Guys, for this amount+a free, great leather strap+deployant vs the gen there is no reason to even discuss about it.
The blue dial as a rep IS great, the mvm is butter smooth, the date change on midnight is prompt, the rest, especially a hardly noticeable font is absolutely irrelevant imo.
It's a great rep altogether with a very comfy and indistinguishable ss bracelet, the quick change link work flawlessly vice versa.
definitely a new fav was born ;)

Sincerely the V6F or GF Santos reps are so close to the gen, I don't care about the date wheel font. Would be nice if the factories take note, though. Even then, it would not justify an upgrade for me, I think.

Looks like the v2 has a grey looking watch crown or is it just the light?

It's just the light.

I couldn’t resist, I ordered it anyway ????

Unfortunately the first qc pic i got, the date wheel is not centred and sits to the left, so hoping he will change it.

Please can a happy owner tell me if the large GF (blue) will fit to a 8,1“ wrist without buying extra links?

leo6929 has both and he said they're both too quality. I have the GF and had the opportunity to compare it to the gen, will share pictures when I get a chance, and there was no noticeable difference.

Yes, I think V6F and GF are on par in quality. The other factories, not so much. Just my personal opinion.

Just got the GF V2 Santos XL and was curious to see what you guys thought of bracelet. I haven’t owned a gem Cartier yet but the bracelet felt light. Mind you I’m use to Rolex stainless which is completely different. The watch with stainless bracelet is 4.7 oz. Maybe this is now Cartier feels wanted to know thoughts. Thanks!

The gen bracelet feels basically the same to GF, I have a gen and a few reps of the santos
