My Titanium came with a screw missing from the clasp so have been unable to wear it yet. Still waiting. Can’t believe how long it has taken to get something so simple sent through. Bought from PURETIME so hope it arrives soon!

Yes it does compared to EURF, but way off from Gen and ZF. So sad, because I would def but it w a working tourbillon, but the skull looks like a clown skull unfortunately.

TheDonSL So sad it still a waiting game for the perfect Skull. haha, Still thinking hard if I should pull the trigger for this new skull.
Was comparing this with the new DB Tourbillon by BBR but I scare that the DB cannot fit my 16.5cm wrist and did hear someone saying the BBR Tourbillon have some issues.

Stay away from anything BBR, I just bought two Roger Dubius BBR and both have movement problems. JB is much better quality control.

Legendetawatch just put up video and pics of a new 53-01 with a working tourbillion, and the video looks like it’s from a Chinese watch maker

Mine came in today - first rep purchase. Couldn't be happier, the quality of finish is amazing. Shame about the tourbillon, but damn - it is seriously a little work of art.

Only issue is the deployant clasp has some sharp edges, nothing that a little sanding won't fix though.

I did a quick Instagram poll with pics of gen (top) vs the ZF (bottom), and apparently to the masses, the ZF looks better than the real thing. (24 voted for gen, 37 for rep)

Of course, that's with a still image - in motion, you'd spot the tourbillon. Oh well, I still would count it as a win.
I did a second poll with a closeup, and the result was a lot closer.

just to prove that RWI member is far more knowledgeable, and less likely to get scammed, lol ;)

The skull by ZF is amazing build quality, def very close to gen in appearance, the fact that there is no tourbillon ruins the watch unfortunately. It’s still one of my favorites. I wish ZF had access to the movements that JB has.

Perhaps Angus puretime you can setup a collaboration between JB and ZF and make a special order on a tourbillon movement RM skull titanium?
