RM 35-02 T+ vs Sonic vs BBR vs ZF V5

[Bominus]

I just GL my BBR 35-01 from AmoWatch. The amplitude was 255, but that was the only thing that was "concerning" to me. I was on the lookout for scratches too after seeing this post.

Here was mine for Sonic 35-02

Awesome. I was going to go with Sonic, but they said no Nylon straps available. So I went with BBR instead. Paying $239 for a custom nylon strap after paying ~$700 is not in my budget right now.

I got quote for just $88 for extra nylon strap.

Well I'll be dammed...Whats your wrist size? Another big sell for me was BBR RM makes straps that fit ~17cm wrist well.
I know ZF RM straps fit wrist sizes 18cm+ well.

I ordered an extra red nylon strap for $41 from AmoWtach.

What’s your wrist size? BBR nylon straps were $10

wow! that cheap! My size is 7.5". I believe BBR 35-01 strap will fit Sonic and vise versa.

$88 is too much! Order BBR nylon strap for RM35-02 with Amo for $41 (juts got mine and it feels ok) . BBR nylon strap should fit Sonic.

Als o make sure to order RM 35 screwdriver. You will definitely going to need it. Half of my BBR 35-01 were loose, and one was already fell off!
Tighten all crews on the face and on the back side (of course don't over torque them).

yeah, I might order some nylon straps from amo after I have received my watch.

Got my sonic QC and GLed it.

My fault I mixed up my order items....screwdriver was $10... nylon was $40, rubber straps $50...I wonder why BBR 35-01 less expensive compared to Sonic?

Interesting! I wonder how much for BBR rubber strap + clasp?

 

[RedMouthguard]

Watch buckle is $50 usd per...amowatch

 

[watchfreek]

Watch buckle is $50 usd per...amowatch

so $90 rubber + buckle?

 

[watchfreek]

sorry $100

 

[RedMouthguard]

sorry $100

Correct. But why would you need multiple buckles. The best “trick” I found is order the watch with the rubber strap. Then ask for the nylon.
Amowatch seems to charge same price for watch regardless of nylon or rubber…save $60!

 

[derjenigewelcher]

Got my QC from SONIC RM 35-02, which I already GLed, its just for you to showcase.
The clasp seems my only concern that its function isnt holding that good like ZF. Does anyone here has a Sonic watch/clasp and can talk about that? I ask because I had an issue with a BBR watch, the BBR clasps did really not close well.

Switch to a ZF clasp
