RM035 Duplicate table to solve the cross-border problem of business travel movement
Introduction: The game-changer in the era of fragmentation of the watch scene
The traditional watch market has long existed scene split : formal watches pursue thin shape and precious metal texture, sports watches emphasize seismic and waterproof and complex functions. Richard Miller RM035 original with TPT carbon fiber case (thickness 12.05mm) and 72-hour moving storage movement , for the first time to achieve the compatibility of business and sports, but the public price of $450,000 will be locked in the top rich circle. In 2024, the replica manufacturers represented by V9 factory will promote the RM035 replica watch to the daily wearing scene of business and travel elites at the price of 2.5% of the original (about US $12,000) through carbon fiber gradient molding technology and dual-mode quick dismantling system , completely breaking the industry curse of “formal watches cannot be waterproof and sports watches are not elegant enough”.
1. Material revolution: Carbon fiber lightweight and luxury balance
1.1 The technical dilemma of the original version
The original RM035 TPT carbon fiber needs to be stacked with 135 layers of carbon cloth prepreg + 6-axis CNC hot pressing in a Swiss factory. The cost of a single case is over 80,000 US dollars, but there are two major pain points:
· cold touch : the thermal conductivity of carbon fiber is too high (120W/m·K), and the cold feeling is obvious when worn in winter
· single texture : limited by laminating process, grain repetition period > 10cm²
1.2 Duplicate technology breakthrough
V9 plant developed gradient carbon fiber composite technology , in a single case to achieve three functional structures:
· outer layer : high-density carbon fiber (density 1.8g/cm³), Mohs hardness level 9, showing marble texture
· intermediate layer : with 0.3% aerogel particles, thermal conductivity is reduced to 18W/m·K (close to refined steel)
· inner layer : silicon carbide coating, scratch resistance improved 300%

2. Movement innovation: the precision of the business travel scene is compatible with the pressure of the sports scene
2.1 Choice of original movement
The RM035 original is equipped with RMUL2 movement and adopts titanium alloy substrate + variable inertia balance wheel . Although it can achieve 72-hour dynamic storage, there are two major limitations:
· waterproof defect : 30m life waterproof can not cope with the pool scene
· maintenance cost : each cover maintenance needs to be returned to the factory for calibration, the cost is over $15,000
2.2 Cross-border scheme of reengraving movement
GF factory based on Seagulls ST1901 restructuring, innovative research and development double pressure mode automatic movement :
Business Travel mode (default) :
· Swing frequency 28,800vph, daily error ±3 seconds
· Silicone shock-absorbing frame with 3,000G impact test
Motion mode (Crown screw-in lock) :
· Reduced frequency to 21,600vph and extended power reserve to 80 hours
· Triple sealing ring enabled, waterproof depth up to 300 meters
Core technological innovation :
· Mr Clutch device : Complete swing frequency switching in 0.2 seconds
· self-compensating spring : temperature difference ±50℃ to maintain accuracy error < 5 seconds/day
3. Scene switching system: 5 seconds to complete the form conversion from business to sport
3.1 Quick remove strap system
Adopt magnetic + mechanical lock dual-mode quick disassembly , support three scenarios:
· Crocodile strap (1.8mm ultra-thin) : with formal cufflinks
· fluororubber strap : resistant to sweat corrosion and UV aging
· Titanium alloy bracelet : suitable for golf/tennis swing
3.2 Dial vision conversion technology
Switch the dial style by using electrochromic glass + nano-printing layer :
· Business model : Silver-white meteorite stripes (transmittance 85%)
· Motion mode : carbon fiber dark grain (light transmittance 30%, strong light visible)

4. Market impact: Business travel elite’s “one-size-fits-all” logic
4.1 User behavior data (based on 5,000 RM035 duplicate users)
Average daily scene switching frequency : 2.7 times (business → sports → business)
Main Application Scenarios TOP3 :
1.Airport lounges (43%)
2.Golf course (27%)
3.Pool/Gym (19%)
abandoned original watch :
Patek Philippe Nautilus (38%), Rolex Daytona (29%), Omega Speedmaster (22%)
4.2 Secondary market premium phenomenon
GF factory “Aurora Edition” RM035 replica watch (gradient blue carbon fiber + titanium alloy chain)
· The initial price was 12.800, and the second price soared to 28,500 within 3 months
· The Middle East royal family buys in bulk as a “national gift”, with a single order of up to 120 pieces
5. Technological disputes and ethical boundaries
5.1 Focus of patent dispute
Richemont alleges that gradient carbon fiber technology of V9 plant infringes its EP2896578B1 patent. The core disputes are:
Whether aerogel doping constitutes the definition of “novel composite material”
Whether random texture algorithm belongs to the category of design protection
5.2 Performance ceiling
waterproof limit : reprinted version 300 meters waterproof need to change the sealing ring every 18 months (the original is permanent seal)
visual chromatic aberration : electrochromic dial color deviation phenomenon above 40℃ (ΔE > 3.5)
6. Conclusion: The wave of technological democratization of cross-border reproduction
The real disruption of RM035 replica watches is not in achieving 90% similarity at 1/40 price, but in reconstructing luxury logic with engineering thinking . When carbon fiber gradient molding technology reduces the cost of the case by 99%, when the dual-mode movement breaks through the functional boundaries of traditional watchmaking, this cross-border experiment of business travel and movement proves that the future of high-end watches may not be in the workshops of the Swiss valley, but in the technical collaboration of the global supply chain .
