Can i pull it off???

Been checking out a couple of AP and about to pull the trigger on a deal with DavidSW...

I have a small wrist 6.2" so i was wondering if i could pull of a RG RC or stick with the 15400OR? the ad didn't have the 15400 so i can't try it on but it's 41mm and thinner so i figure it could fit me better.

Also, will i be needing to get a short strap or the regular one could work with my wrist?



or

I think you can certainly pull it off, but it does look a little big to me (I tend to wear smaller watches though (15400, Daytona, etc)).. And then there's the price difference, so all in all I'd probably stick with the RO. Good luck!

You'll need the short strap but it'll fit. 6.5" wrist here:

I prefer the second one you've linked (just by looks, havent seen either in the flesh) but the one on your wrist looks fine.

I'd say yes you can pull it off, but I prefer the other watch.

I'll choose the second one. Best fit could be the 39mm RO.

I'm also cursed with slim wrists, and IMHO a watch face that is as wide as your wrists is too big.

I think it's not whether u can pull it off or not. It's more of which is more comfortable for u. To be honest, both watches are using the AP deployant clasp so its not comfortable for us people with small wrist.

Thanks! I do too initially but i could not find an AD to try it on. When i tried the RC, i love the size and weight of it.

Thanks, i really have to find a place to try the 15400 on especially to feel the weight

Appreciate your comment. I wear a PAM 312 which is 44 and it looks ok I guess i could not take my mind off from the design and weight of the RC

True and i agreed. The AD i went do had the watch completely wrap so i could not get an idea to actually try it on.

Interesting thread. I have a 6'' wrist and wear a PAM 292. I can just pull that off, because of it's black color which makes it appear smaller and also because of the way the strap is connected to the watchcase.

I agree think this is the perfect watch for you. I can just about pull off the RG RC but my wrist is over 7 inches. Lugs should not hang over the end of your wrists or with gold esp youll look like one of those little teenage rappers, like Tinie or Tinchy.

I would not recommend that you buy the rubberclad just yet

As it looks too big for you right now.

Ever seen a 44mm Schumacher look too small?

You can probably pull off either one but I'd go for the 41mm. It will likely be a better fit. Both are great though.

Get the rgrc. My wrist is about 6.25" and the rgrc looks perfect on it. Better slightly bigger than smaller. Also you will fall in love with the rgrc once you own it.
