I tried a vanguard 45mm at the AD and i found it big, not too big but big (6.75” wrist)

the v41 was perfect instead

the tonneau case with no lugs overhanging help the wrist wrapping in its defence

The size is seen OK, but one thing I worry about is thickness, seen to be too thick, that will make wear large too, btw did anyone know what factory made this?

I wonder if the strap of this watch can sit nice and fitting on a 16.5cm wrist. as there strap can't get to punch any extra holes.

This thing is sweet looking on the wrist!! Hopefully GF can get back in the game and release other FM reps.

What I noticed so far is that the watch crystal is missing the AR coating which in my opinion is a must when it comes to nice movements as this skeleton is. I really do not know if the gen has the AR coating or not since photos and videos are almost impossible to be found on the internet. I have been searching for them the past days and managed to find >5 of them.

No AR is big problem here, I hope they can add AR and even add extra money I am OK with it.

In case if anybody wondering what size is rep are:
Is 44mm x 54mm lug to lug , and 17mm thick.
Seems like huge watch, because by very thick case.

That in the video is NOT 12.8mm or closer to that

to be honest it doesnt look like 17mm thick either...more like 15 or so..

I have an ROO on right now which is 16mm and it looks thinner in the video so I agree with you

17mm is as thick as the KVF RM011 - it will be like a brick on the wrist
