogerie · 14 March 2019, 02:58 AM

For sure.

Stig722 · 14 March 2019, 03:34 AM

Tried it on at the AP AD. Had to use the last hole on the regular strap and it was ever so slightly lose. Shorter strap would probably be perfect. Just felt that the watch itself was very bulky for my small(ish) wrist.

I think it’s a lot more than wrist size alone that matters.

Hand size, arm size and body size all matter equally.

My wrist is 6.5” and on the regular strap I’m either on the 2nd or 3rd to last hole. But I don’t like it tight. The final hole is strangulating.

You can see from the photos how the size impression varies with angle and distance.

Thought those were random images of different people. Wow! You weren't kidding when you said it varies

Definitely can

Haha no all me. It gets worn a lot in all manner of places - if you’re happy with how it looks from your time telling perspective and in total body size context then it’s all good !

Stig722 · 14 March 2019, 11:10 PM

Anyone have any further thoughts?

wulin · 15 March 2019, 04:27 AM

6.7 inch is not exactly thin... You should be fine.

DCheeta · 15 March 2019, 04:41 AM

On my 6.5” wrist with the standard length strap. I think it’s very comfortable, even on a relatively small wrist like mine.

A short strap is not going to change the look of the watch, just allow you to not have to go so far up the strap to get it tight. 42mm is 42mm.....

My wrist isnt much larger than yours, 7" flat.

ppalasthira · 16 March 2019, 01:36 AM

You have to try it on. For me it had too much case overhang.

+1. I feel if the case is hanging over your wrist, its too big.

Triumph_1200 · 16 March 2019, 02:47 AM

Wrist measures 6.75 and I found the regular rubber one hole too big. I’ve since switched to the bracelet which was a perfect fit with 3 links removed. Awesome on either!

I’m kinda glad that I didn’t pull the trigger. Because if I did, it would become another flipper by now.

But I still lust over the watch nonetheless.

You made the right move. I love mine but the more 40mm pieces I acquire, the more I feel this one is too big. I'm going to keep it for this summer and see how it goes. Might get rid of it depending.

Some unsolicited advice: don't get rid of it.
It's a great piece and you've got the wrist size to pull it off.

wisguy · 16 March 2019, 12:28 PM

I tried and sold after a month, regular strap on a sub 7 inch wrist means last hole and the watch looked just too big for me.

Thanks, Bruin. We will see, I do love it and hope the summer will bring it some love again.

I think the short strap helps a lot at 6.75".
