That tourbillon movement looks like the work of the renowned Chinese Shi Ty factory.

You can see all the signatures of their work in this movement, with copious use of burrs and gauging demonstrating their craftsmanship; it has also been lovingly dusted with metal shavings. When the movement goes wrong (and it will go wrong) the spring deployant on this watch is specially designed to facilitate depositing the watch into the nearest bin. This saves you valuable time, and the humiliation, of having a watchmaker laugh in your face when you ask him to service it.

it's JBF tho, aren't their tourbillion movements pretty decent? Haven't heard much complaints about their tourbillion movements.

Same problem with the EURF version: the case is too flat and doesn't curve downwards like the gen RMs. I also think the bezels are too wide and the screws too big.

Perfect combination would be ZFs RM052ti case with the JBF tourbillon movement; if that is even possible.

So far the skull is better making and looking than the EURF ones from what I see in the pictures and video by puretime. But didn't see any other TD having this model other than puretime so gotta wait and see.
Hmmmm.... I find that JBF always have some spelling errors on RM Tourbillon...
