After half a month of actual testing, today we will bring you the most realistic evaluation experience from the dimensions of material, movement, and wearing experience.
1. First impression after unboxing: Carbon fiber is amazing
My first impression when I got the watch was – the carbon fiber pattern is so beautiful! The APS factory uses imported NTPT carbon fiber material, which will show a charming metallic luster under light, and the texture and layering are not inferior to the original ones.
The case of this watch is made of imported NTPT carbon fiber material, with fine texture and shiny luster, and the visual effect is almost the same as the original one. The mirror surface is made of high-curvature sapphire glass, with double-sided coating treatment for clear and transparent appearance. It has the same original separated assembly structure to further enhance the sense of reality.
The dial adopts a hollow design, all gears can actually operate, the two barrels move synchronously during winding, and the plate and wheel linkage is smooth. The V2 version of the movement has a larger hollow area, and the operating logic is completely synchronized with the original. The needle pull-out and stop-seconds function is smooth and neat, the adjustment feels crisp, and the experience is very close to the original RM mechanical logic.
Highlights of details:

- High-curvature sapphire mirror, double-sided coating for high transparency
- Titanium screws are of fine workmanship and detachable design

2. Actual movement measurement: Is the Dandong V2 integrated movement strong enough?
Equipped with the most advanced technology currently on the marketDandong RMULL2 integrated movement , with extremely high stability and restoration. After multiple rounds of upgrades, the column wheel, splint, frame and other components have reached a high level of simulation, with accurate travel time and low repair rate. It is one of the most trustworthy movements in the current replica RM.
