For those making the purchase, do you guys think black or white is better? I like white, but dont want the attention and for the strap to turn yellow, especially since the jewel isn't correct. Leaning towards black? i think the white looks cooler, but I dont think I would wear it out of the house

If you prefer white just go for it. Strap won’t yellow that fast and can always be replaced

maybe wait for the ntpt version (dont know if one is planned), but in the end its your taste and you have to wear it.

I normally do a coin flip in this situation and look at the face of the person, if the person looks rather happy/ sad you normally have your answer, but ofc it wont work if the person knows what i plan to do

If you want something that's more accurate to gen, get the white one. Since the gen black ceramic version has a titanium mid case, but BBR made it in black ceramic as well.

Ordered one white, one black. White didn't go through since CC declined, ordered black with a different CC and it went through. Looks like I am going black.

less worries about stains and more stealth if i take it out on a date. excited to get a RM 55/35 with an actual moving balance, its been a long wait from looking at the super rep forums on new movements in development. I know there will be a V2 or ZF coming in with much better AR and case dimensions, but this is a first chapter for movements in RM world, except Tourbillons.

I am broke now

On a separate note, important to have right expectations. I have seen my RMX 35 vs ZF Rm055, the RMX AR was horrible, I am expecting AR somewhere around there and from the screenshots, its already hard to see clearly through.

not sure what you mean, but the black edition also has a black midcase in titanium. Same as the white one. So color-wise, its the same as gen.

I still haven't received any QC pics yet, I sure hope these get released from the factory in the next or so!
