Yay or nay?

I'm also interested in the diver 15710st.

Don't know how that will wear against the 15400st.

Any comments ?

Royalex · 31 May 2017, 01:05 AM

How about 15202r? It might fit your wrist better.

tonupbklyn · 31 May 2017, 01:05 AM

nay - take that jumbo RO instead!

2nastie · 31 May 2017, 01:51 AM

If the bracelet is adjusted I'm sure it works. The 39mm is an ideal size, but more the important thing is how you like it looking on wrist. Personally I think it looks fine as long as it doesn't slide around.

PJ S · 31 May 2017, 02:01 AM

Only one question matters, and that is… Do you think it fits you?
Are you really going to be wondering if someone you’re talking to is thinking, “that watch looks a bit big for his wrist”?
Buying a watch is no different to buying shoes or clothes – so just trust what your eyes tell you.

As for the 15710 – much bulkier, but then it was never designed to be svelte like the standard Royal Oak was. It is what it is, but trying it on will be the only way you’ll know if it looks fine or a bit OTT.

gtnator · 31 May 2017, 02:02 AM

It looks fine, does it feel fine?

chuey38 · 31 May 2017, 02:03 AM

fwiw, ive had a 15400 for a year.
could just about pull it off on my 6.75 inch wrist.
however i have just converted it to a 15202 and it makes all the difference.
the 15202 is the perfect size for smaller wrists

sea-dweller · 31 May 2017, 02:29 AM

Looks fine!

123Blueface · 31 May 2017, 02:37 AM

Looks great!

sechsgang · 31 May 2017, 02:42 AM

maybe a LITTLE big but not at a ridiculous level. I'd echo the 15202st comments as well

mobster600 · 31 May 2017, 03:15 AM

The issue with the 41mm is the case hangs over a wrist smaller then 7ish inches. I was a little surprised when I tried it on too. Not something I want to be surprised by lol. I am not a fan of the 41mm it looks big

wach16 · 31 May 2017, 03:45 AM

Looks fine from this vantage point but ultimately it is how it feels to you when you are wearing it

Peterandwatches · 31 May 2017, 07:26 AM

Royal Oak was meant to be worn large. It's today's world, the 15400 is the true Jumbo.

ejvette · 31 May 2017, 07:28 AM

Yes buy it

kingofthehill · 31 May 2017, 07:36 AM

I believe that it does; once the bracelet is sized, it has a different fit on the wrist in my experience and view.

code. · 31 May 2017, 07:48 AM

A lot of people wearing 44s have 7-inch wrists and its not too big. 41mm don't worry

Looks fine. APs are big and bold.

incontrol · 31 May 2017, 09:37 AM

From that camera angle, it looks good.

Looks good to me but you have to like the way it feels on your wrist.

Hairdude1 · 31 May 2017, 10:01 AM

Looks a little big. Look at a 15202

brandrea · 31 May 2017, 10:05 AM

It looks ok to me. Has to feel right though ...

Looks great on you. Pull the trigger!

zack777es · 31 May 2017, 04:47 PM

Personally, having been wearing it regularly the past 7 months, I think a 7" wrist is minimum to carry the 15400.
But if you have a "flat'ish" wrist, you could possibly avoid having the overhanging lugs look.

With an ROO, I feel that it's ok to have the slightly overpowering your wrist look but with an RO, you would want to have a more balance look as it is a dressier sport watch (if I'm making any sense at all

)

I have a thick 7.5" wrist and feel the 15400 have just the right amount of wrist presence.

Other than the 15202 Jumbo, may i suggest you try the 15450 37mm, it might surprise you.

dddibakar · 31 May 2017, 05:06 PM

I have a 6.25" wrist and I feel the 15450 fits the best on my wrist. Sorry I dont have a better picture

Would the ROO diver 15710 wear smaller than the 15400?

IMO, in terms of the diver's footprint, yes but it sits higher of course.

Which goes to my earlier post point, for the diver/ROO, the oversize look is ok since that's the look that one is going for when wearing ROO (or any other big watches).

Again above is just base on my personal taste (and on my wrist!).

You should try it out for yourself.

The camera angle is not good. Properly adjusted it looks like it would work.

Watch Admirer · 31 May 2017, 10:33 PM

You need smaller than 15400. Jumbo, IMO would be perfect on you.
