2018 new Santos

[Scottymagic]

KOR is good but seems to me BVF is better. Also the miyota on the BVF does not make noise, at all. Weird. Another comparison pic and the thicknes, they are both 9.8 mm

Also, tried to switch bracelets to use only the better one on both at either time. Size wise they are compatible, but the locking mechanism won't stay put. Bummer.

How accurate is blue dial colour?

 

[timmywatch]

What about the gf regarding accuracy ? Also gf should be 9mm

Frankly, I can't spot any difference in

color. The only noticeable difference is the date font. But only if you do a side by side

leo6929 this is a very helpful comparison...I was going to go for the bf or Kor but your first hand experience review has set me to go with the bvf as I prefer to get best otb as possible.

Wow, so the feel, how is it? Does the bracelet feel like gen or it's light. is it tight?

BVF bracelet is very very nice, compared with pictures from gen looks the same. Links are tighter and closer between them than KOR, but weight is indeed very light. Don't know weight compared to gen, but in my eyes it is almost identical. Flat screws and all.

Pic comparison between blue BVF and KOR. Was happy with KOR but BVF has a better bracelet and excellent finish. You be the judge:

Thanks a lot. I didn’t know what version to buy between KOR or GF because I saw less comments about the BVF replica and I assumed that was clearly worse. But your pictures and info made me change the idea. Seems for you BVF wins them, no?

Blue looks amazing on the Gen. The indicies reflect light so nicely and the contrast with the Dark Blue is stunning.
I cannot comment on the rep as I have not seen it in person. But from Pictures the Rep Blue dial looks couple of shades lighter.

To me the blue looks quite close to gen...the picture above even the white looks creamy in color...this can be due to the different lighting.

First I was team KOR but the BVF is better in almost every aspect. I've held the gen and this is as close as it gets IMHO. Flaws? Maybe the cabochon is too dark and the crystal could have better AR.

I've compared pics and videos and both are about the same color, deep blue almost black. Indices are also the same.

The thing we actually need is more 35mm versions!

For buying extra leader strap, the only option is buy original ones on Cartier? Or there are other options?

bvf blue dial is nice, but the DW is not even close. They must have copied the computer generated date wheel on social media because the gen ones are all thicker and closer in spacing

Zic Zac leather seems to be quite popular. Planning my order now so it coincides with the watch
