In the Soviet EU
Just as a heads up, there's some info at Reddit (by user pmtu who usually posts content with good S/N ratio) that these RF prototypes could be using A2824 movement. Specifically:

Well the Chinese community has not received these well. Apart from the whole suggested fake VSF and VMF connection. Now there is a new “legit check”.

If you look at the prototype photos carefully.

The watch time is just past 10pm. This is true for both the Starbucks and the Black.

Now if you look at the date. It has begun changing. This is not how Rolex clone movements change date. This is how an asian 2824 changes date.

I just got QC photos as well, and the dial printing looks nearly identically bad. Same spacing issues.

That dial printing looks rough.

I'm interested in more - can you describe what you're seeing? I'm not too fussed with dial printing on most Rolex reps but would love to be educated. My biggest 'care' is proper AR coating on the cyclops, which most reps fail at. This one interests me as the crystal seems halfway decent.

Would you be kind enough to share the photos you have received? Would do the community well by sharing actual photos as I'm sure there are many people here eager to see how this stacks after all their marketing claims.

Cheers!
