markiemark Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I still haven't bought a watch because I like the AP ROO diver too much and I'm not sure if it will fit. I did some 'research' on small wrists, but the smallest wrist/AP ROO - combo is 7.5" (mine is 6.9"). The reason I want the SS bracelet is because I don't like rubber straps... Is someone with an AP ROO (diver) willing to help me out and measure the bracelet on its tightest fit (all possible links removed) and the length of the case (shown below)?

edgematic1 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 should be possible, a 7" is possible with an ROO, so a 6.9" should work as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hey M, as stated, you would be able to take the diver on your wrist if you can take the panerai.. Sorry I can't help you with the case measurement as I am travelling currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I just received a message from a member claiming he has an 8" wrist and it was too big for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Diff I know, but I just received a message from a member claiming he has an 8" wrist and it was too big for him entirely possible, as each person has a preference over what he finds "too big".. The same watch would look different on different wrists.. It all depends on what your own preference is mate. I saw the picture of the panerai on your wrist, looks good to me. The diver would look about the same size on your wrist. Another related fact: you might find it difficult to purchase a diver V3 now.. it seems to be out of stock everywhere! good luck matey!

Watchmeister Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 The sizing is all personal preferences. At 6.9 inches I think it would look fine. They do wear like PAM's albeit they sit somewhat higher. Most people don't have 7.5" wrists. My wrist is about 7.25" (I have plenty of pics up in various loops so you can take a look) and although I don't currently have a bracelet on a watch it should certainly go small enough with links removed. I have worn both rep and gen bracelets in the past. I would try leather or croc rather than a bracelet though. AP rep bracelets are not particularly adjustable (no Rolex micro adjustment) so they are tough to get a good "loose" fit. My 2 cents.

mikeross Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Do you know of a TD that has this watch available? Seem everyone is out of stock and unsure when another batch will be made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 There was indeed talk of a V4.. but like all things chinese, we can only keep our fingers crossed. I talked to Andrew @ trusty and he told me to wait for 2-3months for a 'better version' of the AP Diver. Wonder what is coming up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 2-3 months is what they said when the V3 got released.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hmm... V4 sometime early next year maybe? My wrist is 6" and I happened to walk by an AD on Sunday so I walked in and tried it on. It works with a small wrist as much as 44mm Panerai does. But the rubber strap needs an extra hole for me, or a genuine XS strap. By the way, I liked the Gen a lot. Definitely will get the rep, maybe sometime next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you and your wrist tried it on with the SS bracelet or the rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Only with a rubber strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 2-3 months is what they said when the V3 got released.... No no, H factory is coming up with it, not N Factory. I'm just gonna wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Interesting, so H fac is working on a new version. I wonder how that will compare to the current Noob V3. No no, H factory is coming up with it, not N Factory. I'm just gonna wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 In regards to the SS bracelet and taking out links. It would be best if someone who has it can measure it somehow for you. I think with your wrist you should be fine. A problem is for guys like me. For instance with Panerai, even when I took all possible links out, it was still a bit too big, enough to bother me and was not comfortable. I would say good for 6.5" and up but not for 6". I have this really great OEM bracelet I have to put up on sale. Another thing to think of is that bigger watches become quite heavy with bracelets and may not be comfortable. I think that Diver with rubber strap is a way to go. With 6.9" you will not have to add extra hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that's too big I'll order a small (or do I need XS??) strap at an AD. They won't be asking serial numbers and stuff right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
