Which model of RM has been cloned the best?

[farbo21]

I am really looking for the closest RM to the original. I don't even mind spending upwards of $2k it makes sense. I am not picky about the model. I would love to hear inputs on which RM model has been cloned the best and the source where I can purchase. Thank you all.

You can try BBR RM055 with custom made sapphire crystal case mods, which costs around $4,500 from Chinese dealer. Obviously you won’t get these modified models from TDs so it’s up to you.
There’s nothing like 100% close reps as of now but if you read other threads carefully, you may find decent 80% close models. If you want 100% close, you should wait another 2-3 years.

I saw in another thread that a lot of people love the RM035 made by Sonic. Any opinion on that?

Can you share any dealers that do the mods and upgrades to RMs?

You'd probably be better off asking a trusted modder on the forum to do some work on it for you.

From the comments on the forum, Sonic's 35-01 model looks very popular, you can wait for the comments of a few members who bought it.

So is it actually a super clone or miyota?

Another member on that thread stated the fact that the gears actually move on this movement. Not sure if that gives you any good insight or not!

There is no RM movement super clone

Would be a bit ridiculous if they could clone a movement from a $2.5M or so watch, but not get a cheesy Lemania copy done to finally make a half-way decent moonwatch with correctly spaced sub dials.
