AP safari

Hello everyone. I've been looking for my next purchase and was dead set on a Daytona until I saw the AP safari 44mm. I'm thinking of buying it from a member on the forums. However, I have a 7 - 71/4 inch wrist. No AP AD's near me. Anyone have any pictures of a 44mm AP on a wrist of my size? Also are they tuff wearing with a dress suit and shirt? Seem big. Thanks in advance!

Its 42MM, it would be great on your wrist 7-71/4.

I have 6.5 wrist and Volcano is basically the same watch/different color as Safari. Here are couple pictures zoomed out, hope you can get the idea how it looks. If anything, I think it will be a bit small on 7-7 1/4 wrist, maybe you should take a look at 44mm ROO?

Just picked up the Safari..I have roughly the same size wrist as you and It's perfect...

Same boat as you - no ADs

I tried it on in Vegas a couple of times and it was always in the back of my mind.

Drop the hammer - get it done - you'll love it!

42mm Safari would be ideal for your wrist size.

As Bogdan said you might want to try 44mm FC as well.

However a Safari would an ideal watch to welcome you to the AP world
