First time trying AP, how does it look?



https://ibb.co/0GwS5sg
https://ibb.co/BnTwT6G

Tried RO for the first time. I believe 38mm 26715 and 37mm 15500

I only have 40mm Rolex watch but it felt good/a bit small for my wris (7 inch)
Exhibition model's bracelet was a bit tight too so maybe it made me think it was on a smaller side? Not sure

I am AP newbie but based on my research 41mm is available for these models as well. Unfortunately didn't get to try a bigger size. What do you think about sizing in my pictures - 38mm looks good? Should I go for jumbo 39mm or should I do 41mm?

It looks a little small in my opinion.
I have a bias towards the 41mm but the 39mm Jumbo could look good if you’re willing to go grey to avoid waiting for years.

Nothing wrong with how either looks, but I think the 41mm models would fit you better (and 39mm models are basically impossible to obtain). I have 38mm and 39mm ROs and a 43mm ROO and about a 6.75" wrist.

37mm should be 15550ST, 15500ST is 41mm for the old model.

With 7" wrist, you can go for 41mm, 37mm it would be too small for most people.

Size is personal preference, whichever you think it looks good on your wrist, go for that one.

I would not go bigger.

Rolex 40mm cases wear much smaller relatively than a 41mm RO. The RO looks way more than 1mm bigger; it's just the overall design that causes this.

I’d personally went 41 with 6 3/4 wrist
You can definitely wear 41 IMO. I’d do your best to try that size before making the decision
