Never thought i would be here...

I started off in the rolex general discussion and that lead to 2 purchases and then i came to the AP section just for a browse and now i am dying to get an AP ROO FC dive

Only problem is that i don't think my wrist is large enough... I have heard that the AP diver sits quite massively both in diameter and depth.

I have a wrist size of 6.5" Would that be OK, or is my wrist too small :bang head:

Thanks for your help.

The Diver in stainless steel looks pretty big, however it's not got the same look in FC and looks smaller. It's a great watch.

I thought that my wrist wpuld be too small for any ROO. But as soon as I tried it and changed the strap to the OEM XS size It fits nicely

You will be fine. The FC Diver wears slightly smaller than the SS equivalent anyway. If need be, you also add a XS strap for better fit.

FC Diver is a good choice as it is only 42mm (as opposed to 44mm) and also in black looks smaller still. Go for it!

You should be alright but they do wear quite a bit bigger than 40mm Rolexes so best to try one on. Also try on the smaller RO and ROC.

Definitely ask your AD to order the small strap as it may take some time to get. Otherwise you'd be looking at buckling the last hole.
