Any chance of a 38/40mm offshore?

Have a 6 1/3 wrist and even the diver wears too large. Any hope of AP releasing an ROO in a smaller size? The ladies models are 37 but they all have diamonds.

would not be shocked if they did it since the chrono comes in a 38mm case. especially since a lot of their clientele is Asian with smaller wrists.

I doubt it as well. The AP ROO both 42mm and 44mm we’re positioned to be very masculine and have an undeniable brand presence. Regardless of your wrist size! Panerai tried this by reducing the size of their popular models in 42mm variants which IMO backfired terribly; they’re near impossible to resell without a significant hit and already carrying that ‘girl’s watch stigma’ on YouTube which is a huge product research and decision channel. Another variable as mentioned is that the female consumer market is shifting into the larger watch size range which is exasperating a negative stigma on the +/- 40mm range for male consumers. This will bring challenges and more friction to these sizes in the near future.
