Fixed the title. It’s the 55. Not looking bad, what materials are they using and when will it release?

Can't tell if it's matte like gen or still shiny like the KVF versions. Proportions look good though, can't wait!

Still no balance wheel moving on bottom right? Why can’t they get this right???

Movement limitations. How should they do it.

I do think it’s a nice release but why don’t they concentrate on easy models like the 011 where they can hide the movement better.

It's in the nature of the beast. The skeleton movement makes the watch so beautiful. But because of this, all imperfections are clearly more obvious that other models.

Finally!! I’ve been holding off from buying an RM rep even though the ZF 35 and 52 look amazing. But the 55 is what I really want and now it’s being made! Gonna need more pictures to determine if the case is shiny or matte though.

I don't believe so, it's not written anywhere and ABD are in carbon stuff, but not ceramic stuff as far I know

Yeah, I don't think so either. Just hoping they're doing the right ceramic finish on the bezel and the correct material on sides and caseback instead of doing the whole thing in ceramic like other factories did... But I think I'm hoping for too much there lol

What should be the caseback & side material ? Some sort of plastic ?

Caseback and side material on the gen is rubber coated Titanium. They could use whatever base material they want as long as they actually put a rubber type of coating there. Makes the whole watch wear so much more comfortable compared to full ceramic pieces.

Matte white titanium? :lol:

Come on, with a little bit of paint, everything is possible (I heard that you can create a gen RM movement with paint too ...)

I had a try at this today. Worked out like a charm and plug and play with the ZF v3 RM035-02 case.
