yeeeeeeeeeah, if that was a rep I'd buy ten, but that's a gen. There are some interesting developments in this version and I want to see someone tear it down to find out wtf they did to it, but I'll probably pass on this release till it hits the m2m market. Regardless of the balance wheel on the back the white ZF looks a whole lot better on the front to me.

They also say it's still a Seiko but I have absolutely no clue how they flipped it to bring the balance wheel down and across the movement on the back and I also can't figure out why it's suddenly larger underneath the deco either. It does look to be the right thickness or very close looking at my white one, but I'm still super confused about how that movement fits in there now.

I just got my RM 055 ZF QC pics.. looks like we got some proto type photos where the bezel was installed the other way around where the groove is on the opposite side of the crown.
My QC pics had the same issue.

Something I noticed with those pics, the 'notch' or whatever you would call it for the crown is on the wrong side in 2 of the 3 variations on intime.
Unless I'm mistaken, this could be something to look out for in QC pics if ordering ;)






confirming that my QC has this notch issue. Hopefully they can fix it.

inTime responded back, that since the stock photos have it backwards, they wont change it. I guess I will have to do it myself. I got the RM056-02 and had to remove a fake jewel that fell out of place. in the process of fixing it, i cracked the top plastic bezel. This was a sandwiched where top and bottom plates were connected through a tube. this is why i am a little scared to have to change it out myself. Also dont want to scratch the screws if they are painted.

This doesn’t seem right. It’s not because their stock photos have QC issues that you should accept a watch with QC problems too.

Can anyone confirm with their QC pics if the "YAS" logo has been corrected like the gen or is it like the pics on the sites? Thanks

I couldn't see what you meant until I looked super closely. Good eye! Besides the quality of the print they're missing the little roof in the A.

But is ZF working? I have spoken with several stores and they all tell me that they have problems with raids, I wanted to buy the RM055 ZF White and RM35-02 ABD, does anyone know where they are? Intime and Chazingtime tell me that problem.

I've heard conflicting things, but I've only seen one person post QC or a wristie of the 55 since CNY, and I thought the 35 had been sold out for a bit. Obviously *someone* is making RMs under the ZF name, hence this new YM version, but I haven't seen one actually arrive since CNY. I think everyone is lying low for now and hopefully the picture will be clearer in a couple weeks.
