Any NWBIG RM?

[shalke]

I wonder, most of the reps are too thick over the gen, but what are the most NWBIGs RM out there.

None of the reps really come close. There are decent versions, but nothing NWBIG. The RM 55's are very close to gen in thickness.

ZF is more reliable , but movement is less accurate

BBR Is less reliable, but movement has been susceptive to failures

On a gen RM, the AR has a very distinguishable hue. That's another thing most RM reps lack. They did improve it on ZF and BBR

The ZF has a nice purple hue to it but the first BBR's crystal may not have had any AR at all. Hopefully that's something they've paid attention to in the v2

That's correct

The BBR RM 27-03 is another very good REP. Here is a summary based on my experience:

PROs:
- Gen thickness (very close)
- NTPT Case (allegedly)
- Gen lightness (very close)
- MOVEMENT (Very close to gen and working tourbillon, they have nailed the overall shape even though there are easy tells)

CONS:
- Movement is very loud (can be annoying)
- The shape (curvature angel) of the top NTPT shell (bezel) is not fully accurate, distorting the overall shape
- The crown is sticking out (may not be disturbing to most)
- The NTPT shells (both top and bottom) are lacking the shimmer and the textured finishing that the gen has
- Due to the crown fit, there is not even 1 ATM water resistance: even if you smell humidity wearing this, run away.

Additional notes: Note that this a more wearable ref compared to RM055, simply due to the case structure differences of the gens.

Hope it helps!

Also you can consider RM035, which is simply the automatic version of the Bubba, again wears larger than the RM27-03. The considerations with it are exactly the same as RM055...
