also debating picking up the BBR V3 white ceramic bubba but would ideally much prefer the new ZF one, just have no idea how long we’ll have to wait

I’m really holding back on purchasing a BBR RM055 v3 coz I know the ZF BBR RM055 is around the corner but then again the ZF will probably cost like 1000 to 1200USD once it’s released and because of the hype the markup might even be higher. And the first couple of months there probably will be supply shortage with people snatching for it and then there will be QC and all the shipping process so it might be awhile before I even get the ZF BBR RM055 at a really steep price point so I’m thinking if the BBR can shave off the itch for awhile :/

I think the ZF super clone is as good as it gets right now but wondering if I can order a custom NTPT bezel to replace the ZF super clone. The bezel definitely can do some improvements and it’s the biggest tell IMO right now. Perhaps we will see independent factories producing bezels for sale just like how deep/SW/buff produce dials etc for other watches.

The ceramic version should be closer to Gen I think

Not to derail this thread, but one quick question tho. Has anyone seen or heard of them making a custom CNC grey boutique case? Ive only seen white so far.

Nice watch @SEEKnDESTROY.

Im gonna hold out a bit and hope ZF makes the grey version. If they dont ill probably pick up the Carbon NTPT .

Don’t even know where people source the white ceramic CNC, any source u can provide? Interested in one. Saw the gray CNC few pages back, sure u did too, but looks terrible
