ABD still has the pink jewel issue. Has anyone ever seen a customer post a finished ABD product? I have only read negative things about the company (not shipping products, delays).
Apparently it’s a non issue, as some Gen uses pink jewels? According to ABD ofcourse

The "gens have red jewels too" thing is complete and total nonsense for the 35 and most RMs in general. Source: I just looked through the entirety of Monographie I and the only watches with red balance shock jewels are the RM07, the RM31, and a few of the later-model tourbillons (RM38, RM36, etc). Interestingly it lists the balance jewel of the RM31 as transparent, but the photos show a red one. A lot of the early tourbillons don't even have a jewel, but a ceramic cap instead.

Any word with regards to the shock resistance & weight of the movement? Those are the signature features of the RM and it will be groundbreaking if they were able to get that right in this latest example!

Wrong. There are several gens (35-01) with red jewels. Ask me how I know.
I have never in my life seen a photo or ever heard of an RM35-01 with a red balance cap jewel. Other jewels, yes, but that transparent incabloc is kinda their signature. You're welcome to look through the literal reference books RM published on all their watches, or provide me with any evidence whatsoever beyond "Wrong", but until that happens I'm confident I'm correct/

Only difference I see is the main barrel wheel being slightly smaller, which is correct as per gen,
But the gear on the left almost look like a circular saw though...

Yeah, I'm gonna go with the book written by Richard Mille, published by RM, all about RMs with a complete catalogue of materials down to the different stones and finishing techniques in every single watch as the correct source, thanks.

Another dick measuring contest.

Should I brake out the tapemeasure, or would callipers do?

This self proclaimed rm expert reads books so he must be right. How do You not see that you’re falling into the same category as people here who Google pictures of watches and think it’s the same as owning them. Never doubt QT especially lol

Just seen from a non-TD seller on Instagram. Looks too good to be true; thought it was gen at first, but the internal screws mounting the movement to the case are incorrect so…maybe this is what we’ve been waiting for.

Is this the famous 45k movement we were all drooling over 6 months ago?
