BTW I tried on the two tone version of the 15450 the other week. I felt it fit well as a complete package on my 6.75 in wrist (sorry for the low res pics)

I'm right there with you 6.75" wrist and think the 15450 looks spot on. Of course if is all personal, but even the 5 digit 40mm Rolex cases can be clunky on me at times. Much prefer a 36mm Oystercase.

And don't even get me started on how much I LOVE TT watches...

Should also give the 38mm chrono a try. 37mm is beautiful especially on a wrist like mine 6.5". If you feel it is a tad small, go for the 38mm chrono, it is closest to 39mm in term of watch head size, albeit narrower bracelet width.

Advice 15400/15450 on 6.8 wrist

Some photos of the 15500 vs 26315 (the 38mm chrono). Somehow....they both work. 6.75in wrist. I find that the 15500 looks good in short sleeves or a rolled up sleeve but the presence of a sweater makes it look larger (though I still love it).

Did your 15450 come with the strap or is it aftermarket?

I bought the strap, clasp and links from the AP boutique in London. The watch came with gold bracelet.

Did you have to install the strap yourself? If so was it difficult removing the bracelet?

How does the 37mm wear on a strap? Does it look larger,smaller, same?

I have 6.7in wrist and i rock a 15500 and 44mm ROO all the time. but i have rather large forearms so that may play a factor. i also have 15202 which to me feels rather petite and i would only wear it under cuffs with a suit.
