Is it too big?

The girl I’m seeing made a remark how she dislikes larger watches and she thought the 15407 was perfect on me.

This made me have second thoughts about the fit of 44 on my wrist. I have a thin, but very flat wrist. Here is a profile shot.

Bear in mind I’m on the 2nd hole from tightest on the XS strap.

looks fine from that angle but they are made to be chunky. even guys with huge forearms it still looks chunky to me. it’s strange, had a black themes for awhile. thought it was too beefy for my 6.7” wrist. wear a 5711 almost daily and now ive been wanting an orange diver

The lugs seem to hug your wrist nicely. It wears fine.

She's entitled to her opinion, but I would advise you not change your collection based on it. The ROO line is supposed to be oversized. AP is not trying to make octagonal Submariners

Looks great and like others have stated the 44s are supposed to have a presence. I'm told the XS Strap makes a big difference for wrists under 7" and think the fit is totally fine.

That does it for me - thank you all. I'd rather take watch advice from folks here.

If I had to choose between keeping my watches or proceeding with the relationship... hmm...

She don't comment on your wrist size and you don't on her bra size.

Watch looks fine, it's an AP.

Looks fine on you. My wrist is 7” flat and it wore similar on me. It’s certainly an oversized look and that’s just part of the ROO line. Your GF is not wrong, I agree with her that smaller watches are a better look style wise but frankly who cares these are man toys

To me, it doesn’t look oversize on you at all. Well done!
