wrist size + 15400 pics please

would really appreciate if all you 15400 owners can post a pic of it on your wrist WITH a description of your wrist size so i can get a clear picture of what it would look like on wrist.

Many thanks guys

I have a 6.7inch wrist (17 cm)

I don't know my wrist size. Honestly, I think wrist shape is more important than wrist size with the 15400 due to the longer lugs. It's a watch I highly recommend trying on before purchasing. You can always post wrist shots/arm shots here of you wearing it and ask for opinions. You also need to consider how it looks on all of you compared to a 3 inch surface on your wrist.Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1438870232129.jpg

I've got the same. Technically, you should wear a watch below that wrist bone on your wrist. But a watch can slide on your wrist depending on temperature. So it is a comfort thing.

I will tell you that you won't regret purchasing this watch if it fits your wrist; and with a flat wrist, you are off to a great start! If it's too big, there is always the Jumbo or 15300. I personally liked how this fit on my wrist (and the slight style differences of it) more than the other two watches.

the buldger - I know it well, card carrying member. steel bracelets are better for this issue relative to leather is my experience. im 6.5 and rock the 15202. perfection.

my wrist is slightly larger than yours and relatively flat. i tried on both the white and blue 15400s at a boutique and found the white to seem a bit too large, while the blue looked very nice.

for the overall aesthetic, though, i would go with a 15300 if i were in the market for an RO (setting aside the jumbo solely for price (for me) reasons). on me, the 15400 was decidedly on the sport side, and i think i would want something a bit more restrained (so, 15300).

I have a 7.5" wrist and wear 42MM ROO all the time but when it comes to RO, I prefer the 15202 or even the 15300. I had a 15400 and just did not like how big it felt on my wrist (even though it wasn't tall) for a dress watch.

I have about the same size wrist as you. Sorry not the best of photos but i added what the GMT looks like on my wrist in case you can compare it to that.

I think the reason people prefer the aesthetics of 15300 > 15400 is due to the "head" of the watch being parallel to the bracelet ;; as opposed to the 15400s head popping out before the bracelet

i however like the big head

Agreed. I also like the dial layout better. I like the short marker at 3 o'clock, the colored date wheel, and I think the double stocks at the 12 look WAY better than the AP.

I also like the dial to bezel ratio on the 15400 better; and the fat short end of the second hand of the 15300 is a real turn off for me.

i have to admit though the proportions on the 15300 are great,

would be cool if they were to make a thicker width of the 15400 bracelet so it has that parallel aesthetic of the head to the bracelet.

I've got a flat 6.5" wrist and found that the 39mm 15300 fit me better than the 15400.



Having said that the 15202 fits even better due to the thinness of the case and how the integrated bracelet wraps around my wrist (even more than the 15300).

7.5in wrist (but more rounded than flat), in the end it was too big for me and I traded it to put towards my Day Date.... Still an awesome watch the 15202 might have been a better choice, but was more than I wanted to pay at the time. One day i will buy another RO but maybe an early original classic 36mm.

I would go for a 15400. Nice layout on the dial and I like having a seconds hand.
