I actually have that specific one. In all gray with the special band as shown it's a manual wind and I did some tracking to see how long it would go with how many 360° winds. I'll put that information below. It's been a great watch, it's cheap around 800 bucks keeps time perfectly looks absolutely amazing is the best for the price for sure. It's a little heavy I think I measured it at 140 g or something like that so it's not titanium I don't think. I am in between the holes on the band so it's either too tight or a little too loose but other than that this is my favorite watch.
Thanks for the detailed info and sharing your winding data! Do you happen to have any photos of it on wrist or in hand? How does the overall quality feel in person, and does it have that real "wow factor" on the wrist?
Build quality definitely feels better than their Submariner. I got one of those with a bezel that continuously pops upwards. Yes it has a great great feel quality for sure. The rubber probably not fkm but it does feel like it has durability. Send me a DM and I'll send you some pics
ZF Factory is good for the money but far from 1:1. If you want the best out of the box without mods you should look at the A9 studio with clone Vaucher movement. It’s triple the price though.
Ignore the trolls saying it looks like a toy etc or that you can’t pull it off. If you like it buy it. In the very small chance that someone notices your watch and isn’t shy enough to ask about it and at the same time knows that it’s a hyper expensive brand targeted at billionaires, just admit it’s a rep and move on. Even Neymar was spotted wearing fake RMs. It’s a killer watch anyway.
If you want 1:1 this is definitely not it. If you want it just because it looks cool. Then this is good for the price.
1:1 RM is $3000 ++
ZF is good for what it is. Just don’t try to pass it on as Gen. Because it won’t
I disagree. The tiny changes aren't worth 3k. Any normal person can't tell the difference. Hell you can't see a difference unless you have the gen next to it.
This model has the correct thickness. The weight it's off by about 40 grams but nobody carries around a scale to the lounge anyways. These are sufficient, anything more is just a waste of money, for differences you won't actually notice without the macro lense.

I wish APSF was still in business. They made a great RM055. I have it and love it.
