Cartier Santos - light Franken.

Gen dial and bezel. I need to polish the bezel as it was preowned. The gen dial is remarkable upgrade. Much more sunburst effect. The rep dial looks dull by comparison.

Cheers!

Very nice, what factory is your Santos and did the gen dial require any adjustments or was it a straight fit.

 

[Gitteeup]

Bvf. Straight fit. I was prepared to glue dial feet.

Thank you mate that's good to hear, I purchased a gen grey dial for my Santos but haven't had it fitted yet.

Very nice, tried something similar a few months ago. Have you found a date disc upgrade solution yet? I’ve purchased a gen date disc but it won’t fit

 

[CF_Stan]

The BVF 0037 (grey dial) is really good. Only 2 things I noticed are:
No lume
The gap between the II, III etc is slightly different. On the rep the gap looks the same width as the numeral but on gen the numeral is wider and the gap is slightly smaller.

Not yet. There must be a solution though. I am considering Gen bracelet if I can find one.

That is sharp! Also, never notice the dial spacing of hour msrkerd.

I picked up a couple gen dials and bezels recently, looking to do the same myself. Posting to follow.
Great work, looks awesome!

Love to see your results. Please share once done.

The date version it's only on 45mm?

A Santos gen dial is not that expensive and is a worthwhile upgrade. I think this is especially true for the ADLC models.



The gen date wheel will not fit the Miyota movement used in the rep. I managed to change to a custom one and I must say is a great improvement.

 

[emameme]

It's something possible also for the medium model?

This looks great - where did you get the custom one?
