AP ROC 26331st on 6.5" wrist

[Horolojust]

Hi everybody,

So I thought I will share the link for the video here that I did over the weekend, for anyone who might be considering pulling the trigger for AP ROC in 41mm case and have small-ish wrists around 6.5" circumference (16.5cm); and unsure about how the 41mm RO case would sit.

For your reference, my whole youtube channel is about showing how the watch will sit on 6.5" wrist. So far I have covered quite a few watches, including but not limited to Rolex Hulk, black sub date, Deepsea JC, SD43, GMT, Explorer ii. Grand Seiko Snowflake, AP RO 15400 etc.

I started making these videos after I was only able to try the watch on after having purcahsed it and then evaluating whether did I like the wear or not. So, I hope the videos will help you decide at least one question - how the watch will wear on 6.5" wrist?
Here's the link below: Enjoy and all the best :)

Its going to be too large. Wait for the 38mm roc to come in

I don’t mind it tbh. The narrower bracelet on 38mm is also a bit concerning for me. That’s the same reason I didn’t opt for 15450.

Great work!! Looks nice.

I’ve tried it on my 6.5” wrist
It’s just too big for me.



Note that gap below the wrist and the pin is on the tightest hole.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. You wear the 41 mm very well.

It actually looks good. Yes if it were smaller it would be better but mostly it looks due to the bulk rather than the size.

The 26331 looks GREAT on your wrist. Not too big at all. I have a 7" wrist and wear one as well. Love that piece !

My wrist 6.75” and fits ok , looks good... The thing has a good wrist presence and gets attention from people. Sita more comfortable than 116610

Looks well on the wrsit at the size. I too have a 6.5" wrist and find the 41mm perfect. If you think the Rolex daytona fits well on your wrist then of course you will like the 37-38mm RO/ROC variants.

Cheers mate. Yes, it does have wrist presence and it speaks loud. I love the way it shows and is not too discrete, yet doesn’t wear large enough to look bad.

Many thanks mate. Absolutely love it. Thinking about getting blue to replace this now.

I agree. It’s said to wear large but I don’t mind it at all. I don’t think I can pull smaller 37mm RO or 38mm ROC. They are too small to fill my eyes

The is for sharing. Personally I think this is one model that people can get away with being s little bit. Because it’s so sporty it can be worn even when slightly larger than normal. I’m afraid that the 38mm ones are just going to be too darn small. That’s a lot of stuff going into a small dial. If it’s any smaller feeling than the Daytona I think it will be way too small for most people.

That actually looks good, you just need a short strap to keep it tight and centered on the wrist

I have a 6.5inch wrist and am looking to jump from the 15400OR to the 26331OR both on the bracelet so this post is perfect for me. I think the chrono looks more at home even though they are identical in size. Thanks for posting.

To me the 26331 wears smaller.

Yes I agree, the chrono “looks” smaller.

Cheers mate. Yes , chrono wears better and for some reasons even the thickness works well giving it a sporty look. Congrats on your choice and all the best :)

I agree, I cant pull up 38mm, not only because it’s too small, but primarily because of thinner bracelet which tappers down to really thin girly looking bracelet. I like wider bracelet that comes with 15400/15500 and 26331.
