RM035-01 from KVF

Recommended Posts

Hi all

Got the latest offering of the RM035-01 from KVF from a fellow member to fix a few issues for him and give it a test drive, and I’ve got to say compared to earlier iterations this is a marked improvement in a number of areas.

 Chiefly it is far higher quality feel and look than previous attempts, I particularly like their treatment of the mid case to make it appear layered like carbon (I don’t think it actually is carbon like the bezel and caseback).

Its also a lot thinner than old versions, which makes it a lot more wearable and overall just more compact.

It also feels really nice and light, especially on one of these Velcro straps which way virtually nothing. And that makes it comfy, even though it’s a fairly large watch!

I’d definitely say this is the one to go for from the RM time only sports watches line up, having owned a few RM055s, this is just a little more interesting with the case shape, and back on black with a flash of red is a very cool colour combo IMO!

Just my 2 cents. Have yours below!

Hi, would love a wrist shot too. Seriously think of getting my first Mille.

Unfortunately I was only doing a bit of work on this watch for another member, and I’ve long since sent it back to them, so I can’t help with a wrist shot. Sorry guys!

Hopefully I’ll soon be in possession of an even more special RM and you can expect plenty of wrist shots of that when it arrives!!

That's really a beauty, we want the review, we want the review, we want the review ;) 

They are a bit like the curvex series from Franck Muller, look big on the table but fit every wrist due to the curvature !

Ok ok, keep your beret on ;)

Review is pointless for the time being because these have all sold out, so you couldn’t rush out and buy one even if you wanted to!

I’m not even going to get into this discussion, other than to say that no one would know or care, so for god sake wear what you want!

They're not really my taste, but I have to say that I'm very impressed with the KVF RMs (notably the white 055 we're offering in the current vip comp). Finish is superb and it really does look and feel like a high-end watch.

DC - any good shots of the thickness of this one. I love the real extra flat rm67 and would love if the reps could get closer to that height.

Here’s the RM001 rep in profile, it’s not thin by any means, but it hugs the wrist nicely and the curvature makes it sit much much lower on the wrist than the RM011 or even the RM035 and RM055!!
