you have to send them your bracelet / strap so they can use the quick change system of it for the new strap. at least the 40mm comes with a pretty shitty rep strap so I just will send them this one - just not sure which color I will chose yet.
Ah I see. Thanks.
Got my gf 35mm from a member that came on a bracelet only, he lost the strap with quick release so it was not included...

It shouldn’t cost too much to get a new one from your TD. Also he could just directly send it to ZicZac then (so you are even save if it doesn’t arrive there).

Very sorry i have see the 102 pages but some notice they are old.
If there is anyone who can help me i would be grateful

Very sorry

Thanks

My dude, they are helping you. That particular watch has been discussed quite a bit and even though some of the info is old, it's still relevant. You'll have to check out each factories versions. They all have certain flaws. It's up to you to decide which of those versions has the flaws you can live with. Good luck!

I have receive my GF Santos 40mm like one week ago now (i have order just before the CNY) , the sticker behind the watch tell "QC Feb.2020, so surely the latest batch from the factory, wow , amazing rep.

the cons for me it's the deployement clasp for the leather strap, it's bullshit (and the leather quality too), but it's "free" so i can't complain too much on that :p , and the "bezel", it's a complete scratch magnet thing, wow .... but it's like the gen.

a part from that, the rep is amazing, the quick link system work like a charm, the miyota is incredible silent (it's the most silent rep with a miyota that i have), build quality and the stainless bracelet is very confortable.

here are some pics of the GF , with the leather and the steel strap :




and here the GEN one, i think it's nearly a super rep, maybe the font of CARTIER is a little too thin on the GF like the date font, but it's very subtle, other than that, the crystal bevel is the same for me, the white of the dial (it's only a matter of natural / artifical light), the blue of the hands it's very similar too




i don't have the V6F / KOR / BVF in hands to be sure the GF wins hands down, but for that i see, GF has done a really good job for the price !


Wait, it looks like the Gen has a misaligned DW, doesn’t it?

Just ordered a GF and had to RL a few due to this issue already..

How does that clasp feel? It does not look comfortable on your wrist. I bought a butterfly clasp from eBay and it doesn't wear comfy.

GF 40mm feels gen to me... HOWEVER, gen is still gen and people kept saying the biggest tell with the GF is the thin Cartier logo font , so....... without further ado here is my solution to the problem :D it isn't just the font, the gen dial is on another level. Having said that, once the gen dial is installed, this is one hell of a superb rep

Stunning, Where did you source the gen dial mate? Who do you use to install it? I am in Melbourne. Would love to know who can do the job.
