What's the price point of the gen right now ? $2m and up ?
What is the issue wit the screws. I don't have a gen for reference on the screen but are we talking about the colour of the bezel screws?

Well location of the screws is a dead giveaway at first sight. They have solved this problem with the z factory on the 035 and 055 for several models now.

so very disappointed about this.

first and easy giveaway is the screw location, I always look for that first

RMF has this price for most of their Richard Mille and actually costs more for most of the others.

That is not the latest one from RMF. That is an older version and doesn't seem to have working tourbillon

Well there are much more screaming flaws that the screws…

But for less that 1% of the gen price, that isn’t too bad. Hard pass on case geometry and thickness for me

Damn I’ve been waiting for one of these but that bloody strap screw placement is unfortunately pretty ugly for over 1k. Hopefully it’ll get fixed some day

I guess it is because they are using the same straps as their other RM models….

Agreed, for 700-800$, not for 1100$

I would like to pay less too. Haha. But yes I agree it is over priced at the price they are asking. I am still tempted to get this one. I will decide soon.

Edit: Is it me or does these look way too big?

I think the case is slightly bigger from the gen. But overall is within acceptable limits for me.

Anyone pulled the trigger yet? Not so much turned off by the screws as I am unsure about the AR. Doesn't look nearly as good as the ZF AR.

I’m trying to justify grabbing one but the more I look at it the more it seems out of proportion, large Gumby looking counterbores and screws, weak AR. It also looks to not have as much of a curved proportion to the case from front view. the price tag is too steep considering these factors.

Are the straps interchangeable with some cheap eBay straps? Getting a gen strap will be overkill and most likely won't fit. Wondering where to get different straps that actually fit properly before pulling the trigger.

If you look at this video, the watch doesn’t perfect fit on the wrist with the nylon strap! You can two huge gaps, due to the proportions of the case! Such a shame! If the case was more thinner and more curved, then this issue wouldn’t exist! This may be a dealbreaker for some people!
