1st Order With Trusty Time! Cartier Santos 35mm

[LedleyKing]

Hello everyone! I’ll be documenting my first purchase with Trust Time here. I have gone for the Cartier Santos 35mm from the 3K factory.

So far communication with Andrew has been great. Placed the order 7/28.

I thought long and hard about the BVF vs 3KF Cartier Santos 35mm. In the end I opted for the 3K one due to BVF dial featuring a floating "R" on the "CARTIER". This was a dealbreaker for me. I will post more info about the differences between the two in future messages (if it would helpful to you guys).

Cheers guys!

"floating R"?

"floating R"?

Yup you can see it in the BVF version. Look closely at the cartier logo on the dial. It's not massively noticeable but to some people it is.

Will do mate! Thats awesome. Dial as in just the inside part?

Also, are the screws on the front and back of the cartier (bezel) the same. As one front screw looks a bit damaged on the front - maybe i can swap them out?

Any example of this floating R?
