We did mention it!!!!

There was a whole new thread about it but it got closed because people couldn’t be civil, lol, but after it got closed we discussed it here a little bit, a few pages back!!!

ahhh, I thought everyone will be more surprised/annoyed by the feeble attempt by ZF... oh well

Just too bad is not a RM11, to me this latest version looks great, just too bad about the rotor.

frankly, apart from the gen parts compatibility, I feel like ZF's release lags behind KVF/Z Fac - at least when it comes to the movement deco..

What parts specifically? Some of the finishing looks better. It is a little flatter though. But that's understandable. They squeezed the thickness down to gen thickness. I'll take that trade-off.

Yeah everyone seems to think that, personally I can’t see what everyone is talking about. The winding barrels are a little more crude but other than that it is virtually identical to KVF deco to my eyes. Aside from that I observe the following...

Better mid case by a million miles
Better crown by a million miles
Better AR
Better Thickness
Better bezel dimensions
Better bezel screw size
Better carbon pattern (than KVF)

... but yeah sure, because of the slightly less refined movement deco it’s a disappointment :rolleyes:

I don’t know what it takes to please people round here sometimes!!

A flawless 350-400$ Rep of the 130.000$ counterpart with:

real TPT case/bezel, skeleton clone movement with two separate barrels, white functional jewels and if of course box and papers for additional 150 bucks haha

is that too much to expect? :D

I guess it's the whole expectation disappointment theory all over again.
What bugs me in particular is the grey sandblasted area from 12 to 3 o'clock. But it can't all be perfect aye?

Angus said it multiple times that this is a prototype for pictures and the missing part that sits over the stem will be added in a few days.

Thank you for fielding that one, I’ve explained it to so many people I felt I was about to lose the will to live, lol!

It’s just a piece of deco plate missing, no way is that going to be how the final piece looks. Things like this have been common in the rep world for years, photos being of early sample pieces with all sorts of things wrong. It’s not unusual.

Can’t see how one missing part change the whole movement. The gears and everything are just off. Not what I expected after this long wait

unfortunately its horrible and looks poorly finished like every other KVF release of the RM011... unfortunately.

... this case shape is killing everything.

They still can't seem to fix the date window. The depth, and maybe the spacing between the two numbers, are still totally off...

they don't fix or update anything. They mix up colors and use different cases. KVF was never comparable to any of the other major factories regarding their updates on new releases.

I’ve had several RM011 as I really like the model, but it is the case shape (and more specifically the thickness) that lets it down. I’m hopeful of an eventual ZF release, as I’d really like to have an RM011 in the collection... preferably in rose gold with titanium mid case!

Just to refresh Angus insight picture from 1.5 years ago or so.

Case shape won‘t be the problem i guess haha



Hmm, well as that was a long time ago there’s no guarantee this is how the project looks now, but more importantly one can’t see the thickness from those pictures, that is the real challenge!

Lets keep fingers crossed, and in the meantime let’s hope we don’t have to wait much longer for QC pics!
