BBR factory RM 055

[bpbp]

I'll add to those who noticed a stutter in the second hand in QC. Mine was pretty bad up near the 12:00-1:00 area but that's just sort of the nature of the movement as others have said. I imagine you could tighten the friction spring with a teeny bend like in the NH05 and other Miyotas to make it a little better if it's that bothersome, but we're going to have to wait till someone tears it down to be sure.

Do u got your watch yet? I just approved my QC from Jtime after I rejected 2 watches.
just curious how long gonna be ship.
I think the BBR has very poor QC. The build quality is very bad.

some movement has ding or scratches, but there is no way you will get perfect one, even the last QC I was accepted still have something on movement, I was tired waiting another qc, and 8 know there was not jtime's fault, dont want make hard time here. so I just accepted.

The front crystal has gap problem, some crystal not applied well and u will see the gap between case and crystal.

may have some water mark on second hand (dirty?)

I guess BBR said you cn have a close enough looking watch or a quality watch but not both lol. Im curious now to see if in hand the the fact that the movement functions makes it worth ordering regadless or is it still better to hold off for the eventual V2 or maybe V3

I have a high appreciation for the pioneers taking the plunge on the first batch so we can all see, but unless you're in a big rush, I would say it's definitely the safest thing to do. It's the first one with a moving balance so I think there are big improvements to be made.

It's very exciting, I think this BBR has reignited the market for rep RMs. And I think there is a chance this could push ZF into action, more competition is only good for us. A bit like Clean and BTF for the Daytona.

.
I know it's only $588 for it.
About same price as ZF's

But honestly
I rather pay more to get better quality build.
I don't mind pay $788 or $888 for it if BBR can make better quality.

I think BBR can produce a perfectly high quality watch at this price point. The recent increase in rep price doesn’t seem to make to much sense.

As mentioned before I have a BBR Roger Dubuis Excalibur tourbillon and it is pure quality (except the buckle).

Anyway, my dealer refused the watch for the second hand shuttering and is waiting for a replacement (the watch was perfectly build tho)

The second hand shuttering is normal to this movement, there is no way your TD can get no second hand shuttering. Unless your TD can re-design gear trian and re made of all movement.

one thing is stuttering.
one other is jumping huge leaps like I saw in some videos of this watch

https://youtu.be/MLaByROHegw It might not be allowed and delete if it’s not but I found it fascinating how these stores use buzzwords to price gouge on these RMs.

Not sure is a BBR but I saw on IG a Yas Marina with this movement and a carbon case…

Can’t wait to see this movement in more exotic cases like forged carbon / quartz.
