I have been back and forth between the BB and the Santos...I hear the V6F v4 is top dog for the BB. What's the NWBIG for the Santos now? GF? Can anyone speak to this from experience??

This is my GF. I saw the gen a couple weeks ago and it is the closest to it I've seen. Also tried my gen blue straps on it. Took some effort but eventually they fitted.

From what I can see the GF midsize Santos appears to be great, I can't really see any flaws (even the screws on the gen are deliberately misaligned!). I suppose the biggest tell is the sapphire cabuchon but that doesn't affect me. Next on my list....

Please excuse my ignorance but Is the 40mm GF version classed as ‘mid-size’

Cabuchon is the "sapphire" jewel on the crown I believe. Hope I am using the right term.

Yeah, my vote goes to the GF. The other two are quite good, but GF takes the win, especially the bracelet. Better finishing, the tone of the metal and the flat screws.

Never thought I’d wear a Cartier (always seemed like a girlie fashion brand to me) but think I need to try that blue dial version.

I'll admit that it is kinda dressy and sort of classic retro, but if you go for the GF blue dial, you will not regret it Mech :)
