RM011 lotus f1 team rg

[touzas08]

I was wondering if you could give me your opinion regarding this RM: https://puretime03.com/rm011-ntpt-l...ton-dial-red-on-black-rubber-strap-a7750.html
Any inputs or maybe someone already has one and would like to show? I am deeply considering of getting one.

Just released so I doubt anyone has one just yet, but a great improvement over previous reps for sure!!

Dial layout, sub dial spacing and datewheel function are all much much closer to gen than we've ever seen in any RM rep to my knowledge. At that price you want to hope the quality is good, and the only real issue is the thickness but it's an RM, they're all thick, and it's listed as being the same thickness as the previous RM011 rep at 18mm which is 2mm larger than gen, still not too bad!

This one actually looks semi-decent!

That carbon though. :/

Yeah that's why I'd hoped they would also have rose gold or steel available, but for now it's just these carbon ones!

Still very tempted, the dial looks so good!

Titanium would look awesome! Would definately wait for it if I were you.

Why are you so against carbon? Does it look so fake? Or what?

Heres the carbon pattern on a gen, albeit different model.

Basically yes, as arpeqqio has demonstrated nicely, the carbon pattern is nowhere near on these KVF Richard Milles, I don't know why they insist on this zig-zag pattern but it's the worst thing about them, especially now that the rest of the watch is pretty good it just lets it down! Other RM makers have got the carbon pattern much closer, still not perfect but more random and a lot better than this!!

Too bad they've started with the carbon versions, but do you really think the date function works..? I have doubts...

Pretty certain they work, why wouldn't they?

InTime just uploaded these (much better photos than PureTime) and it has to be said, the quality of finish looks superb...

Just look at the finishing on this case flank...

The date function definately works. The month function however... it's purely deco.

Because sometime they make fake datewheels like they did on a Patek 5205 !
If it works it’s awesome, we just need either the right carbon pattern case OR a good titanium or PVD case hehe

I can't get these out of my head, I think I'm gonna end up having to pull the trigger, just can't stop looking at them!

Which to buy... hmm?!

I've gone for the 10th Anniversary edition, just love the look of that titaniam mid case!!

Excited for this one.

Will they make this in the black case

 

[Zuma111]

Hey guys do you think it's easy to swap case on this one with the new 055 ceramic case?

No, totally different case dimensions!!!

Have you seen the carbon rep in person? it's nowhere near the gen IMHO

 

[SuperLory]

Rep = geometrically perfect zebra stripes

Gen = forged carbon pattern = random layers of lighter and darker matter

World apart

Best rm remains rm27-02
