AP Recommendation?

Hi Guys,


Have been a frequent lurker and this is my first post.

Just wondering what kind of AP's (similar to the royal oak offshore or any with chronographs) are out there new/old that have a case diameter 38mm-40mm maximum.

I have a small wrist and currently wearing a daytona which fits perfectly which i believe is a 38mm case diameter. But I love the look of the AP royal oak offshore collection and was wondering if they make something to fit my wrist size.


Thanks

Welcome to the forum. In the 38 to 40mm range, if you are dead set on a chronograph, the Royal Oak Chronograph, not the offshore is your only bet in the Royal Oak line. Offshore's start at 42mm. Here is my 25860 (39mm but wears closer to 40mm or 41mm) for reference. You will love AP!

PS, the Daytona is 40mm but the 39mm ROC wears a bit bigger

Welcome to the forum, Daytona is 40 but wears small, forget the ROO, it's 42 and up, what is your wrist size? If you have 6 or more you should try as it should fit not so bad if your wrist is flat, the only RO I really like is the 15202, the ultra thin Jumbo, but if you're open to Patek, and ready to wait you have the 5711 or even better the 5712 which is amazing if you like asymmetrical dials, both have the same chameleon blue and are just beautiful, the RO is great but I tend to prefer the PP, just a question of tastes

I have small wrists and the AP ROC just did not fit right - the lugs extend too far. But you should try one on.

The ROO Triple Date has a 39mm case dia, it's a great looking watch too, check it out.

You are right, the "40mm" Daytona only really measures 38mm I believe.

Maybe some discontinued pieces, but as far as I can recall, all men's size ROO starts at 42mm. How big is your wrist?

Why the hell do they say 40 if it's really 40?? Never get why they don't put the real size...
