Looks WAAAAY too big for your little wrist Kenneth.

Shoot it over and I'll try it on my HUGE one. (7 4/8").

close up shots can be very deceiving my friend. If you like it, get it . It's not a massive piece and looks fine on you.

x2! And it looks like a much better fit than the Panda (basked on that one pic).

Looks great!

that's a stunning shot………..

Royal Oak is the only watch i long for another in different dial colour...

You should try the AP 15450 (37mm RO with silver dial)

[threemonkeys]

I think the AP looks just fine.

No offence intended at all, however should the OP or your good self feel aggrieved I humbly apologise, although having attached a smiley and diggin it type smiley I assumed my somewhat benign post wouldn't be taken too seriously....have a wonderful Sunday

Thank you all for your opinions and thoughts!

Ken, thanks for the magnificent pictures again!

David, no offence taken, no worries!

I do recognise that the Jumbo wears better than the Panda. Right now I'm considering trading the Panda for either a Jumbo (blue dial, 40th ann. edition) or a Nautilus 5711.

Not to start a Jumbo vs Nautilus debate as there already is a thread for that, but I just wonder if the new edition Jumbo will fit alright if the bracelet is properly sized. Obviously the boutique or dealer won't be able to size it until I buy it, which really is the problem.

The 5711 will definitely fit well, but I would like to keep an AP if the collection if I can!

Thanks!

And to the OP: I really think you would be fine with the Jumbo and get used to it. It is such a light watch and ever so thin!

[robisan]

It looks ok on your wrist.

[PatekCollector]

Well, it looks nice on your wrist. At the end you're the one who can feel its fine on your wrist or no.

The jumbo does look a tad big on your wrist from these photos. But how's the fit after resizing the bracelet? I believe the new bracelet with butterfly clasp has more removable links for better adjustment.
The ROO Panda is definitely huge on you!

Hi Wayne,

The fit was surprisingly better than I expected after the bracelet was resized. It looked great compared to before the links were removed.

I am really tempted to trade my Panda for it at the dealers, but hesitate as I'm not sure if the new Jumbo will provide as good a fit if resized. Would prefer a blue dial and the new version too..

I tried the new Jumbo before unsized at the local Sg boutique, and immediately gave up on it due to the big gaps. To be fair though the old Jumbo had these gaps too prior to resizing, so I won't be able to test the new Jumbo in a similar way unless I actually buy it!

It looks ok from your photo but if it's a concern for you go for the 37mm 15450.

[csi-n]

...aspect is how it feels on your wrist. If it feels comfortable to you, I would go ahead and buy it. If you have doubts about it, I wouldn't buy it.

Regardless, it's certainly a great watch and if you decide to buy it, I'm sure you'll be pretty happy with it.

Cheers and good luck,
Sam

I never worry about what others think--go with your gut.

Whatever you like is ALL that matters!

I have slightly larger wrists (cca. 6.3 inches), and the 15300ST was almost perfect fit for me, at least if you judge that by how the watch feels and wears. Yes, at the lugs there was a bit of gap, but if you don't look at the watch from 5 inches, but from a greater distance, the 39mm RO is a perfect fit for such a wrist. Wear the watch, and step away from the mirrors to see how it really looks like on you. Alternatively, you can ask the salesperson to take a photo of you from a few feets distance.

(On the other hand, the 42mm ROO looked out of place on my wrist, with a much wider gap at each lugs. But, the even more worrying issue was that the ROO looked very thick compared to the girth of my flat and thin wrist)

As for the 5711, it has a different lug shape, one that goes almost straight down, without any quirky angles. Hence it will fit virtually any wrist size or wrist shape, making it a more "universal" choice. I still felt the RO fitted me better, mostly because it's got a thicker case with a more interesting bracelet design.

I would say go with your gut feeling slowhand. That said, I do find they look huge/immense on your wrist. Cheers.....🍻🍻
