let us know how it goes... and i'm particularly curious about the power reserve if it's supposedly 100 hours minimumMy YAS has arrived. First impression was how light it is, my only previous RM was the 001 tourbillon. The blue colour is on the lighter side as expected, almost like Tiffany blue. I also haven't own the previous ZF 055 either so I can't compare the NTPT. It is very well built tho and lot of fun to wear it.
That's what I am looking to find out too. I've winded like 30 rounds and it still keeps going, both barrels at front have stopped rotating, yet the rear side still rotates, I guess it is fully winded now. Seems to have the clutch mechanism to prevent over-winding, but strange to see it on a manual wind watch?
The BBR v3 does something similar, the front barrels will stop rotating but the rears don't. I also think it might have an automatic mainspring because I've wound mine 120 times without finding a hard stop; it's either a clutch or an auto spring, and it's weird to have it in a manual watch either way.
Or you can wait for a bit for the ZF v2, maybe next year I hope?I’m still debating whether or not it’s worth for me to get the new ZF or a BBR v3 for half the price…
I'm primarily referring to the bang-for-buck.
I thought you've already got the BBR v3, my bad. IMO if you don't have the BBR v3, go for the ZF's now, it's beautifully made and solid built; else wait for ZF v2, should be some of room for improvement in gen-like looking aspect. It kinda reminds me the old days when noob 4130 first came out, the opponent had nearly perfect case with a modified 7750 inside, whereas noob had the ground breaking 4130 clone with not so gen-like appearance. However, the only advantage of the BBR's now is probably only the price tag. Here's another quick shot:
Thanks for sharing your on wrists shots man! Do you think the crystal are a little yellowish ? or is it just lighting ?Direct sunlight:
Thanks for Sharing your review and picture! Man the clarity shown here is insane! amazing shot!Received mine, swapped with gen velcro strap. The actual watch is way much better than pics & vids. The thickness of ribs doesn’t bother me at all.
This is the best RM rep with realistic budget. I can’t believe this beauty is mine
Agreed. I recently sold my EURF RM027 tourbillon which cost me $1348 from my TD for ~$800. There’s not much of a “catch and release” market for RMs.
The reason of the yellowish crystal in the picture is between you are seeing through 2 crystals, it is hardly noticeable in real life, especially with my skin underneath. If you view the crystal in horizontal level, they are very clear in their own. The AR coating is outstanding, I would say it is about 80 to 90% of my gen omega Planet Ocean level.
