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.

I have one and had to remove 4 links. My wrist is about the same size as yours.

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.

Thank you guys for the positive feedback!
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.
