Royal Oak 41mm vs 37mm Fit

[Jutch]

Hey guys,

Had the opportunity to try on both a 41mm and 37mm at the boutique today and would appreciate your opinion on the fit of both. I personally feel that the 41mm suits my wrist better.

[ReturningSon]

37mm looks "dressier" and a bit more tailored to your wrist. The 41mm definitely commands attention (Its AP afterall so this is likely something you want).

IMO the 37 is the more elegant of the two (in terms of sizing only).

I like the 41mm on your wrist better.

Depends what you’re looking for. The 15450 looks perfect on your wrist for a classic sports watch. The 41mm works for you as well, but as an oversized watch.

If you want an elegant look, 15450. If you want wrist presence and something more attention grabbing, the 41mm.

I think you’re in a pretty unique sweet-spot position with your wrist size that means both work. A good place to be.

I think the 41mm looks better on your wrist. I like the Royal Oaks to fill the width of the wrist without lug overhang.

[C_Troy242]

out of the two, for you 41mm. Not close in my opinion

[Kbest90]

41 defo suits you better

[Boxer321]

i vote for the 41mm, you def have a larger wrist

[Offline99]

41, not close.

I think your wrist is about 6.75", you can wear either one. It's personal preference, some people like to wear small, some people like to wear big.

IMHO, I like 41 mm better on you. In the pictures, 37mm looks more elegant because of the clean dial and rose gold bracelet, if you want more elegant on 41mm, go for 15500OR with rose gold bracelet.

Thanks. Looking for something I can fit under the cuff at work and wear casually. I do like the 15450, but I also feel that the dial is far less legible and there was a decent amount of empty space on my wrist.

What are your pros and cons for your 15450 vs Diver?

Good spot - my wrist is 6.75". I would be going for a steel 15500. Undecided on dial. Unfortunately, they didn't have one in stock so tried the ROC as a reference

Good decision for 15500st, it's clean look and very elegant. Blue dial would be the hardest one to acquire, but all dials are beautiful in their own ways just a matter of taste and preference.

I can’t agree that the 37 and 41 both look good on any wrist as they are so different in size. I’d go 41 based on your wrist.

I put my name down for a blue dial, but I may go for the black dial, since it's more realistic that I'll get one.

As usual, 39 for the win as it’s the perfect size. This mean jumbo, 15300, or new chrono

I'd love a 15202 or 15300 but they're out of my budget unfortunately. Tried a chrono on and liked it, but prefer the 15400/500.

Have you tried both on? The 15450 wears very similar to a Daytona. You’ll find lots in the forum with a big wrist that wear a Daytona quite happily. Just depends on the look you’re going for.

If we go to an extreme, there are load on here with a 39mm Royal Oak who also have a 44mm Offshore.

I have watches from 37mm through to 42mm, and they all work, depending on the look I’m going for.

People obsess over size, and yet there are multiple factors at play that can make a significant difference (how loose or tight it’s worn, the dial vs bezel size, the case depth, the amount of clutter on the dial, bezel and case material etc.).

41mm all the way.

I had the same dilemma, my wrist size is 6.25 and felt the 37mm was too small for my liking. I went with 41mm.

Out of interest, was that London AP House? What is the deal with the trying on? Is policy now that everyone must wear gloves?

Harrods asked me to wear a pair of gloves. The boutique on Sloane Street didn't ask me to wear any.

[Neti]

41 for sure

41 hands down

[mustangtornado]

In my personal experience the bigger dealbreaker is the bracelet. The narrower bracelet on the 37mm cut into my wrist after hours of wear, be careful on this.

I was in the same predicament a few weeks ago but I have a 7 inch wrist. I pulled the trigger on the 15450 but it's not just the wrist diameter IMO but also wrist shape. I vote 41mm for you.

Forget the 39, 41 looks good on you can't go wrong with 400 or 500. My first time seeing protected wrist shots lol.

[Nauti]

41 has nicer balance but Chrono also wears well.

You have to question why AP moved away from 39 and why given so much 37-41 debated they have not reintroduced?

[Jutch]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Time to find a 15500!
