Best santos 40mm right now?

[romito_21]

Hey guys
i’ve done a bit of lurking around for a santos the last few weeks.

and im just curious to know whether the GF or the 3kf is better?
any experience with buying either one would be highly appreciated!

thanks so much can’t wait to hear from everyone!

Neither. That’s for you to decide. No one can give that answer but you. You have to determine which flaws you can live with and which ones are a dealbreaker. Then you will have your answer.

I recommend 3kf.

Someone compared it to gen here:

These reps are so good. Honestly doesn’t matter which one you get.

I wouldn’t bother reading all that thread and familiarising yourself with the silly differences wrt gen. you’ll only love the watch a little less.

If you like the watch, then just get 3kf and enjoy it.

It seems the three main factories for the best Santos reps are GF, BVF, and 3KF. What are the flaws or pros/cons of each factory? Or where can I find this information to read?

There’s a lovely search button in the upper right hand corner. Get acquainted to it and you will find everything you’d like to know.

Mate, gorgeous watch you have there. Is this the GF V2 with miyota9015? Plan to get the same one for myself.

What are some recommended TDs for the 3KF? I want to put in an order for a YG/SS this week.

All TD’s can get it. There’s no magical TD that gets a better one than another.

I get that. I just went through a whole bunch of TD’s sites and saw different pricing and that only some had it in RG as opposed to YG.

It was more of a, who’s worked with one successfully and had good communication.

Thanks. Went through everything. Made a purchase with Li at Jtime the other day. Waiting on QC photos. Will eventually updated once I get the watch.

That's a very clean looking watch.

How's the quality on the bracelet? Does it feel rattly, cheap, and flimsy, or does it seem quite solid? A cheap feeling bracelet is the dealbreaker for me. Thank you.
