I posted this in another thread, but feel like it deserves its own space for those interested in the green santos either in rep or gen.
If anyone has a gen/rep already, or is interested in getting one, I’d love to hear your thought.
“I went to see the 35mm “green” santos in gen. And it’s so dark!! Granted I was in a shop and not outside in natural sunlight, but the lighting in these places are geared towards making watch dials pop, and still on 90% of the angles it appeared a dark grey / black.
When I expressed my views to the retailer, she advised that a lot of people had come in and said the same.
Each to their own of course, but I was so disappointed, it was nothing like the internet pictures which appear like a sunburst green.
But rant over and to my point. The factories are going to have a hard time with this one. Do they model the dial on the internet photo, or do they follow the gen spec which is far darker?”
