I'm not using any. I'm working on a full inhouse velcro without the need of any donor straps.

In the pictures you can see my strong nylon insert prototype.

Well, there is still a couple weeks to decide, as i have to go through at least 2-3 more gradual updates of the insert. Then i'll be making a string and velcro, it will likely be a red or black, actually for the first one i will be more concerned about the technical part ( construction, smooth transition from the case, ergonomics ... )

After the first couple of prototype straps i will start taking in orders for various styles and colors.

First impressions... it’s tiny!!

I mean, relatively speaking. Obviously it’s not tiny compared to a Rolex or a Patek... but when you’re used to Richard Mille reps and how chunky and boxy they often are, you expect a certain amount of heft and volume to it, and it’s not bulky or chunky at all. It’s almost thin!!!

Very happy RM fan right here.

Man.. that is pure sex right there. How is the white strap holding up against dirt/marks?

He has prominent followers. Was he scammed or does he just consider the ZF accurate enough to just wing it?

He is intentionally passing reps off as gen, he and his brother Matt

Quite bold to do so on social media. And tagging "richardmilleofficial" is just asking for it. He should have at least waited for an improved bezel from ZF.

But it would be hypocritical for many of us (I would imagine) to give this guy any flack about passing off a rep as gen. I've seen other RWI members' Instagram accounts and many of them post pics of their reps too, just without any tags.

So I guess the line is drawn with the obnoxious tagging?

A few notable watch collectors that I follow actually follow him and liked his pictures. I'm wondering if they're completely oblivious that they're reps :megalol: ...which is also maybe the reason why he's bold enough to actually tag those brands.

He sure flaunts them like they're gen lol.

well there you go; ZF owners, wear your RM035-02 with confidence

if ZF even reduces the contrast from the lighter patterns to the darker pattern--if they made it gradual so it were gradient with layers for a v2, that'd be a massive improvement

I don't really care personally, but it takes a certain type of person to do shit like that. It really doesn't matter if he tags RM or not. It's not like they will ever see it, and they should immediately notice that its not an RM off the bat. The Z+F has never looked like a gen RM to me, the ADB is more convincing other than the inaccurate proportions.

cool cool

funny you mention ABD, after all the posts I made about Aurasash, which I think were a net positive for him, he's even back to being a regular member now, he blocked me from viewing his Moments on Wechat :megalol:

Looks like this one is finally nice enough to get one. What happened to the red Velcro straps? I don’t see anyone selling them anymore ???? what do I need to do to get one for this model?

I bought my ZF with an extra crown guard rubber in black. I want to change it. Has anyone done it who care to share how to do it?

Thanks people.
