Might need to pick up the RM027...can anyone confirm if the case is actual titanium? The description on the website says titanium but I just want to make sure/

It's really Ti case and the watch weight is only 103g.
bte the thickness is only 15mm something, the reason why look too thick, it's because the stupid flaw small crown.

The reason why it looks thick is cos 15 point something is f thick !

Don't post often, but very rarely do we see such a level of functionality with no deco plates on a rep. Expensive yes, but looking at some video on Youku (https://v.qq.com/x/page/v0864cw5z6n.html?spm=a2h0k.11417342.soresults.dtitle), the RM027RN rep is absolutely mesmerizing, and I'm almost certain most people won't know/care enough about Richard Mille to spot the flaws, especially when the movement has about 5 layers of mechanical intricacies in it.

Going to pick one up, hope to share with you guys once I have it in hand.

Looks to be 50mm long and 40mm wide, 15mm thick....on paper it doesn't sound enormous, definitely smaller than a big pilot so perhaps the dude has tiny hands?

It’s an RM... they are big watches!! But don’t be fooled, they wear particularly well on small wrists because of the curvature. I’m pretty happy with these dimensions. To put it in perspective the latest/slimmest RM035/RM055 currently available is 1mm thicker than this and uses a Miyota movement which is probably one of the slimmest movements available... this has a fully working skeletonised tourbillon and is slimmer!!!

Ja and when compared to the genuine counterpart it looks like an decent attempt and solid watch.

I am inclined to agree. Looks to be overall a reasonably sized watch with a crazy good looking movement. My guess is that this is a modified version of the Skeleton Tourbillon found on the V45 Vanguard Skeleton....

That really is truely impressive, I've been collecting for any years and I never really thought we'd see replicas get to this level of realism. I'll definitely be ordering this one.

Probably neither, TDs are famous for giving totally inaccurate measurements, especially Puretime!!

DC

yep, I just watch the videos for both watches, 052's dimensions are 44mm*51mm*17mm, and 027's dimensions are 42mm*51mm*15mm

Honestly, the size isn't too bad, the 052 definitely a little thick

On the contrary, they are a TD here!

In any case, I will keep you all poster!

DC

If it get’s lost, seized,..buying from a TD gives you reassurance it will be replaced.

Btw, I like both, 027&052. Don’t care too much about some flaws (thickness is not a problem for me for the 052) which are expected to be present on skeleton reps with tourbillon movements. What I don’t like is the price :D

Anyway, I’ll have to get them both..
