About 6.4". I'm on the 3rd hole from the last. No complaints on build quality but it's quite thick though, thicker than a 42mm AP by a bit at the highest point of the bezel.I jush wish they had removed the rotor. It takes some space plus the clearance required for the rotor to spin. If they did, it'll thin the case much more at least similar to the gen thickness.
[MENTION=51261]wooky492[/MENTION] Indeed mate. I'm glad I didn't go with colors. lol

So we agree that this is smaller than the RM11 ? No ?

[MENTION=42676]jamztio[/MENTION] it's nice to see this watch on a normal sized wrist for once! Everything's a lot better proportioned than I first thought. Just need smaller deco though ugh regardless I'll be placing an order today!

I'm not sure about that since I never have a 011 before. But it might have the same case dimension as the 011 it seems.

Oh I forgot to mention, I HATE the deployant. It's so stiff.
Anyway, now we need the screw driver so that this thing can be modded...

I'm glad the RM trend is picking up some steam. Hopefully Chris and Wooky get their hands on an RM035 and make a carbon case mod for us haha

I am hoping the next year/2 will be big for RM reps,Ike the last two were for APs. Definitely seems like it is picking up traction once again!

[MENTION=42676]jamztio[/MENTION] the 55 looks sexy af!!! Wear it well mate!
[MENTION=51261]wooky492[/MENTION] is it possible to 3D print smaller deco for the 55. that would be awesome.

Wish list of mods on the 55:
1. Smaller deco
2. Remove rotor
3. AR crystal with mirror coated/finish edges.

Thanks [MENTION=50053]MasterWatch[/MENTION].
There are some exciting mod possibilities. After removing the rotor, I'd think to thin the case but we have to thin the deco first.
What I saw is, there appears to be 2 slits of opening on the deco which means the deco consists of 3 parts: top part, mid wall, and lower part with the movement encased in it. Like a box.
So maybe we can thin the bottom of the mid wall and then thin the outer mid case and caseback to make the caseback level with the bottom of the crown when assembled as the gen.

Of course i can. But you need to buy me a 3d printer first and provide me with detailed schematic of the deco. Lol
I'm only teasing mate. [emoji12] [emoji12]
I'll see what we can do

Awesome photos James! :-D

How does the deco actually look?
From TD's photos they look like rough plastic. Does it look good in flesh?

It's decent imo. The way the silver parts play in light is very nice. It even has some sort of "brushing" on them.
The small rough imperfections here and there can be overlooked I guess. Unfortunately the gears are jointed together. I hoped to swap them around initially.
