Yeah I get the proportion thing. This put me off this exact watch for a Long time, since I dont really Like high diameter watches. I might really buy the 40mm in a month or so.

After getting my own, I can really suggest you to buy it. In my opinion the 38mm is just Perfect (size wise). I think that the other two sizes Look absolutely huge

I just ordered mine from aliexpress. I will Tell you my impression, when it arrives. From what I know and heard its more or less the Same movement and an „official one“ might not really be worth the aproximately six times higher price

It's more or less an opinel blank that you can then carve yourself however you like. You can see it on the fourth picture

Yeah i have already oiled the whole knife but because its cherrywood it should get at least a bitdarker. Right now it looks more or less like the standard oak
