Hey guys,

I was looking a long time for a 35mm Santos de Cartier f and I was reading a lot about the factories, flaws and the discussion about the best factory.
Today I placed my order at jtime for a 35mm Santos de Cartier from GF.
I read so much about the raid at GF and the quality of the GF in the past. That's the reason why I would like to share the quality of GF in 2024 with you.
I didn't receive my QC-pics so far but I hope that we all can get a better view on the "after raid GF Santos".
Hope you like to enjoy to see how good it is in 2024!
Best regards!

I'm curious to see a side-by-side with the current BVFs out there in the wild. Hopefully, someone will do a comparison soon!

I can probably a comparison to a gen 35mm Santos de Cartier. Will meet a friend tomorrow who own one. Hope he still got it.
I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing that, myself included!

Here and there, but more there
I had the GF 35mm, and it honestly was a fantastic watch. In my opinion the watch is NWBIG, especially on the wrist.
The only downside was that dreaded wonky “R” and the weight of the watch.
I also felt that the screws were a slightly darker tint, but this is me being extremely picky. All of these “flaws” are impossible to see on the wrist
At 5% of the cost, it was a NWBIG. And I don’t say that lightly. I recently had a OP36mm VSF which in my opinion was not NWBIG, despite VSF being one of the top factories for Rolex models.
