ZF RM55, new super clone movement

[WenR]

Am I wrong or the new $1k ZF has a thickness of 13.5mm which is the same as gen?
At least, this is what is claimed. No?

Gen 055 white : 13.05mm

Gen 055 white : 13.05mm

Ok thank you.
Still reasonably close, should be the same on the wrist

I think we're dealing with two different movements, and I suspect that one is from Dandong and one is from Shanghai. The movement used in the ZF version seems to have a regulator and beat adjustor that are very similar to the style we see on Rolex clone movements from Dandong (e.g. the DD4130, VS3235, etc). The version of the RM movement we're seeing in the YSF and RMF versions have the same regulator and beat adjustor -- and the regulator style on this movement looks like the style we've seen on Shanghai clone Rolex movements. While I think it's probably too early to start calling these movements the DD-RMUL2 and SH-RMUL2, I think we should at least distinguish them. I'm not even sure if RMF and YSF are different factories -- I have only ever found the YSF or RMF version listed on a TD's site, but never both. It wouldn't surprise me if RMF and YSF are the same factory.

Thanks, your pictures show ZF rib width closer or same as genuine, and YSF too wide.

This might be an easier way to spotting differences... a couple of GIFs where each image is swapped every 0.5 seconds. This isn't a perfect method because obviously the images aren't taken from exactly the same angles and distances -- that's why the YSF and ZF case sizes look very different in the back side images whereas they look very close in the front side images. But this method does help highlight differences like the thickness of the ribs.

Not bad pricing actually!

 

[VenomGT3]

What screwdriver size fits the RM055? I guess any four prong RM screwdriver will do the trick?

 

[WenR]

Its from non TD in my country, bought the strap for 900usd. Quality is super nice, and no, seller dont send worldwide.

Screwdriver for 055 is using 2.35mm, 2.65mm for rm011/065 .

Not bad for the price, as long its rubber dust free, it will be nice strap

Oh nice. Is it difficult to source the parts for such a build?

 

[WenR]

Its cnc case v1, i dont know if they have stock for this case anymore.

For present time, the cnc case is using rubberized titanium for midcase and backcase. But im not sure the rubberized will be long lasting white color, or will be turning yellow in the future.

Source parts not difficult , but its all non TD. Buy at your own risk mate.

If there is no rubberized titanium , it is not CNC

Gen BUBBA is Rubberized titanium midcase and caseback.
