I hope this movement changes the RM game, so as ZF feel the need to compete. If only there's a way to cram this movement into their case

I sent email to PureTime to ask about the jewel modification as well. Will post what they reply.

Then where is the edge near the strap? And that huge balance wheel in gold again. Is it a bbr prototype?

Does this have a different movement than the ZF or is it the same?

Agreed, that's a terrible picture for movement ID but my guess is it's the same NH05 from the first-gen ZFs. I can't see the pivot jewel under the balance that would be there if it was the Miyota from the carbon RM55 reps, so I'm going to say Seiko.

I haven't, the red jewel is practically invisible on-wrist and I'm not particularly concerned or bothered by it.

Me neither, Its never been a real issue for me, the sapphire, case thickness and balance wheel have always been my 3 biggest bug bares.
