Best RM rep to buy?

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?

RM001 is the best and as I said before, only a handful of people would have seen a Gen.

I really like RM watches but I don't feel like rocking one because of the price tag but I still wish I could wear a RM035. Any alternative as a homage watch ? or a non-branded version ? Thx

Assuming they are still available, buy an RM001.

I’ve gone through countless RMs, had RM055s, an RM027-02, an RM011, several RM035s... none have felt quality enough, all been too bulky and tall... but then the RM001 came along and everything was right with the world!!!!!

Slim (well slim for an RM at 14.5mm) nicely curved (most RM reps don’t get the curve of the case right) and best of all is a real actual working tourbillon!

Winner winner chicken dinner!!

I would recommend an rm 011 I have two rm 35 and the miyoya movement is very much visible under the faux gears. Carbon cases are crap unless u get the white quartz ntpt which is impossible to find at any TDS. Rm 11 main flaw is the month wheel which doesn’t move but the titanium/steel version u get a real wheel which is frozen in place. Rm001 is great but much pricier and harder to service but is slim unlike rm 11. No perfect rep or near perfect rep unfortunately.

Hey guys, im new here, popping my RWI cherry with this post lol. I've tried searching for info about H-maker RMs but haven't found anything. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts about this factory?

I came across it on a non-TD website (rm35-01 on findreplicawatches.me). thought the FC looked as good as z-factory and there wasn't a pink jewel!

This is a scam website, DO NOT buy from this site!!!

The pictures of the RM035-01 that you mention are pictures of a gen, there is no rep of an RM35 that is less than 16mm!

Thanks DC. Makes sense why no one was talking about it.

Were you happy with your QC pics from z factory?

No, carbon pattern on my QC was nowhere near as good as in pictures I’d seen so I rejected it, but as it wasn’t technically a factory issue I just got a credit which I’m putting towards the purchase of the RM027.
