So the movement is cloned but now the defect is the carbon case?
Next time they add the ABD carbon, but make something else shit. lol

Hope another factory picks up this rep movement like clean or something, only real way to get the best reps is some healthy competition.

It's a shame as besides the movement the case shape/dimensions/screw placements itself is also the best I've seen on a mass produced RM rep so far.
All too zebra patterned in my opinion. Almost all gens have nice flakered pattern.I'm not sure why but to my eyes, the red and black one looks like it has a better carbon pattern than all the other ones.
Is it going to be another lottery based rep to get a good looking carbon?
imagine getting one of these movement serviced. lol, impossible
wonder how the reliability is going to be

The servicing shouldn't be that hard because it's super simple, it's replacing anything that breaks ever that's going to probably be close to impossible without a lathe or a donor watch. I'm hoping it gets as popular and available as the 4130 but that's probably never going to happen.

why would you bother servicing it? It would make sense to just to buy the newer version haha
fair point for most reps but these are getting pricey to the point that maintenance starts making more sense

Because
1. $1k is not a trivial amount.
2. Most people don't want to go through the hassle of qc, customs, waiting weeks (months) every time there's a small issue
3. Buying a new rep doesn't guarantee it'll run perfectly, some people service it right off the bat
3. Instead of rushing and buying early versions some of us wait till it get to a version we're happy with and just go with it and there isn't aren't any massive updates that make much difference, like we see for daytona, Pepsi etc for example.

Yes agreed but you understand servicing costs money also right? Watchmakers are not cheap either , does it make sense to spend 4-500$ servicing a watch that’s worth 1k? Yes I’m sure you can find someone to do it cheaper, but like with most things in life you get what you pay for.
To each their own though. That’s simply my opinion

You can do what you want, not disagreeing, just saying why not everyone would do the exact same as you.
Also I've never paid anywhere near $500 to service a rep. Closer to £130-£150 which might partly explain the difference.
