Size on wrist check: ref. 77350 (34mm, selfwinding) - how is it?

Went to check this out yesterday to gauge size. I have a smaller wrist (just north of 5.5”)

34mm seems like the sweet spot…thoughts?

37/41 Royal Oak would be YUGE and I would prob look like a clown

I will be going for silver/steel reference as my actual pick in the 34mm

Had a solid convo with the rep and got my request in…seems demand for 34 is strong based on recent history since release

I hope they will continue to make smaller mechanicals

Seems to fit very well - would be good to also have pictures from a larger distance, as the closeups are often a bit misleading

Here is a quick vid: https://streamable.com/iafao8

not really far away…but slightly more dynamic

Looks ok on you.

I have the 37 on 6.5", and it fits just right.
Might be a tad too big for you imo.

I vote 37mm. May look a little bigger and more sporty but 34mm is too small IMO.

The bracelet of the 34 is not adjusted but it seems to sit relatively ok on your wrist.
Do you have a pic of the 37?

I unfortunately don’t. Will have to go back to try a 37

SA mentioned 34mm is adjustable and that they’d have to remove links for me as expected

At 5.5 inch wrist, the 37mm would be perfect I think.

The 34mm looks “Ok” at that close distance and angle, but I suspect at normal viewing distances, the dial size will look small and off on your wrist.

Definitely try on the 37mm too.

Looks great on you. As for folk worrying about what it looks like from a distance, unless you have exceptionally long arms, why would that matter?? If it looks good to you, that’s all that matters.

I think this looks great and the 37 might look a tad big.

I thinks 34mm will be better fit for you than the 37mm.

Im 5.9 inch and you can search my old thread for the comparision between 34 and 37mm there.

Im buying 34mm this coming week also ;)

I have a 6" wrist and the 38mm ROC fits me like a glove, if it feels right then don't second guess it.

Just went back and read your thread. thanks! I think your wrist is big enough where 37 def makes sense as the thread seemed to agree with

are you going for the same 34mm in SS/Silver or something else? and is it for yourself?

It would be for me and my wife. It is the ST/Silver dial. Getting it tomorrow :)

I'm now aiming toward the 14790st myself but it's rarely show up here in local market.

For 5.5 inch wrist, the 34mm is perfect. Who gives a crap if its a lady's size or not. That is irrelevant. Whatever fits, and that looks perfect.
