2018 new Santos

[vcappp]

So the KOR arrived yesterday, it is super nice. if I had to call something out its maybe that the bracelet could be a tad better finished and the loud miyota. Other than that I'm liking it very much. Pics:

Nothing really, it just feels kind of flimsy. My guess is that if I can swap it later for a V6F bracelet or even a gen one (no idea about the price or availability, though), this could be a real winner.

If I really press hard on the caliper it says 9.8mm. It feels really thin on the wrist.

To adress some of the questions some of you asked my wrist is 7 inches. Also, a couple of days ago I went to an AD and compared the KOR and gen. Obvously not side by side, but almost. The case, dial, dial tone, hands, dial markers, bezel and screws seem almost identical to me from a 10 inches' sight distance, so I was very happy with my purchase. However, the bracelet does look different in the brushing and in the screws. In the gen they seem perfectly flat whereas in the KOR they are domed. My guess is that only someone looking for differences could spot that. Some more pics of the KOR:

The gen screws are domed as well. Not sure if they are as domed as the rep but 100% not flat. Bracelet or watch head. High res pic of gen below:

Good info. Then all I have to say really is that it`s all in the eye of the beholder the KOR version is a damn good rep.

is cartier logo still thin?

 

[theinvestigator]

V6F is better though right ?

 

[chrisscarr]

What do you think about that?

Screws on bezel looks similar that gen, better than Kor version IMO.

Don´t know maker, any sugestion?

I'm curious about the quality of the polished finish of the bezel on the KOR rep as opposed to the gen. I guess you found the rep bezel on par with the finish of the gen? And thanks for sharing the pics and your impressions.

Well, I held the gen in my hand while wearing my rep (under my sleeve tough, lol) and I really could not spot any differences with the bezel. The screws are way too tiny to see differences on plain sight. On both the polish is mirror-like, very clean. As to how long that will last with hairlines and micro-scratches, we´ll see. When I start to see some damage on polished steel surfaces on my watches, I use a cape cod and it works very well.

HI. Google analog straps. It should be the first in the cartier section on their web page.

 

[ssr905]

Thanks Spatiumtemporis !
I got in contact with them and they said they would have to check if they have the parts for the quick switch system. They are quite pricy, this one would be 350 USD with a buckle, and thats almost the same as a gen strap. But man... it looks absolutely amazing. I guess it's worth it considering its an exotic leather and it's a custom order. Will let u guys know if and when he gets back to me with the availability.

I guess you are talking about the 40mm model. I’m very interested in the same strap for the ‘medium’ 35 mm incl quick switch.
Await your update, thx

I think you can send them the rep leather strap for them to work on that.

I agree the strap pin will only need to be changed once unless your sharing the watch but most wont be. Can the gen straps fit the KOR perfectly?

 

[coooool]

Dose the OEM original strap fit this model? Kor or V6 or can be fitted in both. Anyone have tried?
