I think I've been hearing "after CNY" regarding this watch coming out for the past 3-4 years... lol

Looks like the movement has been inscribed.

still no news, found two new photos.
I'm starting to think that all the photos I've been able to find show the same movement
Imagine this being Launched. With goofy screws and horrible carbon and bright shiny sapphire glass

They have to figure someway to get you excited for the V2,3,4,5….
Because it's the gen counterpart - you can see the difference of the regulator/free sprung balance with the adjusting weights.
At first I wanted to say the font of the name is wrong haha
then I checked it is a gen movement.
Oh and by the way - if someone's interested in the 400.000$ movement:

At this point I’m just hoping this gets released, worst come to worst we can always source and older ZF model and do a movement transplant

Pretty sure it'll be over $1,000 with a good clone movement, some are already over that price point currently even without it.

Ahh ok, then the watch itself might be closer to $2,000... man, this hobby is getting more expensive. Lol
V4 case
Gen strap
This movement
Bang!
A RM on the wrist with a “live” movement instead of the dead decorations will be worth the 2k. Realistically it can be done and sold for less I’m sure.

Totally agree, one of the main reasons why I haven't pulled the trigger on a RM is the "dead" movement, a really big ass tell.
If ZF is smart, they'll put this in and sell a ton of them, assuming of course it fits into their case...
RM must be one of/if not the most requested reps right now, and like us, many others have not been buying rep RM's for the very same reason
It's just a patience game until we get the rep movement.
Patience I do not have:rip:
edit: spelling

I’ve had the RM035-01 gen. Not that I went and bought it, took it as part payment for something else (not a watch).
Sold it way before prices get crazy.
But when I saw the ZF V2/V3 immediately you can see the difference. So for anyone that has ever seen one in person will know the difference without having to know much about horology.
It looks the same as the RM35-01 when the power reserve ends, dead.

Disagree. You know the because your a ref forum member and can’t help see the differences.....for all other owners (non WIS) These watches just look like hot messes. I’ve handled more than I care to remember and apart from gen vs rep fit, finish and quality (which is day and night), I certainly can’t spot the visual differences...way too much shit going on the dial
