Contact your TD directly. I just emailed Zack asking about buying the rubber bracelet for mine (bought a couple of months ago). And he said R8F was closed. It wasn’t clear from him email if he meant closed for good or closed temporarily.

Received the V2 from JTime today. The crystal is about 1mm or even less, too high and not flush with the case. Maybe that's a one off issue.

Didn't notice it on the wrist to be fair. Has the same presence as my 15400 just with a Tourbillon.
Who knows how to size the bracelet? I have taken the screw off of two links, but it's just a small screw end cap and not the entire screw that comes out. Is the other part a push pin?
Yes, once you unscrew the cap, you can push the pin out. Insert your pusher into the hole left vacant by the cap screw.

Is it ceramic or pvd coated ?
Does anyone who owns one of these also own another AP rep from a different factory? I'm not giving this beauty enough wrist time, and it's 100% because the bracelet is hella uncomfortable. But I'm curious is R8F's AP RO bracelet is just bad, or if all AP RO bracelets are uncomfortable. My complaints are that the bracelet has sharp edges, and that my hair often gets caught (and pulled) in between the bracelet links. I don't have any comfort problems with my VFS / CF oyster bracelet'd reps... and I'd love to give this rep more wrist time. Many thanks rep fam!

You're right. The bracelet is hella uncomfortable. It's sharp and edgy. I have a ZF 15400 which is a bliss on the wrist. Barely notice it when wearing it.
That's great to know... hmm is the ZF 15400 bracelet 27mm like the RO Tourbillon? Or is it 28mm? I wonder if it'd be possible to swap to a metal bracelet from a better factory.
I ended up ordering a rubber bracelet from AliExpress (low expectations)... but I feel like wearing this piece on a rubber strap tales away from the BDE that I was aiming for. I'd love to find a SS 27mm AP bracelet that fits the lugs and doesn't feel like I'm wearing a razor blade factory.
Updated Tourbillon
Will also do white Gold Bezel Screws. Pictures when watch is finished.

If you manage to replace the exposed gear below the hand stack with one of the correct diameter, I think you would have a winner combined with whatever you (Domi) is doing.
