I saw some QC photos have updated there dial with no floating R on BVF santos medium. I just ordered too and GL it. Will post it here when my watch arrive 🙂

I asked about this one but the td said they still have small float. As I can see, this one doesn’t have it.

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean float?

Which TD has the BVF in stock as I asked 2 months back and Toro said no stock.

Buy from the one watches.
This is what I mean with ”floating”, look at the R. It’s raised, not in line.

One issue with some of the BVF 35mm is that that cartier text on the 7 marker is offset. Hopefully they fix this and AF dosent have this issue.

I compare the gen green dial to bvf, the gen green is more darker than bvf..its like almost black in different lightning condition. Can i see it🙂

Green dial maybe slightly off but its not too much of a big deal, its changes according to lighting and looks like Gen for the most part. Quality is great. 6.25 wrist took off i think 6 links and fits snug.
Curious to know if anyone water resistance tested these. It states that they are >50M

also, i am used to wearing an apple watch and did find the 35mm to feel small, but I am also going for the lowkey look so it works.

How do you like it? Any comparison to other factory like BVF if you have owned?
AF got better printing (no floating R), lugs and blue polished hands. BVF have better crystal, a little bit less frosting!
