Case shape and screw position is really good,carbon pattern we ll have to wait and see some more examples,
The movement is rubbish though,deco as well,and that pink jewel.I just dont get it..
Its a watch that will sell good amount of pieces and yet they do so stupid mistakes,for me i think its the usual greedy shit so we can have a v2,v3,v4 etc.

Puretime listed the thinness 14.3. Deco looks bad period but this is the best RM035 we got in terms of case and carbon. I'm interested in RM011 and RM052 rather that RM035 but end of the day this is an impressive improvement excluding the movement and its deco...

where did they list the thickness? Cant see it on their site.

Also interested in the RM011... The carbon pattern of the "Z-Maker" rep would add well to this new release.

Additionally i cannot quite understand why they keep using the 8215 (most presumably) while it is twice as thick as the 9015 miyota but comes in the same diameter... Plates and balance wheel are hidden anyways so why bother about internal structure when achieving more reliability and an even thinner case.

Still one of the best alternatives up to date. Hopefully more great watches with that lovely case shape will follow.

Click the New Arrivals section under the promos and there it is. Gotta say carbon looks sick and it is one of the best alternatives period shame on that movement deco.

Why the hell they don't do the closed case back is something that i can't understand!

That could have been a lot worse... I think that’s fair given the case etc!

To be fair, the movement deco isn’t as bad as it first looked on the “New Release” shots, it’s certainty no worse than the other offerings currently available.

I’m in just as soon as anyone else can get it!!

I would like to disagree on the Deco part.

KVF had much better Deco.

Top KVF and Bottom ZF

KVF's deco with ZF's Case and Thickness will be a great RM 35-02.

100 percent dude that would be the best combination for RM035

I must need my eyes testing as they look identical to me (bearing in mind Puretime have already said there is a piece missing in the photos (around what would be the keyless works).

Couldn't find a better picture of the kVf 35-2

But here is a better pic if 35-01 you'll see the finishing and the details are much better. It's far from Gen but Better than ZF.

I see what you mean, there is a difference, don’t think I could call it at arms length though, certainly not enough to go for the KVF over the ZF when you take into account how much better the case and dimensions are!!

I agree with you. That other than the Deco. ZF wins.

The carbon looks too shiny on the most recent ad pictures, might need to wait for a video to compare with the recent ABD mod that nails it...

The ZF right part of the mvmt looks empty.

Puretime said in the release that this part was missing from the watch when it was photographed but will be included, so I’d guess it will look the same as the other reps in that area!
