Lol I'm just bored enough to go through new RM reps to see if we can find the best one.
Someone's gotta do the sacrificing around here.. Lol
Actually.. Help me out here guys.
Does anyone know how the frozen sec hand Daytona work? They seem to transfer the second hand power to the hand at 6... If we could do that for this baby and I find a way around the fonts.. This is as close as we get!

Im 6.7 and it might be to big for me as well. Does it move around your wrist a lot or no? Overall they look great
Definitely not too big for you. Because of the case construction it sits nicely and curves slightly to hug your wrist

How is the quality compared to a J12 Schumacher or GP? I heard it's nowhere near the quality but the skull model and upcoming Bubba is ok or comparable to Noob almost...

I do understand the rationale behind your question and being an AP fan myself I often compare between the two, but there's just no comparison because it's apples to oranges. The case is really hefty and engravings on it are detailed but I guess if we were to pick Id say it should be deeper. Then again I've never held a gen in my hand long enough to study, let me snap pics later

But in your opinion it is good enough quality? Like a Noob Pam 364? Or is it more like a plastic watch like a Quartz AP quality?

Definitely not plastic. The build is solid. I'd say it's like an AP Diver in feel.

Good to know! Thank you my friend! I think I will be ordering the white one with red skull, it looks pretty cool... I know not to expect JF quality like Schumi, but a diver from Noob/JF that sounds good! Thanks aflop!
Be careful because from what I've been told there are several factories making RM reps, each taking care of different models. The factory this came from supposedly only does this model, I've seen other factories with correct date fonts and wrong dials.
There are several makers making the RM. The supposed "best" version is using A7750 for the 011 (but dial deco is bad). I think the same maker also makes the 052, 038, 036, 055 etc as well.
While the rest of the RM reps are either quartz or A21j movements (but dial deco is decent).
RM reps will never reach the standard and accuracy of AP/PAM/Rolex reps no matter Noob or JF, or as Ale puts it: Medium grade rep.

All this being considered, should the focus be more on getting the factories to listen to us and eventually (hopefully) get a version correct, or searching for parts and mods to build them?
IMHO, we'll get further (closer to gen, relatively speaking) faster if we focus on the latter. That'll be my focus at least.
Yep agreed. We should focus on getting mods done. I won't expect the makers to listen and consider making a better RM rep anytime soon. The interest isn't that much yet plus the probability of reaching that bar is a bit far-fetched imo than say, making a better AP or PAM. So it might not be worth it from the maker pov. I'd say the 055 and the upcoming 035 are as good as it gets.
So first step, we have to figure out how to make the screw driver! :lol: I'll remove the rotor first thing if I could open the 055 caseback.
