Hello everyone, I have finally received my first BVF Santos 35 mm. I am happy but I have 2 questions. Isn't the white version "whiter"? People always talk about the Floating R. I think this is already the 2nd generation BVF. Can you still see it here? Many thanks to everyone!

Looks pretty white to me 😄 Floating R is an old thing I believe. Your watch looks great, enjoy it!

Looks great, lovely watch!
May I ask if you have experienced any issues with the quick release lugs coming loose? It's an issue I had with my one and am considering replacing it on the hope it was a one off

Hi @C124 - Thanks! I've only had the watch for a week, but so far the clasp works perfectly. I hope you get it replaced!

Glad to hear, unfortunately it fell off my wrist and landed on a hardwood floor and now the watch won't run correctly, bit frustrating but looking to buy another as I love the watch 👍🏻
