Rep case will be thicker than gen. I'm hoping we can thin it out and make a custom canvas strap like the gen rather than the rep rubber.... Here's hoping

Guys, does anyone know if it's possible to see the FC caseback behind with movement on the 035 RAFA, under direct light ? Like the gen.

Cheers

I just noticed that as well.
Any ideas where to source the right strap as well?

I don't think it's going to be possible. The case is too thick for a gen strap and I don't think we're fully certain as to how the strap connects to the case yet.

Once someone has one in hand, we need to get an idea of whether it's possible to thin the case and then have a custom strap made up.

For a rubber strap it's a joke, regardless of gen watch prices.

The RM35-01 has a fabric strap with loop and Velcro fastening. That's why I'm hoping we can thin the case, discard the rep rubber and get a fabric strap made up to the new case dimensions and fixings.

Has anyone removed a rep rubber yet that can confirm the fixings? Photos would be great

It's definitely real FC, well front and back that is. Sides are not, it's only dlc.
I'm ordering one as well.

Just got my hands on one and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Thought I'll be bothered by wearing something with fake gears on the dial but it seems pretty complex with the different textures created by the brushed steel and pseudo black steel cage holding it together.

Only complains beside the non-blue Tint glass is that it seems that the glass is glued onto the case and you can see the glue under close scrutinity

Yes you are able to see the FC pattern under direct light . But due to its construction with decoration and hence thicker case, it is slightly harder to see than Gen under normal circumstances

Overall pretty happy with my purchase and it makes me want a Gen RM even more !
Argh!
