Picture request:39mm and 37mm RO on a 15,5cm/6,2" wrist

Hello Guys

I am considering getting my wife a RO too. She loves wearing my 15400, but it's a bit on the large size for her (not that it prevents her from using it).

Since there are no ADs anywhere close to where we live and I would rather make a surprise, I was wondering if anyone could share pictures of the 39mm 15300 of the 37mm 15450 in a 15,5cm / 6,2" inch wrist.

Thank you

André

Perfection!

I have the same size wrist...and the 15300 at 39mm is perfect.

OP, you should be good with either 37 or 39...but not 41mm.

15300ST on a cca. 6.3 inch wrist. Long gone, I'm afraid... It was slightly larger than ideal, due to the fixed Royal Oak lug shape that doesn't favor slim wrists. For me the 37mm 15450ST would definitely be a better fit, but it's not available with steel case + black or blue dial, so no option for me. For your wife the 15450ST would be a perfect pick. Unless she prefers a more sporty choice, like the 37mm Offshore ;)

That looks good on you. It think it may work for her.

She likes to wear watches on the big size. I think it's sort of cool for the Ladies.

39 mm

It's hard to say which model your wife would prefer, but I think women today prefer to wear men's watches because of the larger size. Like a lot of women wear the 40 mm sub, Daytona, gmt etc. so if she uses your 15400 I would recommend the 15300.

You might be right.

She likes Big watches. She's been using my DJII a lot too (but the 15400 looks bigger of course). So maybe the 15300 will be the perfect choice.
