Here's pictures posted by a friend on an other board !

So the datewheel is not printed, but using a metal sheet, number shaped? Is it as per gen?

I like RMs , but the date wheel sucks! Hopefully they start to change all of the ones that use the date wheel. I know it is wishful thinking, but I hope all the TDs come on board with this.

They bought both gen RM052 and RM011 to make those reps. 052 will be released in around 2 weeks and some people believe it will be best RM rep ever made.

I don't think so.
Normally they give all the parts away to different factory's to replicate them.
And not every part is coming back or some parts a damaged after that.
So normally the gen is dead after that process.

They "only" bought a gen RM11, not 52.
