How is the bracelet 'feel' wise, does it feel similar in quality to the gen when in hand? Thanks

The GF bracelet is the best of the three. Don't worry about the feel, it does look the part.

Hi all
Many thanks guys for this review of the Santos and all the comparative pictures really helpful.
Finally i will be getting a GF santos- I'm clear about the factory, actually i'm deciding on the size, maybe 40mm because is the most familar size to me ( daily is 5 digit rolex/ tudor/6 digit rolex rotation) but I'm doubtful of seeing it too big and the 35 being too small- if I were for something more dressy i will go for the 35 definetively but I love the ''presence'' of sport watches and this santos is going to be used in the daily (more sporty/informal) rotation.
Could you assist me choosing the size?
Many thanks in advance

I had a similar dilemma, I was afraid it would wear small on my 6.75 inch wrist but I went for the 35 for a few reasons;
1. The 35 wears larger probably more like a 38/39, keep in mind it's a square watch.
2. Personally, I prefer the Santos without the date window. The design feels more purest and elegant. Even on the 40 I feel it feels forced, with the exception of the blue dial. Since the only options were 35 dateless or 40 with date I went 35 and I'm really glad I did.
3. Finally the 35 I feel is more versatile, and transitions seamlessly from a casual to more formal environments. It feels as appropriate with a pair of jeans and a white T as it does under the cuff on a suit. I feel no other brand strikes this balance as well as cartier.

I tried in Cartier Boutique for me and my Girlfriend and definitely 40mm is my size, 35 is too small. To my GF 35 was perfect, she has a very small wrist.
My wrist is around 18cm.
For your reference, The Santos 100 looks much bigger on wrist and it is 38. But bigger case.
So go for 40, and if you regret, let me know and

Hi guys! First of all I really appreciate the helpfull atmosphere of this forum. Thanks for all the help!
So is there general consensus that GF Santos XL is better rep than the KOR Santos XL? Is there anything that is better in KOR version? Size seems to be identic. I found this comparision. Very helpful.

My wrist size is 7 inch/18 cm. Do you think there is any need for an extra bracelet links?

GF is the way to go.
I've got the 35 mm, and my wrist is approximately the same size and I removed a few links, so you should be fine.

Great photo mate! I was trying to take photo under the sun light but still look crap on my iPhone 7 Plus. I think I need a better phone now.

Got my GF 40mm today - measured at 10.4mm which is a bit annoying. I did reject the first one I got QC on which was 10.1mm so there's definitely some inconsitency there

Gen is 9.08mm. I just measured mine GF and it is 9.7mm. Not bad.
