This is a video of the same movement. Wish I could read Chinese and understand what he is saying…

Me too but thank you for posting the link, how the fuck is there really 2 moving barrels? Stop seconds, dope. Dude I am getting pulled deeper and deeper into this thing every day.... it is so sick. I might order one and be super fucking gentle with it 🤣 im starting to need that RM 55 BBR v2. Had multiple people tell me who have owned it for a year or so that it seems good.

Watchermakers on the forum say it is a stable movement but it is not stable to shock whatsoever (ironic really considering it's the first "golf watch") and can overbank. I'm starting to think I might take the gamble for 700$ if it's this sick.

I’ve had my BBR v2 since May and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Was a great summer purchase for me 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the reply bro! It settles it for me. I'm buying BBR v2 in white and EITHER Sonic F or TF RM35-01 but probably TF since it's cheaper and basically the same.

He’s talking about the bbr not this one.
Are they not the same? Sorry for giving bad advice 🙏 I'm new to RMs. Is that not the BBR clone? Either way, I definitely recommend he buy an RM.

Do you have any recommendations as to what is the best RM35-01? Sonic, BBR, T+? They all seem like good choices. Thanks in advance

The one in the video is not the bbr.
Please stay on topic and let’s not detour from what this thread is about.

This new released movement is from dandong. Still no mass prodution now and no a exact price also. But it is going to be very expensive.
I’ve been told it is similar to the free sprung balance Patek calibers, not mass produced.

Are we sure it's Dandong? The balance wheel is clearly free-sprung and last I heard they couldn't do FS balances, instead farming it out to smaller custom shops like the "superclone" Patek movement with FSBs I've seen. Personally I think we keep being shown a gen movement because it makes people lose their minds, get confused, and vastly overpay for a stock rep, which we see even in this thread.

As Prizon says it is not gen, you can see some minor differences with gen if you look closely, price will be similar to the Patek calibers as far as my info goes.

We've been seeing movements like this for at least two years and they've ALL been vaporware. Remember the "Master Dragon" clone? Y'all may be correct but I'll believe it when it's in a watch that one of us is holding in our hands and not a second before.

I do hope you're right, I'd spend a few grand on a fully-functional working rep with clone movement, but I'll remain skeptical till we get hands-on and not just videos from Chinese randos.

Thats what i was told, maybe they work with smaller factories and just market it. I’ll keep you posted and will definitely get one if it’s around the same price as the patek movement.
