Gift for my wife: 37 mm or 39 mm
Hi all,
My wife is going to give birth to our first child within a few months and her birthday is up soon so I want to give her a nice present for all these occasions. Thought an AP RO would do it.
I'm doubting which size would be best. The 37 mm (15400or) or the 39 mm (15300or).
Guess the 37 mm will be the right size for longer (as nobody know's how long the large diameter frenzy will keep going on?). On the other hand: a bit larger (39 mm) can look cool to?

It all depends on the size of the wrist.
If your wife's wrist is around 15 cm, then 37 mm case will be good. If 16 cma, you can try a 39 mm. Ask her to wear one of your watches, pretext a wrist shot, and you will see. Best, Nicolas
tnx for the reply
it's +/- 15 cm. Apart from that maybe a 37 mm would be better anyhow. Otherwise the temptation of wearing it myself will be way to big....
Hi Arie. Let me confirm the correct reference # for the 37mm
It is actually the 15450OR. If you order a 15400, you will be getting a 41mm case. Now, for the question, I highly recommend the 15450. I have seen it in person, and it is not too small for anyone. The dial proportions are about perfect. And in gold, I th...
15450
For a woman, wearing a men's watch is something we are used to seeing. Except if your wife has a large wrist (I would say over 17cm), I would recommand 37mm. I tried it with my 16cm and it felt great. However, it depends of what she is used to wearing. If...

Women for the last decade or two or three, have been wearing the 33mm RO's and they look terrific... it's actually quite a big jump to the 37mm, because Royal Oak's wear bigger as is - due to the fact that they don't show lugs like most other watches, mak...
