I got it from my local CN dealer for CNY$5400. Actually I've also asked him how's the quality of this new 055 like a month ago and he "thought" it isn't much of the differences from the old one. Now that I am owning one, I suspect if he ever handled it when he made that statement.

ZF RM55, new super clone movement
- Thread starter puretime
- Start date
And if you are uncertain, wait for more reviews from the forum members, people are starting to receive theirs, buyer opinions are more reliable than dealers IMO.

while it is always safer to use a TD. Be very weary of their over inflated, frankly scam prices. Some TD's are literally committing highway robbery to those that are uneducated. 15-20 k for a CNC build with this ZF movement is laughable. They will tell you it is "refinished" to gen spec, etc etc. All BS.

I’m glad that my TD under sells it. They say that it’s an average quality and prone to repair.

I've just received mine, and honestly it looks really good! Sure, the NTPT patterns maybe slightly lacking but for the price I feel it definitely is worth a purchase.
I see the new 35-02 just dropped as well

Can any experts say if this is an actual automatic movement?I see the new 35-02 just dropped as well
Also anyone have any idea why this would be a fair bit cheaper than ZF RM055?

That's the oooold BBR movement with an autowinder slapped on. I don't know if it's an actual auto but I do know that it's the prervious movement from the v2 BBR. The escape wheel location is a dead giveaway, and that would probably be the reason it's so cheap!
That "120 hour" things seems to be based on a quote from a Chinese video that actually says something like "this has two large barrels, it must have a long power reserve! Perhaps 100 hours". There was no way a clone was going to have over double the PR of a Vaucher-based movement.

Far from super clone

Another video claim that it could reach 120 hours of reserve because it had 2 winding box

I think we need to quit it with the 120 hour power reserve crap.... and focus on the more important stuff like....... many other things.

Nope it’s the new cnc case, with newest vaucher clone movement . This is a close to 20k build
Can we go back to the 120 hour power reserve discussion? I will not consider buying anything below 120 hours.
If that's true, it's insane, They are spot on. There are significant differences between that watch and the empty case that was posted a few pages back though
