I'm pretty new here as well... I want to know what the most accurate rep is... I would really like a 055 but the movement and case is much much thicker than gen but would be down for something in the meantime as long as it's fairly accurate. I know no one has the NTPT down yet so I think metal or ceramic is the way to go.

that’s what i’m hearing I heard the forged carbon looks cheap on rep also they are saying there is now asian tourbillon movement on one of the new reps ? I believe the rm001 ss has it? but pretty pricey for rep anyone else seen this model in person?

That rumour has been going on for years. It'll never happen. KVF is the way to go. They've released an updated carbon case (not sure on which model) that looks closer to what it should look like. I personally own a KVF RM055 with the "crappy" carbon, but I love it all the same. Just wish the strap options were easier to come by.

It’s been said that RM is not being priority for zf.
Lets face it, we won’t see any ZF RMs anytime soon.

I dont really think someone should buy a replica of RM. You cant fool the people, unless you drive a €300K car and wear a €20K suit.
Im not judging, thats just my opinion

and what if the whole rep game isn't meant to fool anybody? Think about the design that one likes and not always the whole prestige and branding stuff.

well said, i really like the RM design, and i know there is no way for me to purchase one anytime soon, if i view the rep as a regular watch that tell me the time and looking really cool, i'm satisfied, and that will be enough, i dont go around show off to people or on insta, thats a different story

is there any clear indication between the KVF models, ie if you bought V2 how do actually know its 2 if you havent seen V1?

I'm a relative nooB to RM, but I figure most of us are. Please enlighten me (maybe others would like to know too) if I'm wrong...
Most RM reps have frozen gears, i.e. They look good in pics, but in videos and real life it's very apparent from the wrist that it's a rep to anyone who knows about RM.

Therefore is something like an RM10 (time only), or an RM001 (working tourby) most accurate in this sense?

gen rm011 don’t have any crazy moving gears on the dial only when its changing date similar to reps.
There are some slowly moving gears when running chrono but you can barely see it when when you squint your eye.

Thank you. It looks a bit bulky, but at least we have multiple options for various tastes.

Considering no rep of an RM is going to be that close to the 150k plus gen I'd buy the one you like.
