You made me look again and I think it may be a fantasy dial - the Cartier website shows the 35mm has metallic applied numerals like the 40mm, but the Jtime pics for BVF look like they're white and inked directly on dial like the regular version.

That’s a big mistake!!!
This will make it easier for the favorito rep now, because that wonky “Cartier” with the wonky “r” was a nightmare!
Can’t believe BVF got that sooooo wrong!

Will receive the QC pics within the next days. So stay tuned!

Hi @Nullinger! Any news on the Santos? I also want to buy one but can't decide which factory. I was told by two TDs that GF is currently not available - only BVF (and maybe 3KF).

 

[rolexianer]

Interesting watch!

GF is best factory , it is a total 1:1 nwtbig, but not available at TDs anymore.
BVF in my opinion is second best option.

Yeah I saw that v6f version was on special on TT, so for the past week I've been reading that long long thread comparing them all. I'm debating between the v6f and the bvf now. Wish there were more opinions on build quality on the v6f. Gf was a no go for me since the screws are not genuine screws, just glued on. I can live with the small c on the v6f and the floating R on the bvf. I want to Which feels most solid when handling.

The "R" in Cartier looks a little bit off. It seems to be BVF. But it could be the angle and the second hand in the way.

 

[Nullinger]

Sorry guys, I have bad news for all of us. After a long time of waiting Lana told me, that GF is still not back in business. Not possible to say if they will come back.

Not been keeping up on how recent the knockout is, but I got one (35mm white dial) from Steve a couple of months ago.

One of the screws has dropped out and I can't seem to get one out from the spare links however much I flame them on the gas hob

That is why I ordered a BVF bracelet, GF is 1:1 and best Santos version, but bracelet has that problem...
