Awesome mate! It's a nice and reliable watch to say the least!Had mine on yesterday also [emoji1417]
Very dressy and a change of strap would be it versatile!
Have you tried it in nato? I'm wondering if it's nice on nato..

Thanks bro. I think a nice, rich colored brown NATO will work perfectly on this. Something in the darker, brown/red patina
Hahahaha ikr gonna have to try it one day if I can find such a color

There's no shortage of colors. You're going to spend more time deciding on how many you want

I'll look into what I can mix and match with when I have the time for it, you're sticking to hornback for the time being??

Thanks bro, yes the strap is stock. It's not that bad for a stock strap. I've had worst before but it would look 100x better on an upgraded strap.

I know most will agree it looks to big, but I feel very comfortable with it on my 6.3' wrist. Lots of compliments from one week of wearing it.

Agreed w you on that! 6.3" as well, but the rbii rep strap actually fits quite well on my wrist too. [emoji16][emoji106] lovely piece!

I was lucky enough to get this one m2m with a few nice mods, lwo and gen strap. It feels and looks amazing.
For those who are scared of 44 ap, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I just wanted to mention another <40mm watch I noticed on a TD website, the Blancpain Leman. It is listed as being 38m x 9mm and it looks like a decent rep.
from here
I was comparing this watch with some listings on Chrono 24. In all, it looks very close. The date window looks a tiny bit inside of the gen position; but if it is, it is a small distance.
As mentioned, the caseback should be closed. The thickness is mentioned, the gen appears to be 8.9mm while the puretime listing (linked here) shows the rep as 9.5mm.
According to this post, the gen is ". . . powered by movements based on the Piguet 1151. Piguet is a sister company of Blancpain. . . " Overall, it looks like a very good rep; but not a super rep (for whatever that means). It looks good, it is less than 10% of the price of a gen (for that matter, the gen is not terribly priced). No, I do not think it would stand up to a close inspection with a known gen in one hand, and the rep in the other; but few reps will stand that inspection. I don't think that I would hesitate to recommend it.
