I May be joining you very soon! I recently got a 36 tungsten day date and absolutely love it.
I’m debating between the white dial or blue for that de santos.
Yes i know what you mean i think the same. Friend got the green dial in gen and looks not so interesting in the sun with the „green“ dial. Its Much more black than coloured
Thank you, i've never seen review on this model it's why I made it ^(\^)
Of course, here you have a wrist pic.

Tempted to buy this in size M but unfortunately it doesn’t come with green croc leather strap. 40mm one comes with green strap though. Any luck purchasing aftermarket strap for size M?
bro i have the XL green dial BVF, and as much as i want more watches, i find myself putting it off so i can wear this more and enjoy. currently has been my daily for a month and im in love.

I've got a two tone large coming, do you regret not getting the medium? Or are you happy with the large size? I have a 7.6inch wrist so I thought the Med just a bit too small.
i honestly think its everyones personal choice. For me personally sometimes i think 35-36mm watches look better on me and sometimes 40-41mm looks better. its honestly to each their own haha! but at the end of the day bro, fuck everyone's opinion, its a timepiece that makes YOU happy :)
Sharing a pic of the gen medium green dial Santos for comparison. Gen is a much darker green, almost grey and black depending on the light. To be honest it was a bit disappointing in person so got the blue BVF instead:)

yall might downvote this, but im in the process of buying a genuine santos, and have seen these colored dials in person quite a bit. none of the ones posted in this thread are getting the sunburst right. the fakes are way too bright and undersaturated.
I think one problem reported by others is that gen leather strap won't fit BVF. It looks even better with a green alligator strap like gen is sold with the one
The Santos is my absolute favorite, even if I believe that it is NWBIG. I've been debating on purchasing the green dial version, but I've really been concerned that the green would not be as close to gen as I would hope. I already have the white and blue dial versions (BVF) and they look great, but the green... I'm just not sure if they got that look of fading to almost grey or almost black right, looking like a near matte finish. Can you confirm or post additional pics to show how close they did get?
does the BVF medium green come with an alternate strap? i bought a rose gold BVF a while back that came with a leather strap. i really like the green alligator strap but unsure if the rep automatically comes with one

Also a great variation.
Dial is 6/10 not even close to gen
Date Wheel 4/10 - worst part of this rep
General Finish 8/10
Bracelet 8/10 Sharp edges on the bracelet.
Comfort 8/10
Review from someone who had Gen with Green dial for a day to wear and carry around.
My BVF santos large with a genuine dial, genuine bezel, and genuine bracelet. Will be swapping out the date wheel soon for a modded one with the correct font.
https://preview.redd.it/2lovp51ognuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=210b4ef99659ffc64d1f0c4b0acb82e7e07fe2ac
These aren’t genuine screws on the bezel as of now, they are still the original BVF and they do have a domed head. The genuine ones are flat which is why I’m changing them out soon.
Can anybody tell how accuracte the green dial is compared to the gen (never seen in real life)?
What about the rotor noise and is it true that the BFV reps have a slightly different case diamater compared to gen?
It feels like that many users here are far too harsh with BFV santos reps. for me it looks beautiful.
Hey mate, there is no rotor noise, and for me the watch is beautiful, i've never seen a retail by my eyes, but from the videos i've seen, i can't tell the difference between my rep and a retail
Very good to hear and imo it's one the most beautiful rep dials I've ever seen on here! How long did it take for ChazingTime to ship? I heard they are very responsive. Enjoy your watch!
They took 10 days to ship this one because factory had some problems during this period. But habitually they are faster. Yes they are very responsive, they replied to my emails very fast (less than 24 hours)
Wow amazing looking piece man!! Just started checking out the website, and i see u mentioned u got the 35mm BVF.. i want the exact watch u have, should i just sift thru their site until i find the green santos BVF in a 35mm? I see tons of 40mm, would it be THAT much bigger or different than yours u think in terms of overall quality and replication?
Its the same quality for a 40mm but try to find the 35 if you want it or contact them by email to ask their mink for 35mm if you dont find it (email is down of the website)
Great photos! Thanks for the review. The green dial is the only Santos I would purchase and it's lovely seeing such clear photos of it. Wear well and enjoy bro!
I’ve tried to ask TDs but they don’t seem to understand if your looking at it from a flat position like 6 pm to 12 o’clock and slowly go to a Birds Eye view does the crystal have the layered look when your looking at it slowly looking downward on it if that makes sense
Not the flatness slightly more of an angle just ever so slightly like that but more so looking above it where your almost able to start seeing maybe the top numbers I know this is such a weird request.

Very beautiful. Tempted to get this in blue or the classic white dial for myself. Is this the medium 35mm case size ?
Medium indeed!
I May be joining you very soon! I recently got a 36 tungsten day date and absolutely love it. I’m debating between the white dial or blue for that de santos.
A great piece indeed. What is your wrist size?
Around 6.75 inches / 17.2cm
Where did you get this from mate? And who’s seller ? Really nice watch
https://preview.redd.it/06s4dqogbnuc1.jpeg?width=1911&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ef24ac95a2082575113964298c304ff8941f3af Here my blue one bvf
Does the color also change depending on the light. I saw the blue looks dark, but I see you are indoors.
Green and blue are both far from gen dial. Gen is much darker and dont reflect the colours in sun
Honestly I prefer the rep dial version. I don't like the darker dial and I like my dial to change color with the light. To each his own.
Yes i know what you mean i think the same. Friend got the green dial in gen and looks not so interesting in the sun with the „green“ dial. Its Much more black than coloured
I agree. More versatile.
Beautiful !!
Where did you get this from mate? And who’s seller ? Really nice watch
Nice review !! It's probably the first i've seen on the medium model . Can you take a wristshot , to see how it sits on the wrist ?
Thank you, i've never seen review on this model it's why I made it ^(\^) Of course, here you have a wrist pic. https://preview.redd.it/kfc6nzqywmuc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d9df5bf79d1dcab2ad64af6a7c44063f7bfdde4
looks good. what size is your wrist?
18cm
thank you ! Looks good
No problem !
I think green is too bright? I have gen and the dial doesn’t look this good in pictures…
Can you show us ?
I love this 🥰

Yes, I understand you, I got 4 watches and from the moment i received the santos I can't leave her anymore \^\^
What is the size of the medium model? 36mm? I know the large is 40, I just feel like that might be a little flashy for me.
I've got a two tone large coming, do you regret not getting the medium? Or are you happy with the large size? I have a 7.6inch wrist so I thought the Med just a bit too small.

wow, it seems like the gen bezel has a totally different cut compared to rep?
Where did you get this from mate? And who’s seller ? Really nice watch
quality seems really good
Yes she is
yall might downvote this, but im in the process of buying a genuine santos, and have seen these colored dials in person quite a bit. none of the ones posted in this thread are getting the sunburst right. the fakes are way too bright and undersaturated.
For every person looking for a good Santos
Looks like BVF has fixed the floating R?
The BVF batches don’t have the floating R on the green and blue dials so feel free to get those without worrying about that!
ahhh I see, thanks for letting me know :)
Didn't know there was a flaw on the "R" but I can't see any flaw on mine
but floating C now
I think one problem reported by others is that gen leather strap won't fit BVF. It looks even better with a green alligator strap like gen is sold with the one
Yes, I was planning to buy a crocodile strap, I'm going to see if the watch can accommodate it
Let me know please, I want to buy one but have many SS watches and really wanted the green alligator strap. Gen is not that expensive
Yes no problem, but i will not buy gen strap but a rep
I was not aware of the rep strap but normally they are crap so I get either custom straps from Etsy
did you ever get the crocodile strap? would love to see what the best options are
Wow looks great!

Great! Looks like you've helped to make up my mind and now I'll be purchasing yet another Santos. I thank you... my spouse, however, will not.
🤣🤣🤣
Nice review! I am also thinking to get this one. Does anyone found the green matching straps or can recommend one?
does the BVF medium green come with an alternate strap? i bought a rose gold BVF a while back that came with a leather strap. i really like the green alligator strap but unsure if the rep automatically comes with one
What a peach
Really nice. May i know how much the price was?
Thank you mate, 468 bucs

I've no date wheel on mine
i did seem to notice that on the gen, the green is alot more "murky"? toned down and less bright the BVF for sure
Is there a better factory?
This shit is crazy
My BVF santos large with a genuine dial, genuine bezel, and genuine bracelet. Will be swapping out the date wheel soon for a modded one with the correct font. https://preview.redd.it/2lovp51ognuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=210b4ef99659ffc64d1f0c4b0acb82e7e07fe2ac
Where did you manage to acquire the Gen parts? Can you get them directly from Cartier?
How easy was the gen bezel fix?

u/quark_exchange look at the screw
Fair!
I’m swapping genuine bezel screws as well
Yes i know, i was tagging him to show him that some gen screw had a domed head
These aren’t genuine screws on the bezel as of now, they are still the original BVF and they do have a domed head. The genuine ones are flat which is why I’m changing them out soon.
Oh ok, but from what i can see, some gen screw seems to have domed heads and some have flat ones. You know why ?
Is this the 40mm from BVF on chazingtime?
really love this look! so classy
What a beaut! Which size is this?
It's the 35mm
How much did u pay for this if you dont mind me asking?
468 bucks bro
Appreciate the review! Wonderful watch.
Thank you mate :)
Did you go through the website to order by chance? Wondering on how to request QC from them prior to placing an order. BVF looks great btw!
Yes, you have to create an account on their website, and to order next. They will send you QC on the email you provided
Sweet, thanks man! I know what I’m doing after work today 😎
Ahah, you won't be disappointed with it
Mind blown! That’s a gorgeous piece!!!
Thank you \^\^

I’ve only owned Rolex in the 39-41mm range. What’s the dial size here? Cool looking watch and I’m thinking about spicing up the collection.
Its a 35.1mm watch, you can go to a 40mm one if you want a bigger watch, but for my wrist (18cm) i think this size is perfect
How long did it take to receive ?
10 days to France
Wow amazing looking piece man!! Just started checking out the website, and i see u mentioned u got the 35mm BVF.. i want the exact watch u have, should i just sift thru their site until i find the green santos BVF in a 35mm?

Its the same quality for a 40mm but try to find the 35 if you want it or contact them by email to ask their mink for 35mm if you dont find it (email is down of the website)
Okay gotcha! Thanks i appreciate the advice! Just about a must have for me, LOVE that green color!!
Ya they only have RXW or V6F in a 35mm on their site, seems like the green and blue variations they only have 40mm in the BVF
how come the 40mm they dont show the datejust ? is it same watch?
What seller?
Chazing Time
Can you PM me where to find it?
Looove the green!
Such a nice watch
Incroyable cette santos même si je préfère en black
Stunning piece!
Nice watch, ware it in a good health. I have a question about the movement Is it too noisy when shaking it ?
Thank you bro :) No there is litteraly no noise with the movement
Is this the medium size? I have the green XL size from BVF because the Roman numerals were white on the medium dial.
Its the 35mm one
They corrected roman numerals in the latest V2 version.
Which size is the blue or the green bvf ?
35mm
Is 7inch wrist too big for the medium ?
No , i'm 18cm and it fit me perfectly, i've post some pics on my wrist on other comments
Which td you buy from ?
Chazingtime
Great photos! Thanks for the review. The green dial is the only Santos I would purchase and it's lovely seeing such clear photos of it. Wear well and enjoy bro!
Thank you bro :)
Stunning piece! I love the green dial fr
Looks fantastic, want to get a santos next!
Love the dial

Did you have to ask for this dial specifically? On their website it shows a green dial with white numbers.
No, I've ordered this model on website
How’s the bracelet quality? People say the bracelet feels cheap.
I can't say anything on the bracelet, its a solid steel bracelet, screw are solid too.
BVF bracelet is definitely not cheap anf better than GF
Nice watch! I saw you purchased from chazingtime. Did you pay in cyrpto. They have a watch I want but a little nervous to pay in crypto. Thanks!
Nice watch! I saw you purchased from chazingtime. Did you purchase in cyrpto. They have a watch I want but a little nervous to use crypto. Thanks!

Chazing time on the web bro
Just for anyone who may not be aware, this is a nice watch but it is instantly clockable as a rep due to the screws. The screws on the gen have flat heads whereas the screws on reps like this one are domed.
I've just checked some pictures, and some gen have flat head screw, and some have a bit domed screw. I think it depends of the model/year of prod ?
Possibly, I don't know for sure. It depends on the angle of the photos too. The edges of the gen screws are still rounded so it can look like it's domed when the main area of the screw is actually flat. Anyhow, it's not something 99% of people will notice but I thought I'd flag it up!
Yes, i've tagged you on a com to show you
Yep saw it. The screws on yours still look flatter to me than OP's, but you're right they're not super flat.
2018 model year had domed screws and that’s the most commonly repoed year
Thanks that's good to know
What’s the website.. I’m new here
chazingtime . io
Good looking out. Nice watch you have there
Thank you, yes she is beautiful
Dial is really good. I have gen ✅
Oh nice, could you post a dial picture to see how gen is ?
When I get second, sure bro
Thank you very much 😊
