I'm thinking to buy a ROO Schumacher, (Ti)
It will be my first AP ...
But I have a pretty small (but flat) wrist (6,5) ... Would it fit a wrist like mine ?
To see, and try the watch I need to travel 800 km, so advice is welcome ...

Thanks

I have a similar size wrist.

My Bumble Bee 42mm ROO fitted very nicely, same for the Diver 42mm, but unfortunately the new 44mm ROO was just too big.

Think it will depend if the lugs overhang either side of your wrist - they did for me, making it a no go.

I honestly think it'll look silly on a 6.5" wrist, sorry!

I also think it will 'tank' in price come resale time too, only a problem if you don't keep it for long...

Barichello, Montoya or Trulli can not compare to Schumacher on the race track....but when it comes to their correponding AP watches...there is no comparison, and not just in size - but the shape of the pushers and overall materials and color schemes...just my humble opinion (until someone gets the Shummacher on this board and then I will keep my loud mouth shut)

I love the black ceramic schwarzenegger thats out there- special edition of 1500 units. But when I try it on my wrist - it looks ridiculous on me. Same could be said for many other 48mm's being dished out by Hublot, Corum, Breitling,new Iwc bps, etc...

Btw, I have an IWC 46mm big pilot and A 47mm Panerai, so I'm not against big watches per say!

But When it comes to buying a watch, if you try it on, and the size and fit does not convince you...you should not buy it period!

All depends how your wrist look like, But i honestly think it could look a bit to big on 6,5 wrist.

I am in the same boat with a wrist size slightly smaller than 6.5, and 42 mm seems to be the limit for me. I think that the style of the pushers on the 44 mm ROOs also make the watch look larger.

Will be big. My wrist is 6 - 6.5 depending on the weather. It's enormous on me. The strap is way too wide too.
