Thanks for the replies. When not being worn, is it best to keep the watches working but on a rotating device, or pull the winders and leave them off? Thanks

The RM055 is a manual wind watch. I’m no watch expert or anything, but I’ll go out on a limb and say that you don’t need to keep the watch on a rotating device.

Thank you, apologies I thought it was an automatic watch.

Just received the grey ceramic 055.

I now have both the grey and the white, and the grey is noticeably thicker.

I don’t have calipers to measure, but it looks maybe 1.5-2mm thicker.

A bit of a buzzkill, but still a beautiful watch.

That’s just.. so disappointing. I got my white ZF and I love it. Was looking forward to them releasing the grey ceramic with the updated movement, buuut it looks like it might be a longer wait than expected.

Regulator arm / not free sprung.
You can't easily see that from the dial side - but you can immediately spot the missing "threaded inserts" or "nuts" or whatever the silver-toned metal discs are. There are a few missing still, near the balance jewel and other places. Very easy to spot side by side from the dial side.
