Aren't DW problems very often in Cartier reps?

And I agree, that green dial is AMAZING.

HAs anyone tried it, or can verify that this date wheel can fit the Miyota movement?

Ignore it, i spoke with the seller, he said it won't fit the miyota.

I got the Green BVF Santos just yesterday.
I also saw GEN Green Santos at Watches of Switzerland in London the other day.
I can say that the Gen Green Dial is slightly darker than the BVF.
In direct Sunlight BVF Green Pops when GEN is more subdued.
The date wheel is fine, but not GEN accurate as usual.
The strap is slightly improved in my opinion, Lugs are tighter than a year ago.
Floating R - not present anymore.
Indexes - as per Gen.
Execution overall is A+
But if you want NWBIG accuracy with a green dial, you must invest in a new dial or wait for V2.
I'm pleased with mine tho.

Looks amazing. Since I'm currently also considering to get one. How's your experience after a month now?

I am digging the green, which I believe does not even launch in Cartier stores till June.

I suspect the green pics are the gen, so hopefully some real photos soon.


Is the bezel on the green darker than the bezel on the blue or does it just look that way? I like the blue dial.
