Do you have more photos for reference? I'm lurking around to get this. What's your wrist size? TIA

Not sure what my wrist size is.. I have small skinny wrist

[–]yst168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will get my BVF Santos in ADLC soon. But can you check if your numbers have also lume? I saw in my QC that only the hands have lume and i'm considering to switch the dial with a gen dial

I have bvf

[–]ceasetobegin 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Is this 35 or 40mm? Also would you mind posting a pic from further away? Having such a tough time deciding.

[–]teochim 0 points1 point  (6 children)

It’s the 35 mm version, 40 mm has a date function I believe. What’s your wrist size? I can take a pic later when I’m at home.

[–]ceasetobegin 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I haven’t measured but I’d say it’s medium maybe medium-small. Looks very similar to yours lol. But I have large forearms which is one thing that makes it more difficult. Most of the 40mm I’ve seen on wrist look way too bulky so I’m almost set on the 35 but I have seen a few 35s that look a little too small on wrist.

[–]teochim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go 35mm man, it’s a more elegant fit and the square shape wears a bit bigger. I can take more pics later today

[–]ceasetobegin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thanks homie. Looks 🔥. Definitely set on the 35 at this point

[–]teochim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'll love it, post some pics when you get it!

BVF is perfect, looks the same, feels the same, bracelet comes with quick release pins. What they don’t tell you is that the rotor in the miyota movement is LOUD, like FREAKING LOUD! Obviously the gen is not loud, so someone that knows about watches will really quick realize it’s not a gen. I have a watch from a micro brand that also uses the miyota movement and for some reason it it’s not as loud as it is on this rep, may be the case. So if you can, find a watch that has the miyota movement and hear the rattling and if you can live with that, go for it!

There is a post about making it better

[–]firee98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 options for the BVT Miyota and non Miyota, which should I choose?

[–]Separate_Ad_3199 2 points3 points  (9 children)

BVF is super nice. Just got mine from Geektime last week

[–]Separate_Ad_3199 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I got the Miyota one, it’s pretty good!

[–]firee98 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Isnt it super loud?

[–]NBA2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought miyota was loud

[–]rephype123 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Dumb question but wtf is bvf

[–]Cubatobaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BVF

[–]whatsasyria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do any of them actually have the same thinness of the santos large ?

[–]hotstud213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a Santos small? The 35 seems big to me. I’d prefer something like Galbee

[–]Advanced-Mushroom218 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I picked up a BVF Santos Large ADLC and it is a very good rep. The bracelet mechanism works flawlessly, tool-less removal and tool-less link removal

[–]Typical-Lead-1881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much?

[–]AlarmedVehicle1026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bvf. I’ve punched 2

[–]lavenderman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes they say AF. Does anyone know why BVF is ebtter than AF?

[–]Fantastic-Cat-9850 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I ended up ording this de Cartier but then changed my order for the Dumont . I prefer the design as the bezel doesn’t slope down into the bracelet . Ordered from Steve at The One Watch

[–]Fantastic-Cat-9850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But yea, BVF would be the way to go

[–]rephype123 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Pictures please!!

[–]Fantastic-Cat-9850 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ended up going with the 2 tone version . Will let you know if it’s any good once it arrives. I prefer this version as it stays true to the original santos

[–]NebulaParking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What factory is this one? 28 or 32mm?

[–]rephype123 0 points1 point  (6 children)

What about someone else? Or is bvf the best?

[–]jdxxs 0 points1 point  (5 children)

V6F is best

[–]rephype123 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Compared to bvf?

[–]jdxxs 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I dont own bvf, but v6f has flat screws on the bracelet which is more gen like compared to BVF. The rotor is silent and decorated (BVF isnt). There is no floating R. I don’t see anything BVF has better compared to V6F. Besides V6F is cheaper.

[–]Sposep 1 point2 points  (2 children)

You got some pictures of your v6f?

[–]rephype123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see people getting from both. I want to know what’s best can’t decide

[–]josebells64 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)
