I am buying my first 44mm ROO soon. I have a question about the 44mm ROO strap size. My wrist size is 17cm/6.5 inches, is small for 44mm ROO. Should I buy a smaller size strap from boutique to replace original one? Or the original strap will works fine for me?

Anyone using the small size strap? What is the main different between smaller size strap and original strap? Thanks.

You will need the smaller strap, for the best fit you may need one side from a standard strap and the other strap side from the small size.

Yes you will need XS strap (from AP) for your wrist size.

I got a shorter strap for my previous forged carbon 44mm ROO.

I used just one of the parts of the short strap set, but don't recall if the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock strap of the shorter set.

By using a combination of the regular and short strap set, was able to position strap holes more optimally.

I concur that you need the XS strap. The XS strap is large enough for larger wrists too, so you won't be losing anything should you hit the gym and bulk up.

Half and half is also a good combo and gives you flexibility to chose the position that the buckle sits on your wrist bone.

Congratulations , my wrist is 6.5 inches and when I bought my 44 offshore The standard strap was too big for me the boutique recommended I buy the smaller sized strap.
I refused to buy it and insisted on getting it free as I’m buying the watch it should fit.
They agreed to change it free
Any way the small size is perfect on my 6.5
Cheers

Thanks everyone’s response. I got the answer, will get a XS strap. Now waiting boutique’s call for the watch.

How long ago was it when you asked for the free strap? I recently (2 months ago) inquired about a new strap to go along with a 15500OR and they told me they dont offer free straps anymore.

Keep the original and ask them to punch an extra hole in it, if that makes it wearable, then order a different style/colour strap in XS and you have two options.
