RM67-02

[seanizcool]

I think everyone’s dismissing this huge step far too quickly. Granted it’s not the 1:1 lots of people were expecting but it’s still a massive step regardless of price. Having a 67-02 with close to gen thicknesses and balance placing is a win regardless.

Yep, I'm buying it regardless of how it looks, given the price comes down to reality

 

[Reaps]

I'm happy they aimed to get the thickness close. And the stuff is passable.

However, it's not even CLOSE to being worth 28-35,000 yuan.

I can understand the disappointment of 11 pages of hype.

But, it’s the first time they do it.
Look 8 years ago, a noob v3 was the ultimate sub. Compare that with a VSF today… yes, it’s the most bought and competitie rep, but these 67-02s are the first of its kind.
The 15mm reps we can’t take serious.

We now have the thickness which is what defines the 67-02. Eventually we will get the curvature too.

I get it that not everybody is into looks and many appreciate the movements too, for now we need to ignore the movement and hope for better carbon and finishing and that the coloring of the “dial” will be good, so that we can get basically any version / color combo . Like the UAE version or the Italian one. Eventually we get perfect case, with the curvature. And one day maybe a clone movement.

We’re also forgetting that this is a 300,000$ rep. It’s inherently more difficult to buy and disassemble compared to a 7000-13000$ DJ/sub etc that’s easy accessible

I need one in Mutaz Barshim purple

 

[BIONONE]

Case shape still flat and so appears the crystal.

Other than that i have to say I‘m impressed what the chinese factories were able to achieve based on a rearranged miyota.

Finish look surprisingly neat and dynamic. Nowhere near as refined as a gen RM but i dont think anyone should expect this at this point nor in the near future haha

As posted by some shady IG vendors there are already custom NTPT cases made which happen to have the correct curvature and thinnes of the gen. Which leaves room for hope that other more established factories get a hold of this movement to fire up the competition.

All in all exciting times. Looking forward to the color variations and N/TPT appearance.

so I’m assuming this is the version that is 100s of dollars not 1000s of dollars? Because it’s a great fun for 500 and stupid for 5000.

I agree, from everything we've seen it's a great watch in the $500-700 ballpark but some of the prices I've seen quoted are really stupid for what this rep actually is. I'm very impressed with the work that's gone into it (and kinda chuffed they did exactly what I said a factory would have to do to make a decent rep like two years ago when I started my project) and really excited to see where it goes, but the prices that have been thrown around are just out of touch with reality.

The exciting part: it's a 67-02, the most demanded RM watch in the real world, and (most likely) also in the rep world.

The good part: The case height is as close to gen as possible

The bad part: In the past, if somebody was wearing a 67-02, you can tell from 20 meters if it's gen or not, based on simply the height. this isn't possible anymore. It makes me somehow sad, but then it's amazing at the same time.

potentially need 5x QC to get a good TPT coloring that you like.

I don’t understand why everyone was claiming this is so hard when I’ve seen Lange Thin 40mm at 8mm thick for years now. Not o mention women’s JLC time only in tiny tiny cases.

What gives here?

Have you ever made anything? Making things in general is hard. The issue isn't that it's thin, there are tons of thin movements out there but throwing an existing thin movement into a small case is not particularly hard. Taking the same thin movement apart, rearranging the wheels so that they're on the opposite side, designing the bridging, and then actually making that bridging to the proper tolerances so it will work as a watch when everything is assembled is not even in the same ballpark. They might as well be designing their own movement at that point, and I can assure you that nothing involved with this, even the easy stuff, is actually easy.

with 50 years of experience, i can confirm this. hell, even just buying parts can be a pita, i am there now.

Where you get your numbers from?

Got it thinness plus breadth.

Yes I’ve made some things you probably are using today.

Evaluating this against this image it’s pretty good it seems. Maybe better than my first judgement. But I think the very max id spend here is 1k.

look into the real word.

tell me which one it is then. the 52-05? the 88? nothing > 1M$ is in such crazy demand.

everyone in F1 is wearing a team 67-02. everybody wants to wear one. it's not a limited version, it's mass produced and current. The RM11s or whatever ain't produced anymore. neither are they much desired if you can have a 67-02.
