Hello AP Fans...

I went window shopping today and tried on this beautiful 26400SO... To me this is the Ceramic Panda... just beautiful! It was being offered at a great price but I was just not sure if I would be able to wear it on my 6.5" wrists...

Here are a few photos I took... please enjoy... also I have my Diver wrist shot as well to compare...

Feedback is welcomed! What do you think?

cant really say it fits well, but it doesnt look bad at all..

TSW · 23 June 2012, 02:31 AM

Not a perfect fit, But ain't that bad at all.

highdiver · 23 June 2012, 03:14 AM

well, looks alright i will say.

texex91 · 23 June 2012, 03:32 AM

Big, bold statement--nothing wrong with that Kevin!

SaddleSC · 23 June 2012, 04:37 AM

I definitely prefer the Diver for your wrist size.
I love the 26400 as much as the next guy, but that one is just a little too big on you.

kilyung · 23 June 2012, 04:40 AM

I want a 44mm so bad but imo it doesnt look good on my 6.5" wrist.

I know exactly what you mean... I was trying to convince myself that this 44mm looked good on me!

Peppers90 · 23 June 2012, 04:50 AM

I really like the diver on your wrist better. You could get away with it, but it is quite large.

TimeOnHand · 23 June 2012, 04:53 AM

Thanks for you honest input guys... really appreciate it!

B. Doggy · 23 June 2012, 08:18 AM

Looks good to me.

byeedo · 23 June 2012, 02:55 PM

I think the diver looks a bit better

braningan · 23 June 2012, 05:00 PM

Looks big on ur wrist

caryyee · 23 June 2012, 06:02 PM

Diver looks a lot better on you. I'm in the same situation, I so want to love the ROO, there are some beautiful models, but on my 6.75" wrist, they look ridiculously big for me unfortunately so they are forever off my wish list :-(

travisb · 23 June 2012, 10:50 PM

Although the new 44mm ROO is a looker.

HL65 · 24 June 2012, 12:17 AM

Looks good to me!

emagni · 24 June 2012, 12:44 AM

Doesnt look bad. If you bulk up your forearm it will look fantastic overall.

alexlt730512 · 24 June 2012, 01:01 AM

diver looks better, but 44mm is also fine on your wrist.

///armin · 24 June 2012, 02:28 AM

ROO is really something else, looks fine to me

Dickson Lim · 24 June 2012, 03:56 AM

Looks good to me. More often is the hornback leather strap that cause the problem on small wrist, rubber strap is wrapping your wrist quite nice now.

dpkong · 25 June 2012, 12:29 AM

The watch does look a tad too large for your wrist.

I too have a 6.5" wrist but can't even pull off the 42mm ROO probably because the 6.5" is more rounded that flat but it's still on my radar because i really love the Panda

dalip · 25 June 2012, 10:52 AM

I don't think it stands out as too big Kevin..

How did it feel when on ?

Watchonisto · 25 June 2012, 08:35 PM

Not bad at all

eagle_lex · 26 June 2012, 02:49 AM

if you have the means for the 44 grab it. i think it looks great but you need to be sure your happy with how it feels. thats the hard part for me. it seems like i need extended test drives to decide how it fits. but the 44 looks great and def one of my favs. i just dont have the means.... so id go diver if i got one. eventhough im 6-1 230 and the 44 would fit better probably. good luck with your decision.

Well at first looking at it I thought it was going to be huge on me... but once I had it on I thought I could get away with it! It feels just as comfortable as the 42mm Diver if not better!

I wonder if the lugs on the 44mm have a greater downslope than the 42 mm Diver?

Sorry mate... are we allowed to discuss discounts and prices? I don't know... I have already been banned on another forum last month

Ok I will PM you!

highdiver · 27 June 2012, 01:02 AM

ChristianN · 29 June 2012, 08:26 AM
