Does anyone know what the base movement is on these? I'm trying gauge how possible it might be to put this movement in the ZF Yas Marina case

This is amazing! However, I still think the strap screws are still too high on this case. They need to be moved further out the 6 and 9 o' clock sides of the case.

Wow, that dark grey/black?? 035 is superb. If they are half as good as the pics suggest - sign me up! I wonder how long it will be before the trusted dealers get hold of these.

Not to long from what I understand some of them have already ordered the model from the factories and are waiting for the arrival to list it

Exciting times… i wonder if this movement is exclusive to BBR or if we’ll see ZF get their hands on it.

That’s great news, can’t believe it’s taken the Chinese factories so long, I would think the demand is off the scale. Maybe one day they will take another look at the RM 011 again hopefully…….(I live in hope)!

The front is no where close to identical, but an improvement from the ZF. Need more info from TDs. What's the black version's case material?

Promotional release in Chinese says the back and front plates are real ceramic like gen and make no mention of the midcase, though i wouldn’t trust anything until a dealer gets it on hand and can confirm, or better yet a member here posts a review.

Well. To 500€ I am also buying this tomorrow. If it can be placed in the ZF am getting the job done. And maybe some spare part from the zf to cover up that link stone thing. Idk. Hope it can be done. If I get that done, I will buy a original RM watch box at eBay. A 3k $ project??

All these people moaning about how it doesn’t look like the gen. It’s 1/200th of the price or 1/600th+ if you take the grey market ffs.

This is an instant cop - it’s the best movement we’ve had to date for the functioning balance wheel. Yes the strap might not be flush against the top case or the jewel might be the wrong colour but who would really know?

Remember lads - a Bubba in hand is better than a Bubba in the sand!
