BBR Factory RM35-01 RMUL3

yap i can't unsee the letters on the barrel

Cool. I felt the same way about the ZF RM-055 splotchy painted ribs. But the reality is at arms’ length, the letters are too small to make out at all. It’s only when you magnify the watch 10x with macro shots and view perfectly still on computer monitors that such things as the lettering being .1 mm too large becomes noticeable.

I guess we’re pretty lucky that we have a choice of numerous factories producing reps, each with their own idiosyncratic faults. Or we can pay $4,000-$10,000 more and not fret about instant tells at all.

Yeah that's the thing about these watches, we will always see the flaws when the pictures is right up close.

Personally, my eyes aren't good enough to see these tiny details when on wrist

Stock velcro strap will be too large. You need to order a custom one since the stock BBR only come in M/L sizing. 16cm still would fit your wrist, unfortunately i dont have a pic to share though.

They picked back up as "BBS" or whatever. At least that's what I was just told.

Oh no... How can I get the new rmul3 movement then? Thinking about Sonic but I don't know if it's worthy

Afaik BBR is still produced under another name. Best ask your TD, he/she could get them.
