The world of watch modification offers some exciting advancements, especially when compared to factory-made versions. Here, we explore the eight remarkable upgrades found in modified watch cases that make them stand out.
Firstly, modified watches use original data cases with ceramic top covers. Their middle frame and back cover are crafted from genuine titanium alloy wrapped in fluororubber, mirroring the original design. This not only achieves the authentic weight but also makes them lighter than any factory-made versions.
Secondly, thanks to original data cases, modified watches maintain the precise curvature of the case interface with the strap. While some factory versions have a curve that’s too steep, causing incompatibility with original straps, modified watches ensure that all straps and accessories are interchangeable with the originals.
Another upgrade is the use of high-transparency sapphire crystal glass with a subtle blue coating effect, identical to the original RM055 ceramic model. In stark contrast, factory watches display a ‘purple-blue coating’ effect, making it easy to spot the differences even from afar.
The unique ‘reflective strip on the glass edges’ design of the RM055 model is maintained in modified watches, featuring rounded corners instead of the blunt angles seen in factory versions.
Modified watches boast a titanium alloy crown in its natural color, unlike some factory models that use black coating on non-titanium materials, leading to inconsistencies in color and shape details.
In terms of clasp construction, modified watches offer titanium alloy clasps that match the original in terms of shape, engraving, and sandblasting effects. Particularly, the depth and accuracy of engraving surpass any found in factory-made versions, which sometimes even use stainless steel for the clasps.
The logo on the rubber-wrapped titanium alloy back cover of modified watches is true to the original design, whereas many factory models have logos completely off-mark.
Finally, modified watches provide exceptional value for their price. Previously priced in the tens of thousands, they are now available at a slightly higher cost than factory versions. Experience the RM055 ceramic series modified watch and feel the difference!
