Odd bracelet try on

So, I tried on some RO's today and found something odd. I have a 6.5" wrist that is more oval than round. I tried on a 41mm RO and bracelet wrapped well around, I tried on a 37mm RO and it was the same nice wrap. So, they had a gold blue dial 39mm and the bracelet couldn't wrap my wrist. It was bending in on itself and not touching my skin all the way around. Anyone else ever experience this? Basically 41mm is too big for a dressy watch for my wrist and the 37mm is a little small, but the bracelet on the 39mm was odd fitting.

Thoughts?

I hear you and also have a 6.5. I found 41 a non starter for my size wrist, not meant to be chunky and it looked that way on me. I find the jumbo fits me well and yes the bracelet is a but rigid but not so much that it bothers me

I think you've mentioned 5711 / 5167 before and I'd say they both fit me a little more comfortably

I have a similar oblong shaped 6.5" wrist. No issues with 39mm ROs.

I have heard this same complaint here before Mik. You are not alone. For the record both 15400 and 15202 seem to fit by 7.5" oblong wrist well.
