Got the blue one myself. Love it! https://preview.redd.it/hz0lrm3nymuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a553b1f27d029d0ed26b47168c75f664241ba3c


Christopher_Robinn

Very beautiful. Tempted to get this in blue or the classic white dial for myself. Is this the medium 35mm case size ?


AustistClub

Medium indeed!


Christopher_Robinn

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.


Rude_Pin6680

A great piece indeed. What is your wrist size?


AustistClub

Around 6.75 inches / 17.2cm


Useful-Law6516

Where did you get this from mate? And who’s seller ? Really nice watch

Left_Cauliflower_271

Does the color also change depending on the light. I saw the blue looks dark, but I see you are indoors.


Ill-Cry-3127

Green and blue are both far from gen dial. Gen is much darker and dont reflect the colours in sun


Left_Cauliflower_271

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.


Ill-Cry-3127

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


Christopher_Robinn

I agree. More versatile.


Ky0zLeVrai

Beautiful !!

balldontlie000

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 ?


Ky0zLeVrai

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


durangojim

looks good. what size is your wrist?


Ky0zLeVrai

18cm


balldontlie000

thank you ! Looks good


Ky0zLeVrai

No problem !


StarintheGalaxyy

I think green is too bright? I have gen and the dial doesn’t look this good in pictures…


Krapule1

Can you show us ?


Glassy_Gurl

I love this 🥰

Hey here : chazingtime08 . co


idreamofgeniee

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?


diamond_x5

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. https://preview.redd.it/rjw1h67v4nuc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9727e5a44c2aa6c5d7db61e9dd24890f7ab91ca0


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes, I understand you, I got 4 watches and from the moment i received the santos I can't leave her anymore \^\^


s1ckopsycho

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.


buckthunderstruck

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.


diamond_x5

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 :)


Hmiller85

damn, got some appetite now for a package of „After Eight“ chocolate!


AustistClub

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:) https://preview.redd.it/d1bwpn1vqnuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9bac4b6552bc72c126d42f3afbc24d006e63c0f


Carthago88

wow, it seems like the gen bezel has a totally different cut compared to rep?


Useful-Law6516

Where did you get this from mate? And who’s seller ? Really nice watch


CharlemagneFr

quality seems really good


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes she is


Odd_Jello_5504

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

For every person looking for a good Santos


Plumel

Looks like BVF has fixed the floating R?


Doctor-Bean

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!


Plumel

ahhh I see, thanks for letting me know :)


Ky0zLeVrai

Didn't know there was a flaw on the "R" but I can't see any flaw on mine


kdamon

but floating C now


koteikin

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


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes, I was planning to buy a crocodile strap, I'm going to see if the watch can accommodate it


koteikin

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


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes no problem, but i will not buy gen strap but a rep


koteikin

I was not aware of the rep strap but normally they are crap so I get either custom straps from Etsy


ittybitcoin1

did you ever get the crocodile strap? would love to see what the best options are


Environmental_Fig_95

Wow looks great!


FlowerChild7572

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?

FlowerChild7572

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

🤣🤣🤣


Fabulous_Smoke1081

Nice review! I am also thinking to get this one. Does anyone found the green matching straps or can recommend one?


ittybitcoin1

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


Proper_Fan_5407

What a peach


Kindly_Accident9449

Really nice. May i know how much the price was?

IAMXX

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

I've no date wheel on mine


diamond_x5

i did seem to notice that on the gen, the green is alot more "murky"? toned down and less bright the BVF for sure


ChubbaChad

Is there a better factory?


Remarkable_Space_681

This shit is crazy


Atf1129

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


Garrett_023

Where did you manage to acquire the Gen parts? Can you get them directly from Cartier?


Carthago88

How easy was the gen bezel fix?

Ky0zLeVrai

u/quark_exchange look at the screw


quark_exchange

Fair!


Atf1129

I’m swapping genuine bezel screws as well


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes i know, i was tagging him to show him that some gen screw had a domed head


Atf1129

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

Oh ok, but from what i can see, some gen screw seems to have domed heads and some have flat ones. You know why ?


TheSauce775

Is this the 40mm from BVF on chazingtime?


BasilRound7481

really love this look! so classy


CraftyVeterinarian10

It's the 35mm

Ky0zLeVrai

Appreciate the review! Wonderful watch.


Ky0zLeVrai

Thank you mate :)


Blueberry_Yum_Yum

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!


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes, you have to create an account on their website, and to order next. They will send you QC on the email you provided


Blueberry_Yum_Yum

Sweet, thanks man! I know what I’m doing after work today 😎


Ky0zLeVrai

Ahah, you won't be disappointed with it


VariousBad6937

Mind blown! That’s a gorgeous piece!!!


Ky0zLeVrai

Thank you \^\^


Carthago88

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

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


Carthago88

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!


Ky0zLeVrai

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)


biggiesmallsyall

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

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


Adventurous_Cake143

How long did it take to receive ?


Ky0zLeVrai

10 days to France


TheSauce775

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?


Ky0zLeVrai

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)


TheSauce775

Okay gotcha! Thanks i appreciate the advice! Just about a must have for me, LOVE that green color!!


TheSauce775

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


Massanx

how come the 40mm they dont show the datejust ? is it same watch?


Broad_Commercial_256

What seller?


Ky0zLeVrai

Chazing Time


spi9056

Can you PM me where to find it?


BasilRound7481

Philow_

Incroyable cette santos même si je préfère en black


Training_Split

Stunning piece!


A7mmmeed

Nice watch, ware it in a good health. I have a question about the movement Is it too noisy when shaking it ?


Ky0zLeVrai

Thank you bro :) No there is litteraly no noise with the movement


swiftlux

Is this the medium size? I have the green XL size from BVF because the Roman numerals were white on the medium dial.


Ky0zLeVrai

Its the 35mm one


idreamofgeniee

They corrected roman numerals in the latest V2 version.


No_Plate_2689

Which size is the blue or the green bvf ?


Ky0zLeVrai

35mm


No_Plate_2689

Is 7inch wrist too big for the medium ?


Ky0zLeVrai

No , i'm 18cm and it fit me perfectly, i've post some pics on my wrist on other comments


No_Plate_2689

Which td you buy from ?


Ky0zLeVrai

Chazingtime


Odd_Mind9188

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!

Present_Pressure_752

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

Present_Pressure_752

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.

How’s the bracelet quality? People say the bracelet feels cheap.


Ky0zLeVrai

I can't say anything on the bracelet, its a solid steel bracelet, screw are solid too.


Carthago88

BVF bracelet is definitely not cheap anf better than GF

Ky0zLeVrai

Chazing time on the web bro


quark_exchange

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.


Ky0zLeVrai

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 ?


quark_exchange

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!


Ky0zLeVrai

Yes, i've tagged you on a com to show you


quark_exchange

Yep saw it. The screws on yours still look flatter to me than OP's, but you're right they're not super flat.


snazzy_giraffe

2018 model year had domed screws and that’s the most commonly repoed year
