Is the workmanship of the ZF Factory V3 version Richard Mille carbon fiber RM35-02 good?

Richard Mille Wristwatch RM35-02 model is produced by ZF Factory with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Case and Body Workmanship

Let's look at the general idea first: the case, case back and crown are made entirely of carbon fiber, extremely light. In addition, the patterns are well processed, giving a visual feeling close to the original. Currently, in all other versions, only the case or upper and lower panels are carbon fiber; Carbon fiber is not used in the crown. In this model, an all-carbon case is produced with RM's original NTPT carbon fiber; The cloud and wave patterns of NTPT carbon have been retouched by hand processing by US case masters, and its hand condition is unrivaled. 44x50 mm size fits most wrists; The highest hardness sapphire glass material and double-sided blue anti-reflective coating are applied. The overall appearance is in a more sporty and complex direction.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Case thickness is thinner than other versions; In particular, the curvature of the case layers has been recaptured very successfully, its combination with the strap is fluid and clearly superior to other versions.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Let's look at the details: The workmanship of the gears and skeleton mechanism on the front is actually quite meticulous; It must be a bit advantageous compared to the versions on the market.

As for the mechanism at the back, the workmanship of the rear rotor is quite good; There are no obvious defects on all of the screws on the transparent case back. The movement was specially modified from Seiko NH05 and converted into the RM.RMUL3 movement; The hour and minute wheels move as adjustments are made, the appearance is closer to the original.

Its appearance in the form of a flashy barrel (tonneau) is classic and stylish. The workmanship of the dial surface and gear structure are exactly the same as the original; The English letter engravings are exactly the same as the original, the workmanship is quite nice; The engraving, brushing and polishing of the hour and minute hands are exactly the same as the original.

The strap is made of natural rubber material; It is light and comfortable, and the buckle is titanium. The glass of the ZF Richard 035, the rubber seal on the crown, the rubber strap and the titanium buckle are exactly compatible with the original.

After explaining the pros, it's time for the cons. Due to technical constraints and cost, the rotating wheel shown with the arrow does not move; While this part should move while the original watch is running, this part does not rotate in this model of ZF. But frankly, it is not that important whether this brand returns or not, especially since nine out of ten of those who wear it in nightlife wear replicas. After all, this watch is more than enough to impress a naive person or a few young girls. Still, this mechanism can rotate the minute wheel and hour wheel dial, which is an improvement!

Dial and Hand Details

Summary: The 3 gears on the skeleton of the ZF Richard Mille RM35-02 can move and rotate together with the hour hand; Currently only ZF can achieve this, which is really great. ZF Factory Richard Mille RM35-02, leaving that small drawback aside, is a Richard really worth buying. Because Richard Mille literally does business for the rich; Therefore, he does not do what is easy in terms of design, he does not like what is simple. So when you wear this to the night, you give off a real rich kid vibe. ZF Factory The version released this time has completely surpassed all previous versions in terms of appearance and details; Although there is still a distance from the million-dollar original, it is more than enough to get the enthusiasm.
