You'll see the difference between the 37mm, 38mm, 39mm, as well as the 41mm. You'll also see AP's latest 38mm model. You're tuned into Episode 106 of WOMD (What's On My Desk).

I know many of you often find yourselves confused over which watch size to order and I'd like to display that the differences aren't so vast between the 37, 38 and 39mm and that ROO watches start to look a lot chunkier as you hit the 40mm mark and over.
It eventually became a trend for females to wear larger watches (aka, "men's watches"), as opposed to the dainty watches and pieces of jewelry that used to be more common. So while, 38mm watches are often dubbed "unisex," they're not really "small" by any means. There are countless men who wear "ladies watches," simply because the size just happens to be more suitable to their wrist. And best of all? You probably wouldn't even know it.

The white dial AP with blue subs.. just delicious 👌

[@hishamq89]

Love that silver Royal Oak Chrono and that size is perfection!

[@kermitfrog3074]

Roman Modern vs vintage? After literally watching 90% of your videos, You convinced me and probably many others BUY WHAT YOU LIKE! Vintage watches are beautiful and have the appeal of "If you know you know" Modern watches are also beautiful and have the same "If you know you know appeal" I believe a majority of the world would prefer modern watches because they are not educated in vintage. I am not educated in vintage I just watch your videos lol But I think that many of us if given the opportunity would choose the watch that fits them the best price wise and style wise. Thank you for being real with your viewers and thank you so much for giving the world an opportunity to learn more about watches which is a very exclusive and boujie thing to be a part of. Please stay safe during COVID and thank you again for your commitment to your viewers! EDIT: If I had to choose between the two GMT's I would choose the new school, Only because the color combination is easier to pull off with a black face

[@mark10601]

Love that grey dial AP. 38mm is perfect 👌

[@natfingerboard]

One thing I've learned is that the case size means absolutely nothing to how a watch is going to wear. Literally everything else is more important, dial size, bezel size/thickness, case thickness, lug size, lug width, bracelet tapering, etc. So I have watches that go from 38 to 45 and none of them feel out of place to me. know what to look for and you won't regret your purchases.

[@andrewtobin4780]

I love the older Ruby Rolex.

[@AbdulRWatches]

Great comparison of the sizes, I really think 37 mm would be ok for smaller wrist sizes, and for men that like smaller sized watches. My favorite range is between 36 and 39 mm, so I think the 37 and 38 would be my top two choices. Thanks Roman.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

New school always. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@richardman28]

Roman, I agree with you. I also think the chrono AP in the grey dial is much nicer than the blue sub dial version. Also with smaller 38mm size is actually nice because although it is smaller, it doesn't give the impression that's it's too small because the case is quite thick and gives it wrist presence. Sometimes a bigger 42mm looks a bit silly when it looks too big and can not carry it off if you are wearing a suit at formal event. Thanks for showing us..

[@johnvanluvanee4132]

Prefer the vintage dial with the rubies! Much more unique look. Love the vintage idea. I bought my first true vintage piece, a '69 1675 w/ box and papers, but it took a few years to find the right one. Having a place like your website to look would make it a lot easier, especially since i hope you would offer nice examples with box and papers since you appreciate them so much. Other places have lots of examples, but they are naked.

[@alvarojimenez9847]

I would go with the old-school GMT!! Looks great with the dial and the two tone!

[@Mark..P]

Great episode Roman. You and Ian are starting to work in perfect harmony. 😁

[@alexandertaavitsainen5065]

Hi Roman, Was a while since a watched a video from you, but every time I see one of them it makes me glad that I did. Thanks for a great episode as always! Keep being inspiring and hope your channel grows more. Have a good day and my picked would be the vintage one.

[@jgity]

Hi Roman. Great video. I totally agree with you on the the size Topic. I’m going though it right now. I have a Rolex 36 daydate for about ten yrs now and always loved this watch. But over the past year I’ve purchased a Tudor black bay gmt and a datejust 41 and A breitling headwind. Now I’m have issues wearing the daydate. Every time I put it on I don’t make it out of my house without taking it off. So much I’m looking to trade it and upgrade to a two tone skydweller. Oh and I would take older gmt.

[@umuterdem9317]

Great video as always also thank you for answering my question about the vintage rolex piece you realy are one of the most good hearted watch dealers.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Hello Roman Big fan , I've owned a 36 mm Datejust since 1974 bought it on my 21st Birthday never regretted it 36 was considered a normal size for a man still looks great .

[@silviaclips9478]

Hi i would like to ask if you think its possible ap produce a smaller ro offshore maybe 37 or 38 for men

[@timemoney2775]

I have a preference for the vintage watches so I go for the old school Rolex GMT over the new two tone Sub. Beside I have a 7inch wrist and I can wear from 34-36-38mm to 45-47mm watches, it all depends on the watch design. Vintage tend to be on the smaller size.

[@raquelchi7113]

What is Roman Sharf’s wrist size?

[@mvsnforce]

Even though I love the brand, the second thing that keeps me away from AP is the size, I have a small wrist. The first thing that keeps me away is the price. lol. But those new 38mm it's amazing! Hope AP keeps making these models. Great episode as always, Roman!

[@barrycrawshaw8557]

Just when i was happy with my Skydweller black Dial 2 tone -now I want that blue dial! The watch that got away was my submariner 2 tone to fund the skydweller, now i want that red Rugby vintage sub, straight on your web! I need help!

[@faisalabdulla944]

The vintage gmt on a 2tone jubilee is the prettiest watch ever

[@tondo6912]

At last a real size comparison. Bravo Keep up this non conventional programming

[@shawnw8046]

Is the jewelled gmt factory?

[@sargentmcbadass]

Another great video! I agree with you that AP moving towards smaller sizes is a great thing. I never bought into the big watch phase and came in with buying a 36mm OP White Dial for my first proper piece. I only have recently started learning the history of AP as most of my time previously was spent learning the history of PP and Rolex. One AP that caught my eye especially was the 42mm Ti ROO. Primarily because I really liked that they made a piece in 42mm with modern pushers and to really put the icing on the cake, its thin and in a light material. I am scared to commit to one because i do not know if i would still enjoy wearing my other pieces which mainly range in the 36 mm vicinity.

[@hbomb9041]

Another great show with some excellent insights. Thanks Roman.

[@SuperEmlo]

Hi,Roman. I want to make the RM016 as my grail watch. And buy it in next 5years. However, most of RM016 on chrome24 are made in 08. 5 years past , they will all around 20 years old. I’m little worry about the watch parts such as dial the paint will look old just like old car paint work. Please share more your experience about this kind of “vintage watches”

[@JamesWebbFitness]

My style couldn't pull of that gold dial with rubies I'd go with the modern but what I really love is that new ap with the white dial and blue sub dials!

[@daltonrayalvey1]

Where can we submit the q and a questions?

[@tuengsak]

I tried on the 38mm, I don’t know, it looks too “unisex” for me. So I went with 41mm black dial silver sub dials instead. I like how masculine it looks and feel in my 6.5 inch wrist. I think since AP use double folding clasp 41mm RO is no longer too big, unlike the older 39mm with single folding that always wears a little too weird and uncomfortable on small wrist.

[@leonardoestopinan]

Older gmt if same price or gifted, price on the blue skydweller?

[@angusrussell7084]

No contest for me old GMT Serti is a classy watch. Great show Roman.

[@davidwilliamauston]

That new ro 38 chrono wears like Rolex 40 which seems to be the sweet spot for any men’s watch long term. Cant wait to see the white and blue subdial version in person.

[@j.nilsson5362]

I need to see the Rolexes vs APs. It’s so hard to get my head around the sizes

[@bigmike3541]

The diamond royal oak is so so cool. What does that cost nowadays?

[@firooz2081]

Hi Roman, I would go for older GMT, but without diamonds. Hope that helps.

[@valleeny]

Wish it’s still trading at a slight discount today on secondary

[@zunrize]

I got an 43mm Breitling Crosswind 13355 and a 39mm Breitling Chronomat Vitesse 13050.1 and have to say that i prefer the 39mm watch, if i only compare size. Also had some 36mm Datejust models on my wrist and have to say they dont wear to small. I am even attempted to buy myself an Oysterquartz that as i know only exists in 36mm

[@miguellourenco9799]

You are something else Roman! 😂 always good to hear from you! Thank you for everything you do for us!

[@miguellourenco9799]

Oh and by the way, I would chose the newer version on that particular case but i would go for an poder version in many other cases.

[@winstonsim4948]

Hi Roman!! Greeting from Singapore!! Wish all u, family and team well & safe!! I will go for Old School😍. Thank you and pls keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next Video. Cheers

[@jackjones6258]

I just bought a gold mid size quartz (36mm) Royal Oak AP. Now my wrist circumference is 17cm and the watch is so comfortable and not chunky which is uncomfortable. What do you think about the mid size royal oaks ? Is it seen as a chicks watch or a poor man’s jumbo????

[@jenks7243]

Old school GMT all day. Love the channel

[@richardman28]

Out of the 2 Rolex. I am a 20 year luxury watch collector and I definitely go for the older version. But only if it is complete.

[@YYLegend]

If AP comes out with a 40mm RO, imma go nuts

[@hishamq89]

What size is your wrist ?

[@xx4rch4xx]

I like the newer more advanced watches of today that are antimagnetic. We have speakers in our phones that have some magnetic properties so my everyday watch is the zblue milgauss and my work watch is the grey wavy zro2 seamaster on nato. I met a guy who had a vintage globe master always running 5 minutes fast and yes, he carries his phone in his left pocket. I know correlation isn’t causation but it’s suspicious to me. You have definitely planted the seed for the 38 ro for sure. Great video man!

[@bobbysebastian3709]

Can you do a review on chiming watches ?

[@larryseiden4858]

Love the GMT with the diamond and rubies. But I do love your Blue SkyD even more. So I swing both ways.

[@daltonimages2692]

I typically like newer models, but that dial is pretty cool and different from other GMTs. I would pick the GMT because of its unique dial.

[@gavinpennington7027]

Great to see a comparison on the sizes and how they wear. If you love watches you love all, old and new. If I had to pick one to own it'd be the new sub with the larger crown guard as it looks slightly bigger on the wrist, the old GMT still looks cool though.

[@hpod]

I love the newer stuff. But I don’t know if that two tone sub black dial is my favorite. So in this comparison I would probably take the serti dial GMT. But generally I would prefer the newer stuff

[@paul5753]

I wear my newer watches regularly and tend to admire/collect but not wear nearly as often, my vintage pieces. Just picked up a 39mm Royal oak crono. (25860st) The size is comparable to a 40mm Rolex. I find the 41mm AP a bit to large. Thanks for addressing the sizes topic. I made the mistake of thinking a 36mm president would work for me and lost money in the experiment.

[@BrettL250]

How big is your wrist? Great video. Thanks

[@jonathanurbano5476]

Love the showcasing if the 15500, for anyone who has experience wearing APs in puclic, do people notice you guys or give you guys looks? Is it as flashy and as much of a status symbol as a gold daydate?

[@MTbone7]

VERY few people notice watches, only people like us do, and we are the minority. No one has ever said a word about my RO

[@MFFM]

that depends really where you at, you see in the Far East, especially in a city, most people judge a person base on your looks, a typical “man” judgement base on your shoe, your watch and your hair before any conversation

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Ive got an ancient Longines 30mm. Yes. 30mm. Then I went up to a 36mm Omega which seemed large. Then a 42mm Breitling which made the Omega seem small and the Longines like a kids watch. Down to 40mm with a Rolex Sub and back up to 41mm with a Datejust. Plenty of other watches in between. A 45mm Tissot for shits n giggles. But the thing that makes a watch appear large is the dial diameter. Chunky watches with clunky bezels and smaller dials can seem smaller than large dials with narrow bezels. Yes 45mm is silly big and 30mm is silly small but it’s all in your mind. Stick with one watch long enough and it becomes the new normal. But it’s fun to chop and change. If you’ve got a skinny wrist and like extra large overhanging watches then good for you. If you’re built like Charles Atlas and like a 35mm Datejust, just fine It’s your cash, your call.

[@alexwithwatches6534]

Enjoyed the content, hope the industry keeps trending back to traditional sizes across collections.GMT ftw!

[@bobbreadmore4416]

Love your videos Roman, I kinda like the new, nothing against the older one, but it is what it is. But I’m an old guy, probably out of the loop.

[@RomanSharf]

Everyone has their preference, thanks for watching regardless

[@mrp9498]

Learned so much about AP from watching your channel 👍🏼 Id take the serti dial GMT over the Submariner.

[@vinceyalone]

I love both vintage and new Rolexes, but I would go with newer. Vintage can be tough with condition

[@junfuchen7385]

May I ask for your wrist size?

[@jharris947]

That smaller Patek looks gorgeous.

[@Pippinm7]

New School Rolex Sub. Great video!

[@kama1078]

Briliant advice and content!!!

[@KC-bv9kf]

Anyone knows Roman’s wrist size?

[@beckwithtl]

Great commentary Roman, I love your show. I wear a JLC Master Compressor Extreme Lab 2 that runs 46mm, and when I wear my Rolex Sub it seems very small. That 38mm AP looks awesome, I think I could wear it, but it would be tough to maintain the rotation with my JLC. I've been looking to get into the AP game, but right now have only JLC and Rolex.

[@erne75]

Not fair when it comes to old Rolex vs new Rolex. The bracelet on new Rolex watches feels vastly superior. In practice there is no issue with the old style bracelet when it comes to durability but the new style feels solid and expertly constructed. With that said, I still love my 5 digit Bluesy.

[@cliveb15]

I love both Rolex’s but would choose the new Sub, great show and I love the 38mm RO ⌚️👍

[@horologyworld8750]

Love that AP Chrono!

[@brucehecht4984]

Old school GMT. I prefer that function/complication over dive time bezel. I have a new GMT version as well as an Explorer 2, so the vintage Rolex would round out the GMT collection. I do prefer all SS Vs two tone

[@i.n.c.fromthetopropes3465]

The GMT by FAR. Great Video.

[@dariusbrainiac]

graet vid roman. that 36mm patek is pperfect. twotone serti gmt beats modern twotone sub. and finally: what would she/he think, seing a man sporting a 34mm op?

[@billcore6295]

Big and bold.... Invicta!!! Lol. AP seems to make the largest watches in the luxury market

[@itstime5390]

Definitely the GMT. Love the dial and the non maxi case.

[@Wa-wk6qk]

Whats your wrist size?

[@0085hm]

Old school always, they have story and something special !

[@giorgiamondani]

Keep up the good work. Regards, Giorgia Mondani.

[@desmondchan9952]

Great video as usual. My vote goes for New school.

[@luisgarza509]

I would go with the newer. I have a 16713 gmt looking to trade up for a ceramic two tone sub saving money to go meet you Roman.

[@simongoddard8490]

Great content again, older GMT please. Hopefully 34-38mm are on more manufacturers radars too.

[@czikra]

Awesome review. I would chose the new Sub, not a fan of the ruby dial.

[@edjustice7755]

Although I have both old and new, based on the GMT and Sub you offered, final answer New Sub.

[@anastasevp]

Hi Roman, i would like the vintage GMT!

[@CWJY68]

New school as old school may have issues if not maintain

[@markgtrheyes]

Trading my 40.9 mm iwc Portuguese in for a gen 1 VC overseas 37mm, as iwc, whilst lovely, just wears too big on my small wrist. A 38mm ro would be good for me too....just need the money!

[@itstime5390]

Oddly I wish you showed the difference I. The 41 and 44 Offshores.

[@larryhall7374]

I would go old school! Love that dial.

[@horologyworld8750]

Old school GMT, Serti Dial is on my wish-list

[@AndrewNuttall]

Normally I prefer the older watches, but in this case I'm not a fan of the gold/champagne dial. If the diamond/rubies were on a white or black dial that would be my pick.

[@MrRKR6782]

New school for me but I’d make an exception for the GMT in that case. 👍

[@redtailpunk]

top quality today and everyday. thanks for the great content said with a good head on your shoulders.

[@higgins340s]

love the grey dial first ap better, much better on the eye

[@christofferpedersen3939]

great show as always Roman and a very fine topic about the size of the watch - I do like the smaller watches :) something struck me with the PP 3970E and since you do have a crystal ball you are the guy to ask 😉 close to 200 K going to down now to about 100 K - so my question is ... whats a fair price for a the common man Rolex 126710BLRO ? at the hight of the rolex batman-BLNR bubble it was going for close to 25.000 euros 🤯🤮 and before the Covid19 the BLRO was standard priced to about 18 -19.000 euros both the batman and the batgirl (and the pepsi too ) have gone down significant in price on chrono24 personally, I believe that the prices will go down much closer to the retail prices for both batgirl and Pepsi, close to the 10.000 euros for a new watch. is there a place on the internet where you can see the price development like you can do for stock prices ? so you can for example type in, PP 5711 and then you get a graph of the price over the last month - year - 5 years looking forward to the next video ;)

[@yoelortiz76]

Old school all day nice watch

[@chinosoria5]

My wrist is 6.5mm or 16.5cm, always check lug to lug size...

[@davev9323]

Like the newer. Size, durability with ceramic bezel. Better movement and with me I’ll keep it until it’s vintage.

[@birajudoshi3463]

I would have to go with serti dial gmt!!

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Very enjoyable!!

[@jakthrpr]

Hello from Israel, if it was given to me I would take the GMT but that is because its more my taste, but my true favorite Rolex is the SkyDweller black dial with roman indices

[@walterprest2406]

Great Video

[@mattlarusso6887]

Have to go with the new!
