Pic request Diver

Does any of you with an AP Diver sport a 6,7 inch wrist? (Or there a-bouts)

The Diver is one of the models I'm thinking of getting, but the Helsinki AD does not have a Diver, nor do they have one coming.

So I'd love to see a picture of the watch on a wrist about the same size as mine. I'm a bit scared of the size... My 39mm ROC is perfect, but the diver is a bit bigger at 42mm, and getting it from one of the greys, just to notice it's too big would kill me!

Thank you guys!

And yes, it looks awesome!

I think it will go very well go on mine.

I have a 42mm JLC navy seals, and the size is fine, but usually the AP's wear a bit bigger than other makes.

It does wear bigger than the NSD and more like a 44mm watch but I think you will just be fine Andreas, and remember a sports AP is not a PP or even JLC so it should have some presence and really fill your wrist.

I think an AP diver will fit you perfectly Andreas! Like the sound of it as your next/new watch !

The Diver wears big. So it's 42mm diameter with the lug/octagonal case is more like 44 ~ 45mm. Diver on my 6.75" wrist.

I think the size of the watch would be fine on you. That being said, I'd get the 15300 over that watch

Sometimes I think the 15300st might be too similar to my 25960BC...?

I absolutely love the 15300 with the blue dial though...

Arghhh! Why is it so hard?

I do love the diver as well, and it's so different.

Loosing my mind!

Does the Diver differ in size by much from a ROOC? Perhaps the AD has a variation on the ROOC that could stand in for sizing purposes?

just a thought

Paul, that would probably have worked with a 42mm.

I have one in the works. Won't get it before 4 weeks though.

The stainless steel diver wears bigger than the black divers such as the forged carbon or the ceramic due to the color/optical illusions.

SS diver looks much more impressive though due to the polished parts and the contrast in colors.
