Its not only a gen, its actually 2 gens :D

The first picture was posted by worldtimer on facebook over a year ago.

If you get such pictures just simply search for the rm (12-01 written on the front) and you will see in under 2 min, that its all made up.

But its also quite rare, that a completly new rep is a 1:1 on the first release, especially in the rm world.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this one: https://www.asian7750.co/product_show.asp?P_id=6962
Isn't it the same factory as this one? https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTkxMjY5OTE1Ng==.html?spm=a2h0c.8166622.PhoneSokuUgc_1.dscreenshot 58 grams? really?
I wish I knew Chinese. All I can see is nice (except the strap screws position being not low enough, which would be acceptable for me). Winding sounds cheap and loud, but the mvmt's ticking isn't.

I'm asking for your eyes and opinions, because mine may be biased by wishful thinking.

What do you think?

For me the screw position kills it for me. If you dont care about it. Then 1000$ is alot for a watch that have details that screaming fake.
