So is the movement actually suspended in the case via the cables?!? If so that’s pretty impressive, even if it isn’t totally accurate!

I’ve never liked the RM056 personally, but again I’m very impressed by what EUR are trying!

I don't think so, the cable are just decoration look like gen.
you can see there are black pvd frame are holding the movement to case.

I have read many articles on the gen since yesterday, none mention the thickness of Gen

You'll see that on some RM model that info is hard to come by, no idea why, except maybe for tolerance or simply marketing reasons RM decided not to put in their press sheet so no reviewer have bothered taking the time to measure (or been allowed to publish the measure in exchange of a review sample)

What? No it doesn’t say anything when he tests it. It doesn’t react like it does when he puts it on the crystal of the Hublot.

You see how the tester blink when it was on the AP for comparison? So apparently the RM056 isn't made of sapphire.
And.....if you understand Mandarin, the dealer also says none of the 4 sides are sapphire. Go have your Chinese friends translate for you if you don't trust me.

If you are saying it’s not sapphire then we are in agreement.

What material is it then? Acrylic? Hopefully it’s atleast some kind of glass crystal. Other wise it’s just gonna feel and look cheap and tacky

Yup I heard the same info from them. They said Sapphire bezel and caseback costs $1000 more! Whats the point in paying $1200 for a glass case??? Maybe if it was $800 then sure it’ll sell a little but $1200 and its not prtially sapphire is disappointing.

Not even glass, the whole watch weights just 86 grams, go figure.

If so dont get it why the two versions..
This will lead to serious misunderstanding and ruin their business

So weird update, I spoke with Eric from Geektime and he quoted me a price of $1128 for the watch, saying its available to order. The factory told him the entire case is 100% sapphire. Now Im confused. Obviously Eric isn’t lying but it seems the factory is lying to him, OR there’s different versions and there’s on made of 3 pieces of sapphire?
