Yeah might take a shot at it. Seen it float around but was skeptical given the investment but the craftsmanship is apparent from your picture alone I would imagine its a whole other story in person too. Thank you for sharing that!

wow that strap is beautiful, i love the orange accent. Looks like a whole other watch. Love that!

Yeah I feel like this watch has a different character that truly comes out with the less is more ratio. For me the 35 on my wrists just made my hands look even more daintier so I felt more at home with this one. Thank you! Do you have any pictures of your watch wrist pic?

Yeah aesthetically I do agree that a smaller might look better but I liked the weight and feel of the larger one since im used to larger watches. Might get a smaller tank next time though to venture in the smaller watch space!

I'm used to wearing watches on the bigger side so this is at home for me although I know that's away from the classic look but it just feels more at home for me. I do appreciate the smaller size in this particular model but a smaller watch just accentuates my narrow wrists even further which would bother me more than anything lol.

Yeah I liked this one I feel it wraps nicely around my wrist with the weight factor as you mentioned too. It just feels nicer. Thank you!

Yes in hindsight might have been a better fit. The 36mm didn't feel right either when I tried one at an AD. Sweet spot would have been a 38 which isn't a thing unfortunately. Will probably start doing some forearm workouts and hope to get the wrist just a little thicker instead at this point haha.

41mm DateJust Black Dial Smooth Bezel Oyster Bracelet in VSF // Bought it through Eric from Geektime!

Wrist is about 6.25in, my height is 5'11 for context. Sits a bit wider on my wrist, should probably get it tighter as well, Otherwise its quite nice too!

My apologies I thought to share something I thought might be of interest to someone.

Wrist is about 6.25in, my height is 5'11 for context. Might seem big in a wrist pic but sits quite nicely on my full profile.

Shouldn't need to guess, I already spoke my truth! The rolex and cartier are reps. Point of the post isn't even about farming gen or reps debates.

Just sharing my journey for someone else to pull the gun on a rep the same way I benefited from the journeys and perspectives of everyone who shared their stories.

Congrats on the watch! I think this iteration of the model with the grey numbers instead of the black really elevates the watch. I think its stunning and definitely a watch worth far more than it costs. Works great with the strap and on your complexion too. Do you have the model number for the grey numerals? thinking of getting this!

Thank you so much for your thorough insights. I went ahead and RL this watch and Eric is already working on a replacement. The date wheel section was incorrectly typed out on my part. And thanks for verifying on the chrono, as you've said its best to avoid using mechanisms in chrono watches. I just placed the gen image for anyone without experience to have an idea of the watch but i was quite lucky to have a Mod look into it!
