I am looking at a Santos de Cartier 40mm SS BVF 1:1 Best Edition White Dial on SS Bracelet MY 9019.
Is the BVF factory the best for Cartier? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance

you are a man of taste.
Why the large? the medium is much classier without the date. and the smaller size is the perfect neo retro look

Not much choices with Cartier reps BVF or 3KF. I see most people buy the BV

I'll go with the BVF then
I have a large wrist, I think the small one will look weird

This thread has all the info you may need. There are 3 factories making the santos GF, BVF and 3KF each with pros and cons. I think most buy either the GF or BVF but can't recall which is better in which aspects

I just got the BVF 35mm for my husband (delayed bc I ordered it this summer and then cancelled it bc it wasn't available then). We both love it. Yes it has a floating R and the gold tone is off but other then that it looks great on him. The smart links are great. I needed a tool to push two of the pins back in when I was taking links out even though you're supposed to only need your hands and you have to make sure the bracelet clicks all the way in when you take it off (otherwise it may detach). Such a cool design and so easy. Here are some pics of QC and real life.
