so like this:

Those are the ones I have, but you can also get them from eBay or Ali for a little cheaper. The difference between the 2.75 and the 2.35mm versions visually is the taper of the shank; if it's straight or collared, it's 2.75 but if it tapers smoothly halfway along the shank it's the 2.35mm

Takel98, It’s a beauty. I have the same watch on order, it’s been 3 weeks now, I guess just held up in postal strikes and Christmas rush (hopefully). Wear in good health mate.

So I would like to correct myself. The BBR 55 doesn’t work with 2.75mm like the ones I ordered. You need the smaller size 2.35mm ones. Sorry for giving the wrong info. Hope you didn’t order the bigger ones like me also.

How is the BBR RM055 V2 ?
Is this actually good or it’ll turn to a paperweight also like what’s been said about BBR the last 3 pages?

I have 4 of these, 2 x V2 and 2 x V1. The only issue I have is with one of the V1’s has a comedy second hand that jumps around. The others, I have had between 2 months for the other V1 and around 5 weeks for the V2’s. The V2’s have been good with a lot of wrist wear, but my good V1 is solid as well. I guess it’s a bit of a lottery, but I haven’t suffered any of the DOA’s that some have complained about.

Not sure how well it would function as a paperweight considering its lightweight body lol.

But i think overall should be a okay rep. Still waiting on mine, its on the way and hopefully running.

Mine arrived yesterday and is off to my modder to clean some dirt under the crystal - it really looks amazing and there's no stuttering seconds hand.

FYI i wanted to order a extra rubber black strap to swap between white/black. Turns out BBR asks $150 for them.... anyone already luck on Aliexpress rubber strap models?

Can your modder take measurements of the plots etc. please? @Scottymagic

I’m a bit lost. Does the Ali glass you likend last time will fit a bbr v2 rm? Wondering if should have AR ed the rep crystal or buy the Ali one .
If they have not shipped maybe you can ask them to change it withe the 2.35mm ones.
