deju 1,859 Posted January 23, 2020 The older Santos 2656? Bought a v6 .... very close to gen (brother has one) If going for newer 40mm 100 xl ... BVF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jw2020 1 Posted January 23, 2020 Yes that’s what I’d like to get my hands on, the V6 is the super rep isn’t it? have to either wait till the end of the Chinese holiday or source one on here though. Wouldn’t mind a no date Rolex too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theviking 197 Posted January 23, 2020 Post a WTB (want to buy) I'm sure there are few gathering dust in members watch boxes. The V6 is excellent, but the rep staps are terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theviking 197 Posted January 24, 2020 The straps that come with the reps, worth getting a gen or a handmade croc strap from somewhere like ziczac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They must be re-drilled. I did it and now it's fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BVF Wise speedo man, what are your thoughts on this? A mate of mine is interested in a 40mm (the two below), I know fuck all about these Cartier but did some research... https://jtime.cc/us/santos-de-cartier-40mm-2018-v6f-1-1-best-edition-black-bezel-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-miyota-9015-v2.html or https://jtime.cc/us/santos-de-cartier-40mm-ss-gf-1-1-best-edition-blue-dial-on-ss-smartlinks-bracelet-miyota-9015-v2.html I told him he should stay away from PVD. Seems like the blue dial is tough to get right, but as you said BVF seem to do the best ones atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All in I'd say if its only a PVD bezel it wear better than a whole watch, but time will tell. The GF v2 seems to get some praise these days too. I've been following this thread for way too long: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/cartier/7083469-2018-new-santos/page163 I'm with you it does seem they have hassles with blue dials on every watch. Still a beautiful piece and the chances of having 2 blue dials in the real world to spot a shade difference is low. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
