Depends, if the rehaut is Light grey it should be LIMITED EDITION. If its black/dark grey it should be BOUTIQUE EDITION.

Can't see it properly on intime pics, but the first one looks light greyish. The rest look like black/dark grey indeed.

I don’t like how ZF used the V1 movement instead of the updated movement with darker ribs. I’d be more interested if they update it

After having worked on a vaucher clone RM movement with brushed ribs, I have to say that it would be basically impossible to see the difference between brushed and frosted ribs with the unaided eye. But I'm in my 40s so I can't focus quite as close up as I could when I was 20. Regardless, I think the reaction over the difference in ribs might be mountains over mole hills. Yes it would be nice if the ribs were brushed. But without a 10x loupe nobody is going to be able to tell brushed from frosted.

I've seen a few gens (and yes I know there's other flaws and enjoy what you wear etc) but it's the way the light reflects off the brushed ribs and it "changing colour" from reflective to black. Once you see that it's difficult to unsee.

Correct, that is the whole point in my opinion as well.

New ZF V2

According to intime: "V2 updated the RMUL2 super clone movement structure very close to gen, also updated the Silver blasted finishing as genuine"

Strange that they launched the New Grey one with the V1 Movement.

Maybe they have some upgrades for the model coming in the future (better color chapter ring or different case back) so maybe they are just using up the old stock of V1 movements. Or the pictures could be of prototypes and it will ship with v2 movements. 🤞🏽
