I'm not sure why the video doesn't work for me, instead it just shows a round image and some chinese text.

Need to log in.

I hope the rubber coating doesn’t have a defect and melt away esp when some of us light a cigar or are in the hot sun. I’m praying it’s not another AP Sincere defect...

Oh ok, I logged in and saw the video. I do not think it is ZF's RM055? It looks like a KVF RM055. But that's just from what I can see, let me know if this is wrong.

The video link TheDonSL posted is ZF. The other two one is KVF and one is some straight garbage rep.

Judging by the pics on PT site this thing is a scratch and mark magnet... which is odd as it’s meant to be ceramic so pretty scratch proof...

Still really want one for the summer anyway. Can’t afford it now thanks to a dreadful year, but hopefully come spring time I’ll be getting one!!

Thought the same in the first place but if you keep the abrasive properties of bead blasted ceramics in mind one could come to the conclusion of wear and tear because of not so careful handling. Just like a sanding stick with a very fine 1000 grid

think about the panerai ceramica where you can easily see every scratch caused by a metal object which can be wiped away as it is the resedue of the softer material.

Then the white colour in addition to the „scratches“ - i can imagine that this prototype has seen some shady places inside china - hopefully they can be removed.

Who is going to tell ZF that they need to wrap their hands around a Vaucher VMF 3000 and start cloning that thing with skeletonizing the main plate? Man that would be a dream...

at least they made the mid case and back from rubber coated Ti which is a nice attention to detail while keeping this eyesore of a base movement.

Food for thought - ordering a minimum of 25 pieces of the bespoken VMF 3000 with H,M,Sc configuration at 990,- CHF/ piece - it would be still cheaper than buying one gen rm...

let that soak in haha

Have they actually made the mid case and caseback with rubberised finish?! I would be surprised if they had, but if they have them I’m even more impressed!

I know we don’t support ABD but what’s the deal with this movement? See how the movement is skeleton and different from the 055? What do you think is up with this, because the movement here looks pretty good????? Is it a real RM?
