Did they honestly release it WITH the rotor inside the decoration? :D

They must be kidding haha

Unreal. I assumed the rotor had been removed. I don't understand why they didn't use an actual handwind movement to begin with.

Just received the watch today, all i gotta say is, I couldnt be more satisfied about this purchase, matter of fact, im really tempting getting the titanium version as well, this is the BEST version of RM052 in the market, the finishing is unbelievable, it feels heavy, it feels quality, i cant believe im saying this about a rep watch, lol, great time to be a rep watch lover

the only thing i want to complain about are the rotor is kinda noisy, but thats fixable and the butterfly clasp is a little sharp to my skin, again fixable, a little bit of baby oil and daily wear will fix that, and those two issues, pretty much on all rep watches, so definitely not a deal breaker to me whatsoever




That's really nice! I do wonder if the case can be polished? I've seen videos and pictures of the RM052-01s and the case ceramic seems kinda shiny? Correct me if I'm wrong, however.

I have an 7 inches wrist, in the picture, the watch definitely shows much bigger than it is in real life angle, in real life, it looks just fine on my wrist, not too big, not to small, just overall a perfect size tbh

I ordered the gold one ceramic. I think the titanium is one of the best reps I’ve ever purchased. Yes it’s unfortunate there is no tourbillon, but the craftsmanship and quality is superb!

I tip my hat to Z. Bravo!

Would be nice if one of you owners could measure the actual thickness. :)

If I'm not mistaken, isn't the skull and bezel on the RM052-01 Asia Limited Edition supposed to have like a brown color or tinge to it?

I find it really hard to look for proper pictures of the RM052-01 Asia Limited.

Does anyone have both the titanium and the ceramic yet? I would love to hear your thoughts as to which is the better quality in their opinion?

I will have the ceramic soon. Once I get it, I will give my opinion on both, but honestly I don’t think anything will beat the titanium version.

I have just got back my QC pics for the titanium version so can wait for it to arrive soon but am also tempted to get the ceramic too. Look forward to hearing your thoughts when you get your ceramic.

yeah I know what you mean :) it is really hard to find some good real life pics of this piece...
I think at least the skull has a kind of tinge, seaml like the actual material is maybe rosegold and there is some kind of coating over it and the gold is shining through :)

can you open this link ? here it looks like the polished bevels of the skull are golden or something.. gives it a very nice "glow" :)

Well based on the link posted above, the case is apparently PVD coated Titanium. The skull is supposed to be brown, not black like the ZF replica.

Oh well, I guess if I am to get this model I'd get the classic RM052-01 with the black ceramic case and gold skull.

on other sides it says it is ceramic, I wonder if this is realy just pvd coating, and I would say the finish more looks like ceramic :)
yeah the Skull is definitely a flaw regarding the color ...

Actually, looking at the caseback of the watch it says "TZP" on it which I think is ceramic. So maybe the website is just wrong?
