15202 for 6" wrist?
I might have got the opportunity to get one 15202 from a frd recommended dealer paying much lower premium than market. But base on wt i read in this forum, seems 15202 is a bit too big on my tiny 6" wrist, and 15450 is the legit choice.
I do love the sleek feeling and the dial of 15202 more and the great history. Should i give up those and go for a better proportional look on my wrist? can you really tell the 2mm difference? Here's a snap of 15450 on my wrist. Anyone has similar wrist size and wears a 15202? plz post ur wristshot!! Last edited by teks066; 15 October 2019 at 04:30 AM.. Reason: . |

I also have a similarly sized wrist and went with the blue 15450. The lug to lug size on the 15202 was just way too big on me in my opinion.

I have 6.5" wrists and whilst I could carry off a 15202, the 15450 is the right size for me.

I have a 6.3-6.5 inch wrist and the 15202 was fine. I have a very flat wrist and I think this helps. I now have a 15300 and it is a perfect fit for my wrist. A wrist 6in and under then I would stick to 37mm.

AP wears big at any size. 6 inches is pretty small, so I would go a size down in AP to what you normally wear.

I have 6" wrists and owned the 37mm model it fit perfectly. The others were two big as the way the lugs work made the bracelet stick out past my wrist.

I think I need to try on a 15202 myself first.
Would love to see any shots of 15202 on a small wrist tho!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Definitely try it on. The angle that the bracelet comes off of the lugs is less acute than the 15400 and 15450 so depending on your wrist shape, you may have gaps between your sides of your wrist and bracelet even if it sits against the front and back of your wrist.

Probably 450 is best but you could get away with the 202.

I'm probably at around 6.5 and prefer 15450. The 15202 looks fine but the flare of the bracelet at the lugs made the watch give me an ill-fitting feeling.

They wear big even on a 6.5” wrist which I am. On a 6” wrist unfortunately it is gonna look huge so stick with the 37mm

Man if you have access to a blue dial 37mm at close to retail, I think it's a much better fit for you. There's even a bit of lug overhang in the picture above, but I think AP, like Panerai, is meant to look big and have a lot of wrist presence.
Buy a Rolex or dress watch with the difference or something, idk.

Hit the gym or get the 15450. 15202 is wayyyyy to big for you. Be it you win, the 15450 is cheaper and more easy to source.

Stick with the 15450, or hunt a 14790.
Also got just over 6" wrists myself, and as beautiful as the 15202 is as a watch, it is wayyyy to large on smaller wrists. |

I think I just need to accept the sad fact that 15202 is too large.....

I have similar or slightly larger size wrists, and I just got a 15500 as a gift! Its obviously not the ideal size for my wrist but honestly very few watches are for me. I’m in love with the 15500 and honestly I don’t think it looks that bad, so I doubt the 15202 will look HUGE as some have suggested.

Here’s a side view. No, the bracelet is fitted to my wrist so there is no movement. I’m guessing the 15202 is smaller, so it won’t look this big Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The 15202 will be way too big I’m sorry to say. But ultimate it’s your choice.

Except you put on some weight the 15202 is too large for you.

15202 is wider the 15300 lug to lug
I have 6.5" and found the 15202 fit really big lug to lug. I chose 15450 and love the fit, it's perfect ! I believe that the 15202 is even wider than the 15400. I tried the 15400 once and lug to lug wasn't bad, but the watch looked really huge on my wrist.
