Sorry, but your wrist is way too small for these kind of watches imho.
If you ever buy a RO don't buy the 15400 it's also going to be too big for you.
A 15300, 15202 or even a 15450 will probably will look much better on your wrist.

You're absolutely correct and I agree completely those two pieces are a bit too big for my wrist and your suggestions would be much better fit. I just can't resist having the offshore and especially the diver.

Thanks Gus & Nick.

Watchcentric, I must follow my heart. But really, I can't pull off anything bigger than the 42mm AP's.

Logan, yes I caught the madness. :)
Thanks, I'm thinking about getting the same watch, my only fear has been it's too big, but it looks good on you!

Thanks mate! I recall your wrist is 6.75" (on your thread) so you should have no problem.

Hi Phong, many congrats on acquisition of this beautiful Diver.

You are not alone on this AP-addicted journey and I feel for you.

Sooner or later you will bite by the AP bug again for a RO, cheers!

Congrats! Two beautiful watches! I'm hoping to join the ap club soon as well.

Glad you decided to go with the offshore rather than what would like right.

Yes the diver does look a little too much for your wrist .. But if you enjoy it and its not uncomfortable then why not?

You're exactly correct the diver is slightly too big and fits slightly more loose than I'd hoped for. But I made the decision and am extremely happy with it. Thanks for your honest opinion.
