ZF RM55, new super clone movement

[Cheesegrater]

Pretty much, yeah. The movement alone was being sold for like $5k only a few months ago before it was mass produced. $1k ain't that much for what appears to be a ~95% clone of a $350k watch. The BBR v3 is a bit cheaper but both that and the ZF are an entirely different ballgame from the v1/v2.

What’s the 5% that’s missing from it being a full clone?

I'm not totally sure as I don't have one in hand yet but in general the details: there's a regulated balance, finishing differences, exact case shape and size, material details, screw size, etc. The stuff that normal people don't notice but we do.

O I c. So nothing like they couldn’t clone a gear or something. If that’s the case then all watches even the 5712 ppf is not 100%.

Interesting, the watch in the video is not the new ZF clone watch on this thread, look at the section to the bottom right section on the rear view where it runs to the screw which secures the movement to the case. I made a post a few pages back.
Not sure what this watch is.

Ribs too wide on that one, ZF better.

That's right, no rep is 100%, not a single one.

Did some digging and found a video of what appears to be the new ZF movement based on previously mentioned errors, take a look https://b23.tv/gCIFjDi

It's the ZF. You can most easily tell from the rear movement shot, with the differences noted in prior posts (balance wheel, the different cut-out in the lower left movement screw attachment area, etc.).

68 grams. DAMN. I'm trying to hold out to see others QC and pics but it's becoming so difficult.

Looks like the 35-01 has been updated with clone movement too, screenshots from a video i was sent

 

[Timrm]

I just paid 12k for a 35-01 clone, I hope it’s not the same lol

box and papers

 

[FrankUnderwood1]

I hope ZF is gonna make the RM61-01 as well, as it has the same movement architecture.

 

[Bombardier]

fuck the gen, there is no way that they would cost that much, it is like paying 1000 quid for a Big Mac. REPs are the future..

35-01 from ZF???
I'm talking to the dealer to order a 35-01 from BBR!

what I do!!!??

 

[GiantSquid]

That 35 is just an image, no confirmation it's coming out soon or that it's from ZF. As for what you should do, you should buy both of them because watches are awesome and then you would have two.

 

[QueTip]

You guys are jumping to crazy conclusions. None of the most recently shared watches are the ZF but are vauchers or the clone clone. Neither is the same as the ZF.
