When I tried on the gen at an AD it wore very similar to a 44 luminor case. I will say the lug width makes it feel almost a little smaller due to the narrower strap.

Strap blows. But so does the gen. Wish they made it in adult size. I'm hoping to find a nice gator or shark in a longer length.
You will not be seeing a second batch for a long time.
May I ask how you and where you got this info? I ask because I had a problem with some manufacturing flaws with my QC pics and am waiting for more stock to arrive before receiving another set of QC pics. I already have the gen so wanted to do a comparison with this rep. Just no idea about the wait but if you say it will be a while then I would like to know why. Thanks in advance.

Damn Bimmer, is your hand purple, from the pic it looks like its cutting off circulation.

In the picture I have the strap on the next to last hole. The quality of the watch is excellent. It's not a show stopper , but neither is the GEN. More of a low key watch. I do love the bezel lume. It's the main reason I'm adding it to my collection. The price is fair as it really needs no mods. The strap on the gen is just as terrible as this. Feels thin and cheap. I am looking for options right now.
The watch will not be in stock for a while. Trust me when I tell you. If you see one pop up for sale , grab it.

That sucks. I tried to snag one from the TDs but of course they are all out. The dreaded wait continues for the mythical 2nd batch........
What Bimmer mentioned is right.. most TD have already sold out. Ive email Ryan yesterday intend to purchase 1 or 2 sets lug screws for spare but was told they dont have the parts & apparently fifty fathoms all are sold out.

Be careful, I've already lost two of the hex screws at the lugs. They must have been loose from the factory and worked their way out. Strap still holds but I'm worried about wearing the watch with two of the hexes missing. Strap could come loose.
Waiting on PT to make it right and provide the right hex tool specs so we can tighten the screws on this beast.
GREAT WATCH for something as stupid as this to happen. Typical chinese. Near perfect execution on all the parts, then they hand it to a four year old to put together.

First, I want to apologize if I mislead anyone on the hex size, as I said the number I had was for the gen, I assumed it would be close but apparently not. Would be nice if they threw in a couple of proper sized hex keys for the price.
The rule with reps is ALWAYS tighten every screw and watch them closely for a few days with Loctite 22 handy for any that want to back out even when properly torqued. In the end it is hard to avoid hardware loss, I noticed a "cap screw" on my PO GMT bracelet was missing even though I am anal about checking and monitoring screws. Fortunately, I have plenty of extras on the links I took out.

Well... I'm afraid no second batch is coming at all.. Very expensive production and not a very popular main-stream looking watch imho.. So maybe the maker decides to stop the production sooner or later? ... Damn that would be a pain in the ass but great for the ones who has one, actually.
BE CAREFUL ......a friend of mine in Italy was losing one of the hex screws at the lugs, luckily it was in the watchmaker shop and
found it on the glass table and fixed with light threadlocker.....I saw the watch -----Very Great watch

Yes I just got two replacements. They are locked in with some clear nail polish.
