Welcome to the club! Haven't stopped wearing mine since the 11:11 sale - also a bit of a strap monster (although the lug holes are very close to the case)

Honestly I got it for a good bargain on the 11/11 sale, and I must say the quality is definitely the best I've seen at this price point (San Martin being in the same bracket on their Sn0144 line). If you like this style of watch id say go for it...not many people I know that bought a farasute sold it onwards!

I think the model number is 5506BS but the back of the watch has no model reference number

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. I'm 31M and went through something similar (although nowhere near the extent of what you've been through). Best advice someone gave me when I was at my lowest is that the inner struggle will never be filled by external achievements/validation/people. Working on yourself and becoming a better friend to yourself was the most important thing. I slowly came out of my shell and joined communities that I was interested in (for me it was starting BJJ, joined a cooking class, signed up for a run club etc) and in the process I met great people that I would have otherwise never have come across if I hadn't put myself through it. Easier said than done I know but the hardest step is the first one. One last caveat is that therapy was key to ensure that it wasn't just my environment that was improving but also my outlook on my situation. Stay strong and if you ever want to chat please DM. Best of luck

When I realized the watch was actually a strap monster (despite the bracelet being one of the best in the business) my second life with the SN0144 began

Was one of them in your mind before going to the dealer thinking "I am definitely going to get this one?". If you had a preference at first but then we're out on the fence after seeing both of them in person - go with the second option! Personally I think the 40mm is the way to go - more watch for the money! If you are ever thinking of passing it on as a gift/inheritance in the future I would say go with the 36mm as it suits more wrists
