I just rejected second set of QC. If it’s no good on third I’m not taking the watch as I do not have high hopes for this anymore....

I’ve never experienced such issues with QC...

Ouch was really looking forward this model let’s hope 3rd set will be the right one although I’m also starting to lose hope

Same problem as the first time?

No first time the case was just terrible all scratched up or cracks on top and bottom. Second one case was great, but white quartz lines were crooked and slanted, not going left to right correctly.

All in all both pieces do not look like what we’ve seen on Instagram or forums so I rejected them.

That's terrible.

Seems like RMX's quality control is not reliable, I will keep waiting for AF's restock..lol

Maybe that’s why td still don’t actually list them in stock, the end product atm seems to be very inconsistent I can understand working with ntpt must be difficult to mantain the same white pattern let’s hope they increase their quality control

But TD QC is, as long as purchased through a TD QC should not be a problem. That’s why they are trusted innit :)

Sounds like the RMX factory are not consistent. Was offered one by a seller for $1150 from Instagram. After reading this, I'm thinking I should wait for ZF or till RMX comes up a bit.

Does the movement move?

If you mean the balance wheel, no, it does not move and it's doubtful that any rep will get that for a long time if ever. If you mean does the deco move, yes, the three larger wheels do move with the hands/setting the time. If you mean does the movement function as a watch, yes of course it does.

I received my artisans Pirlo and the movement moves very well, balance wheel as well.

Nearer than you think
Judging from the thickness it looks like ZF... crystal, sparkle, etc

Lol I'm wearing a Pirlo right now. There's an ENORMOUS difference between skeletonizing an existing rep movement (VR3130 in the case of the Pirlo) and repping an RM movement with a working balance wheel. No one's cloned the Vaucher that the RM is based on, and then they'd have to skeletonize that. It's really not a good comparison.

You are absolutely right.

Anyways - this tool is just trying to get his post count up to make a sale...

It's pretty sweet, I gotta say, and it scratches the "moving balance wheel" itch my RMs don't just yet. The finishing on it is pretty insane under a loupe, and the fact that they skeletonized a clone in almost the exact same way as the gen is really cool.

Shame factories replicate the RMs still struggles to put something reasonable on the table, I don’t believe it’d be be difficult for them to build a good movement if they really wanted to

I have to big disagree right there, it's not "reasonable" to clone RM movements. Like I said upthread, just because they can skeletonize an existing clone movement does not mean they can clone and then skeletonize an RM movement. The Chinese nouveau riche are obsessed with RM as a status symbol, so if it was not difficult to clone an RM they'd already have done it. It's basically the equivalent of rebuilding your own movement from scratch, not even in the same ballpark as making a Pirlo.

Agreed, I also believe that probably for many models repping the movement would be impossible, I would suggest however to rep some simpler rm such as 005,010,030 and also an rm 11 with a rep movement but with che correct case size and shape would fly of the shelf, that one is harder then previous models but I think it’s probably doable, I know zf was producing one for the last couple of years maybe they quit the project who knows...
