Have you guys ever heard of the APS one? They say it’s better than the ZF but I can’t seem to find any regarding that

What do you think of APSF brushed ribs and NTPT pattern? It's more shiny

The previous videos I’ve seen of the APS, like this:

the carbon is only marginally better than ZF.

But the model in Justin’s video looks like gen NTPT. It’s incredible. Let’s hope that’s an updated version that APS is choosing to roll out now.

How’s the timekeeping on this? I just placed an order with onewatches, the NTPT looks incredible and rib patterns are way closer to gen than the ZF

uhhuh
how about we just wait until either APS or ZF merged their good parts to create 1 watch that has the best of both?

THese sellers are banking on people's impatience.

NTPT is an upgrade over ZF but the sticker ribs are a hard pass IMO. I’ll take frosting over stickers.

They did the factory is called RM
As far as I know RMF (or YSF — I think they’re the same factory) are not using the Dandong RMUL2 movement. I’m not sure which factory makes the RMUL2 movement used by RMF/YSF, but I strongly suspect it’s the Shanghai movement factory. It’ll be interesting to see if there are reliability issues discovered between these two movements down the road — remember the broken setting lever issues that SH3285 movements had when they were first released?

I think you missed his joke (entirely). He's not taking about the RMF Factory, he's talking about RM Factory, website shown below for reference:

Jokes aside, I was a bit annoyed by all the post in this thread bashing this release.
And why people wait because of the ribs, etc. Look where the RM reps came from. And still people are judging this watch based on pictures they see online zoomed etc. Let me tell you this for the ceramic 055 zf nailed it big time. Buy it see it then write here what you dont like else zip it with those useless zoomed in comments. No rep will ever be a gen. I havent seen one yet. Just look at this Amzing watch thank you for the video @VenomGT3
I just took this video of my ceramic 055
