What size RO would be best?

I've got my heart set on a white face RO, but I'm torn between 37 and 39mm. I've got 6" wrists, so I'm fairly sure the 41mm isn't even a consideration.

It'll be a daily wearer, so I want something that's not going to draw as much attention as a ROO. What would people suggest for someone with my rather small wrists?

I know the obvious answer is visit a AD and try a few sizes on but I don't think I'll have time over the next month.

For 6" wrist, 37mm is a better fit.

37 because you are not going to find a 15300 at any AD to try on. Try on the 15450 and if it fits there is your answer.

You’re an ideal candidate for a 15450st and thankfully it comes in the silver/white dial

Thanks guys, I thought the same! From what I've heard/seen, the 37mm wears more like a 39mm anyway. Is this true?

Yes, Dont get caught up on the number as it wears bigger. Congrats in advance!

37 is probably best and tho it does wear bigger I did find it wore very small on me, but I can wear 41.
