Since a lot of us have smaller wrists and would prefer the smaller size, this once seems to be the only viable option for a 35mm Santos on a Bracelet. Has anyone pulled the trigger? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I have a gen 33mm and wears a lot bigger. Keep in mind that 35mm has a diagonal of 49mm.

As a heads up the bigger flaws

-The printing across the dials of GF are less consistent (there are spots where ink doesnt fully transfer) as compared to gen or even KOR
-The serial # on the back is not engraved deep enough
-Some report problems with the miyota 9015 being really loud

Otherwise its a fine rep, it would be very hard to distinguish as a rep without a side by side

It looks great, I think I will have to buy the santos this year.

Would love to see a side by side of this rep with the gen.

Refreshing this thread since I can't seem to find any info on v6f or bvf for this two tone medium santos. They are about the same price, really don't know which one to pick.

Do you know if this is also a problem on the 40mm version and would you prefer a KOR over a GF for this Model? I compared the different factories and tbh they look all very good to me...

How does this compare to the V6F? I've never seen a full comparison
