RM Factory Richard Mille RM21-01 Replica Watch Review

Richard Mille’s RM21-01 is a masterpiece of mechanical art and extreme engineering, combining a flying tourbillon, carbon fiber construction, and futuristic design. Can this RM factory’s version of the watch, from its proportions and materials to the movement finishing, compare to the original? I tested it for a while, and now I’ll elaborate.

Can carbon fiber and titanium alloy be perfectly integrated?

The RM factory’s RM21-01 is virtually identical in appearance to the original. The case is a typical tonneau shape, perfectly proportioned with smooth lines. It uses the same carbon fiber material as the original, combined with a titanium alloy structure, resulting in a very clear sense of layering in the frame. The bezel’s texture direction is consistent, looking very natural, unlike the fake carbon fiber feel of some replicas. Through the sapphire crystal, you can see the internal skeletonized structure and the layout of the flying tourbillon, with distinct layers. However, compared to the original, the RM factory’s carbon fiber layering is slightly shallower, and the reflection is brighter, but the overall accuracy exceeds 90%.

Is RM factory’s carbon fiber replication process good?

The original Richard Mille RM21-01 uses a hybrid material of aerospace-grade carbon fiber and titanium alloy, and the RM factory replicates the appearance identically. The carbon fiber parts utilize high-pressure lamination technology, resulting in a tight, natural texture and a delicate feel. The titanium alloy case back is finely brushed with sharp edges and a high degree of fit. The white rubber strap feels great, soft and elastic, and is very comfortable to wear. However, the replica’s titanium polishing is slightly too bright, resulting in noticeable reflections under strong light, but it’s still much better than most similar replicas on the market. The original uses Richard Mille’s RM21-01 manual-winding tourbillon movement, which has a complex structure and strong three-dimensional effect. The RM factory uses a super-cloned movement with a simulated tourbillon device, running smoothly without noticeable noise. The measured frequency is 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The winding feels firm, the crown feedback is clear, and while there are slight simplifications in the bridge polishing, blued screws, and balance wheel details, the visual effect is already sufficiently realistic. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the intricate gear mechanism and shock-absorbing structure, giving it a high-quality mechanical feel.

What is the mechanical feel of carbon fiber?

The first feeling when I saw this RM factory replica watch is its light. The watch is made of Carbon fibre and titanium alloy. It is very light, no pressure in your wrist. Almost no feel in your wrist. The case size is around 14mm in thick. When you look at it, you feel that it is thick around 14mm, but when you wear it, you do not feel it is thick. The rubber strap is very soft to touch your wrist. It does not hamper your wrist movement. The edge of the case is very smoothly polished. No rough edge at all. Water Resistance is around 50m, it is ok for daily wear. The watch is more comfortable and lighter than other steel case replica watch.This is what I like about the RM factory watch. The open work bridge on the dial is well define. The metal edge is smooth. The luminous on the numerals is full and even. The crown is made of black rubber coated titanium, it rotate very smooth. All screw are polished one by one, the engraving depth is even. The only negative point I can see is the case back engraving a little shallow, so the edge is not very sharp like the real one. The finishing precision is still one of the best in replica watch, you can see almost no finishing precision problem in the watch.

Is it worth replicating the RM factory?

The replica watch that RM Factory makes Richard Mille RM21-01 is rather well-construction. The percentages are correct, materials are genuine and the movement is smooth. It is one of the purest fakes that appear in its price range. It is best in its case made of carbon fiber, movement design and finishing features, but only a little less than the original in the surface depth and blued screw. This fake watch is a great option to the others who enjoy the mechanical style of the watches but have a small budget on Richard Mille watches.
