Thoughts on the size of the Jumbo on my small wrists?
What do you guys think?
I do intend to get it in stainless steel, however this was the only one available, and it is the same size. I initially was interested in the 15450 37mm, since I have pretty small wrists at around 6.25" wrists, maybe slightly smaller, but I just felt the 37mm was on the smaller side; I also love the blue dial so that was one more thing I couldn't get on the 15450. I personally think it pretty much wears like my 40mm Rolex GMT, which I am very comfortable with; I am just not sure if the Jumbo will sit well on my wrists when I remove the links. I am told that I can remove a max of 6 links. Should that be enough for my scrawny wrists? I appreciate your opinions, and any input. Thank you guys. |

Thank you guys very much for the prompt responses!
I would really appreciate if someone with smaller wrists can tell me how it sits on the wrist, and how many links had to be removed. Thank u all! |

I have a 6.75 inch wrist and I had only two links removed on my RG 15202, it now fits me perfectly, there's a tiny room left as I don't like wearing my watch tight especially in the summer. That RG jumbo is gorgeous, looks good on your wrist

It's on the larger side on your wrist, but I think it works.

if you were choosing a 44mm ROO or larger then it would say no, but this looks great on you.

You have a flat wrist so it will fit fine, IMO. I have similar size wrist and my 15202 fits well. I can't remember how many links were removed but I did need a 1.5 link for a good fit.

Could you explain how this 1.5 link works exactly? Not sure if i'll need it, but it is good to know that there is a fix if I do! |

The bracelet was too loose and when I took out a link, it was too tight. So, I took out 2 links and installed the 1.5 link so in effect you add 1/2 a link.

Only looks big because it's not sized but lugs aren't hanging over so looks good to me.

Hey buddy,
I had the exact same problem when I was purchasing my first Royal Oak and from the pics to what I saw ur wrist is exactly the same size as mine.. The jumbo sits really well and yes u can remove up to 6 links. I too removed my six links and it fit perfectly fine.. Let me give u the best news: I purchased the 26320 ROC and that's 41mm so urs will be perfect.
