Any point waiting for the ZF RM-052 over the EURF RM-052?

Hey Guys,
Most of JF APs I want are currently out of stock atm so while my interest in AP has therefore stagnated a bit, I decided to venture over to the RM subforum! :drinks_cheers:

Is there anything I am missing here guys?

Here is a video of the Gen in action--jump to 0:28: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clc8JcCWYr4 | 0:51: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk1XYy9ISdE
Here is a video of the EURF in action--jump to 1:27: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd1qkbPTpZs

Conclusion: the action is really around the mouth area for both. For the current Miyota models -- is the movement completely decorated? No movement at all?




ZF RM-052

Pros

Potentially more accurate case thickness
Potentially more accurate case shape
Potentially better details: font/engraving/skull design

Cons
"Confirmed" no Tourbillon Movement





(only listed the major cons, if you compare to gen in 2nd post below, you'll have a field day for sure)

EURF RM-052

Pros
Real Tourbillon Movement

Cons
Case is too thick
Ruby Color too red
Richard Mille Font
Skull design overall is essentially completely off
Teeth: rep is rounded, gen is angular
Cheek: rep is too large
Cheek Bones: rep is rounded; gen is angular
Eyes: rep is too small, shape is wrong too
Eyebrows: different
Forehead: completely different shape to accommodate the completely different movements​
Obviously movement is completely different
Who's gonna repair this if it fails?

As a brandless homage the EURF would be nice, but as a replica costing about $1400 delivered there are unacceptable inaccuracies, and ones which exist as a result of laziness, rather than anything relating to manufacturing difficulty. I doubt the ZF will be any better, the only thing it will have going for it is it will be much cheaper. This is assuming it is ever released, that's not certain at this point.
