rcom440 I’m pretty sure it was 365 shipped to CONUS. I can’t find my email from him. And that’s paying with western union too

Cool.
how is the crystal? It it quite clear or does it look more like KVF RM crystals?

Imo it’s quite clear. Definitely not a prof crystal but better than my stock ARF sub crystal. I haven’t seen a KVF in person to compare to that

Sounds great. If it’s better that ARF Sub crystal that’s great.
Kvf crystal isn’t that great.
please post more pictures.

That pattern is pretty sick, wish mine had looked like that when I ordered it, I’d have approved it in an instant!

It’s different factory.
And different sticker not a Z factory , thus one is not good quality

Its blatantly the same one, Z factory is the same as Z factory. They changed sticker slightly but the watch looks the same!

rcom440 tried getting some pics for you. The reason I say it’s better than ARF is bc the entire crystal of the ARF can get that washed out look but the RM doesn’t. It only washes out where the light is directly hitting it, as pics should show. I think it’s due to the curved glass of the RM. The ARF is pretty good for stock imo but I haven’t seen the entire RM glass have that washed out look. Plus it does have a blue tint AR on it. Also, it has an open case back so the light can pass through the watch so that might make a difference too.

Hey guys here are the QC pictures, I included ones with measurements as well. Please note that the smudge in the bottom left corner is the sticker residue and was shown to be wiped off in the QC video. I'm really happy with how this looks :)

In my experience with Tim’s QC on these RMs the thickness always comes out a bit bigger, partly because the crystal protrudes slightly and partly because they measure it with the wrapping on. I’d guess it’s actually 16mm which is thick no doubt, but pretty good for an RM rep!

I sold mine because of the bad deco plates.

Im a big Rafael Nadal fan so i think for me its enough to keep the watch. I really like the RM 27-03 as well. Are there any other good RM reps? I was reading about one that has the proper workings and is quite loud but cant remember the name. I hope to purchase more in the future. Thanks
