2018 new Santos

[John_Mary]

I made it myself, not easy for me though due to that quick switch

That is freaking cool. Great work man. Looks awesome.

Yea unfortunately the watch I got m2m came only on the bracelet without the stock strap. So I don't even have the quickswitch links. Not sure where to get those at a reasonable price.

no, it was feb 2020 batch so it shouldn’t be v1. will post some pictures later.

There's only 2 versions and V2 just came out..which means yours can only be V2? I think you may be mistaken?

Has anyone here owned the GF V2 blue dial? From the pictures on TDs’ websites, the V1 feels more accurate than the V2 as the dial colour on V2 is a bit purplish blue. Would love to hear your opinions!

I see... Love your gen dial mod so much! Do you mind sharing more pics to compare the gen and rep dial side by side please? Will really help me a lot on the decision! :angelhead:

Nicely done, could you please describe the process of attaching the quick switch mechanism on the leather?
Thanks in advance and enjoy what you have done cause it looks way better than the gen cartier ones.

Generally I think the VSF has better brushing and a warmer steel color, but that could be luck of the draw with mine. Also, the screws on the bracelet are identical on the V6F and the GF.

Hello leo6929. I hope you had a merry Christmas!!
just one question if you ever find the time to respond.
have you by chance measured the thickness of each of the santos you own?-KOR, GF, BVF and V6F Santos.
I realized TDs are not giving accurate info and just passing on what the factories claim which are wrong.
would be really appreciated!!
thanks again!

Thank you so very much Leo! the V6F and KOR are shockingly thick. TDs can be very cunning with 'just passing on the info from factories' attitude. Always listing the thickness wrong.
This clarifies a lot!

New GF V2 Cartier Santos 40mm arrived. Any Cartier Santos experts?

Realllly like the second from the top. Need more details to see how it would compare to the gen but it looks like a solid offering.

Came here to get other's thoughts and opinions also haha

I've just ordered the GF v2 Santos in blue, the main thing I notice but can't find a gen to compare it to, is that the frosted edge of the crystal is a lot different to the v1 but I don't know what it's like on the gen.

Same here. Just saw the gen a couple of days ago and I'm starting to like it more than the blue dial. Too bad its not as popular as we hope it would be

how is it different? Most TD's I know got rid of pictures of V1 from their websites. Do you have a comparison picture?
