BBR factory RM 055

[GiantSquid]

i really want to understand what you are talking about.

Please explain to me?

6T28 and 6T15 are the model names for two different Miyota movements in the same series. The 6T28 is an "open-heart" which has cutouts over the balance wheel and escapement to show movement without being a full skeleton. That's the pictured movement. Its non open-heart brother is called the 6T15, and it's used in two other reps from ZF factory, the carbon RM55s and the latest release RM35 (known as v4).

It looks like the wheels in the movement are in roughly the right places to be used in the BBR modification. Because (very generally) you can move around the positions of the wheels a bit as long as their centers are the same distance apart, it wouldn't take that much to move them slightly to account for the difference we see between the stock 6T28 and the BBR modification of it.

No where. You can get custom ones and that's it. I tried a few different ones and they all went in the trash

Tried Ebay , DHGate and a few members sent some to try out. You can source on from a TD and let them know which maker you have. But you will strike out any other way. Personally I go with what @SMP_lover offers

I’ll check him out.

I also sent a message to this guy just to check if he actually made his silicone straps in usa. Even though I suspect it’s from China looking at the rep clasps that are actually branded.

I am the second person on this thread to have a broken stem. Mine is V1. And I sent back to china for repair or replacement. Seems like a delicate stem. I am very gentle and carefully with these reps and when the stem came out I was surprised.

yea im still on the fence on this even the newer model BBR because they seem to be very unreliable more than a few people on here with issues.

Same. Once the reliability is fixed, I will be a taker

Is there a way to clean the white rubber strap from gunk and dirt? Mine is starting to show some brown.

And what’s the screw driver I need to but again to take the straps off?

mr clean magic eraser works well

You know how BBR RM055 second hands skip a beat or 2 sometimes?

I noticed that it only does this from 12-6 if you hold the watch upright.
If you lay it flat it doesn't do that.

Magic eraser won't damage the surface or even scratch it?

I have always cleaned my RM 55 with hand sanitizer on to a toothbrush. Scrub it lightly and any marks vanish. Don't want to use any liquid because these are far from water resistant

That’s good to know. So don’t use dawn soap ?
Just those clear hand sanitizer eh

 

[TESLA760]

Yup. Cleans and evaporates so no fear of moisture or harm to the watch.
