The 40mm, as TheGoodGoodLife mentions the 35mm does not have date window.

slashdotcom1 I have seen several people saying that, yes. For me, it was not a nuisance, but I do understand your point of view.

The reason why I chose the 40mm is because I found it the perfect size... much less big than I was expecting, despite my slightly-smaller-than-average wrist.

I would advise to go for the 35mm only if you are comfortable wearing small watches (e.g the Rolex 36mm Datejust).

P.S: Just my two cents, getting started in this rep world :D


What about the movement's noise?

I read a few reviews blaming about the movement which make a lot of noise... I'm looking forward for a GF 35mm but I'm not sure because this noise issue....

PD: 2 GEN pictures @ cartier boutique

Mate, don't get me wrong...i would also prefer the 40mm, but just don't like date window at 6. Another example is the new seamaster 300, beautiful watch and amazing dial...but the date window just stops me from buying it.However...can you tell me if the rotor is extremely noisy or it is ok?

As the matter of Fact, All Miyota movements has a noise problem. sometimes case by case. Quality is enough to satisfy as you can see my photo Bro!
Go get it~~

Hi! Here is my BVF V2 acquisition:
And here my short review of the purchasing process with Puretime. Pity the leather strap not closing though...: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...artier-40mm-2018-bvf-v2?p=8482084#post8482084
Could you post some pics with the leather strap.
I am getting ready to make the purchase after Chinese holiday, and still confused between 2 tones or SS. These pics will definitely put me on the right direction.

After reading over and over this thread and visit AD couple times to try both 35mm and 40mm Santos, I decided to pull a trigger on a 40mm GF from PT today. Understand there will be a delay due to the CoronaVirus. Hope to get it soon. Feeling so excited!!!

Can anyone with a gold or two-tone model comment on how the bezel is holding up? My silver one is scratched despite light use (it seems the gen does the same thing) which makes me concerned about how plating will look.

Is there a women's Cartier that is compatible with OEM smartlink bands? If so what brands and what kind for men.
