I've been eyeing these for quite some time.. Going through this thread, I think you guys have sold me into RM. One of the guys on my floor has a RM, and that's what made me look into them.. Now time to read more and buy one. I really like the 55. [emoji16]

Are you talking about the 35 or 55

I believe it's the 55 with closed case back

35 is the skeleton one front and back

The Rafa Nadal 035 is the closed caseback ! now also aviable at trusty time for same price...

He sported a RM , ( Rep or Gen i could not tell..., i will try to discover it by reading the thread in full on current reps offering ;) )


Well i can say and someone correct me if im wrong. but with the RM being so rare , if you going to spot that on the wrist is the AR. GEN RM have a havy blue Tan are that to me looks Great !

With hour hand mod, blue AR and little bit of finer finish on the movement, it will look nearly spot on. ;-)

Exactly mods i had in mind ! just wondering if the crystal they using can take AR . I wished they priced it same as the RM038 than we could have some spare to do the mods. with all attentions it needs it to early to start moding it i presume better factories will be involved soon and and correct this flaws ( such as hands and finishingi think ). the RM game has just become... so i dont know if buying a no :D

Biggest tell is the thickness! All reps are 17mm thick and the gens just 13,8mm. It's a big deference and vey notable at the wrist.

hopefully they will improve on that ? Are they running on a7750 ? Is there a way to make the, run on thinner movement ? I see the 035 does not have chrono function...

well , thickness is a flaw im sure but i think , the AR and finish will give this rep the GEN look what i think is whats the bigest tell because spoting 3 mm on an already thick gen would be a chalange unless you find someone with the owner or a rep ethusiast . as per movement the RM 035 is a asian hand wund no more info than this was given...

The AR kills these reps. Having owned two, I can say it's enough to be turned off the watch altogether. But being the RM fanboy I am, I'm gonna have to try out the 35. I hope we can figure out a way to remove the crystal for AR treatment though

Oh man these hitting the TDs it's going to be an expensive 4th quarter for me!!
The fantasy versions posted earlier in the thread had the correct hands and better deco in my opinion. Also wondering if mid case thinning is an option on the 35.
I remember someone saying that the current strap wont allow that mode on the 55.

sorry Tony brother, it's taking a bit longer to make the tools due to my other project commitment taking priority. but the tools are being made, so removing the crystal won't be a problem ;-)

The blue AR is on all the RM reps ? Or only on the 35-01 ?

Hey guys,
Does anyone know when the TD'S will get the color combo that Nick has? I think his looks the best so far

The one that nick haves looks to have a different movement deco and finish . the one on the TD sites ( ive seen it on 2 of them so far but non of them are here at rwi )

I think you guys a bit to fast. I was looking at RM055 and for me the bezel screws just look like deco. I think the case is glued and not screwed

you may be right ... whats keeping me away from this right now is the hight price tag they put on this ( 420$ shipped RM 35) with all this flaws that need to be adressed ... AR/hands/Strap Clasp ecc . i think this was not ment to be at this price tag but demands and this thread have blow the prices up !
