Looking promising! Still missing depth in the ''tourby'' area. If they are not gonna fit a tourby they should make a gear below the balance.

I hope so as I actually think it looks terrible. There is so much detail missing still. I know they will not replicate the gen movement, but this is a pretty poor effort. If this is what we have been waiting for, then I am giving up on ZF coming out with anything decent in the 011 series, and may just take a punt on the KVF.... I want one in RG and grey, so more suited as a summer watch.

ZF, you got 4-5 months to sort it

What is all the time, money and hype for when they come up with projects like this or even nothing particular...?

All i hope for is that once ZF releases one of their high end 1:1 cases that the RM game will step up while the competition gets bigger and other decent case sets appear on the surface.

Otherwise it seems to be the case that they try to develop and rep new models on a hit and miss base...

In the video, the guy said: there is lots of detail needs to be revised. in Chinese. So still we need to wait for the new progress that they are working on.

ZF RM SKULL PHOTOTYPE MOVEMENT VIDEO
They fit a balance wheel in. But no tourbillon.
Much better than before, but still years to go.
Huge respect to ZF

An non working tourbillion is just a BS rep, no matter how nice the skull they made... Lol

It’s a very long wait but It seems we will have to wait for those watches much longer then expected.

Angus said “They (ZF) are busy in making other watches, RM is no longer their first priority anymore :(

Lol! Don't think it ever was. If they really bought an original to clone, doesn't make any sense to abandon the project or even put it off for later. Let's face it. ZF ain't gonna make an RM.

I think they gave some difficulty with the replication.
this whole thing reminds me V6F Patek Philippe Nautilus hype!

There was pictures posted somewhere on the forum of the gen RM11 taken apart. There are also pics of the reps of movement plate as well as the case and strap, it seemed like they had done too much already to abandon it. Maybe they ran into issues with some of the parts suppliers and it’s delaying the whole thing.
