THE DC REVIEW: KVF Richard Mille RM011

[Stuvetjee]

hey _DC_ are you sure the dimensions of the gen is 40mm? I found this picture on the RM011-03 page of the official website:

Thats a different model mate.

Thats a different model mate.

Ah okay..good lord that is embarrassing.

Lol no worries mate. They are in the same collection, just a different name. It gets confusing sometimes with RM model numbers

Yeah as my esteemed colleague has pointed out that is the current RM011-03 (the 4th iteration of the model) which is larger than the original RM011 or subsequent RM011-01 and RM011-02!!

I'm dangerously close on pulling the trigger, is your rotor noisy?

Just pulled the trigger on that one! Very curious to see the quality of the white ceramic which is supposedly very hard to make.
Will post pics once I receive it!

Looking forward to this!

Just got my QCs here it is for you guys if you want to check out the new KVF RM 11

 

[Funtimezz]

Seems like they fixed both the italicized RICHARD MILLE font ontop of the 12 hour marker and also fixed the spelling mistake of "RICHADR MILLE" on the open back case.
Looks like we are good to go!! Can't wait!

When stating the month function change does not work on these watches, is it relatively easy to change the month manually? I assume the date of the month changes every 24 hours as it should, right?

When we say it doesn’t work we mean it literally DOESN’T WORK. Not automatically, not manually, not at all, it’s just fixed and always shows August!

OK, thanks for the explanation! The KVF RM011 is a beautiful watch, I really love the RG with gray strap in particular, but I think having the month fixed on "8" is a deal breaker for me for a relatively expensive replica. I hope they can design a future one with a working month function - or at least one that can be changed manually. (Although i doubt that can be done).

Am I the only one who can't see the photos DC uploaded on the original post?

No, no one can, annoyingly the host website changed its url and now they don’t work and I’ve not had time/patience to go through and re-link them!
