Description
Velcro Strap Baby Nadal Richard Mille Super Clone RM 35-01 Carbon TPT Replica Watch, We have opted for a high-quality Velcro strap; just like the genuine version, it weighs less than 5g. Thanks to the absence of a heavy metal clasp, the total weight of the Super Clone RM 35-01 with the Velcro strap is 65g—significantly lighter than the 85g version with the rubber strap. In fact, I highly recommend the Velcro strap, as it truly highlights the lightweight nature of the RM 35-01 sports watch. The Velcro strap sourced by John Studio is a premium product offering excellent breathability; unlike rubber straps, it does not stick to the skin or cause discomfort when sweating. It is comfortable against the wrist and allows athletes to adjust the fit with micron-level precision, ensuring the watch stays perfectly locked in place.
Baby Nadal and RM 35-01
The RM 35-01 was officially launched in January 2014, marking the first time Richard Mille incorporated aerospace-grade Carbon TPT into a timepiece. This non-metallic material combines the rigidity of carbon fiber with silk-like durability and absolute resistance to deformation, all while being remarkably lightweight. Between 2012 and 2013, Rafael Nadal was enduring a particularly painful period in his career; a severe knee injury had forced him to withdraw from competition for seven months. However, 2013 saw one of the greatest comebacks in tennis history. Nadal not only triumphed at both the French Open and the US Open but also reclaimed the world number one ranking. This spectacular resurgence captivated the world, paving the way for the RM 35-01—the second-generation "Baby Nadal."
The "Baby Nadal" collection comprises the RM 035, RM 35-01, RM 35-02, and RM 35-03 models. Their most distinct visual differences lie in their movement architectures: the RM 035 features a slender geometric mesh woven from a magnesium-aluminum alloy; the RM 35-01 employs a black, racing-inspired roll-cage structure made of Grade 5 titanium; the RM 35-02 utilizes a reconstructed, layered "peninsula-style" skeleton; and the RM 35-03 boasts a futuristic "starship engine" structure.
A common thread across the Baby Nadal collection is the use of pure manual-winding skeletonized movements featuring standard balance wheels—contrary to the common misconception that they house rotating tourbillons. The series' core innovation lies in dispensing with the tourbillon mechanism in favor of a skeletonized titanium architecture, paired with a minimalist three-hand display. Notably, the RM 35-01 movement weighs just 4g, making it even lighter than the 4.3g movement found in the first-generation RM 035.
Craftsmanship: Genuine vs Super-Clone
Genuine Product:
The bezel, case back, and center layer are all made of Carbon TPT® material. First, countless layers of carbon fiber, each less than 30 micrometers thick, are separated and then precisely stacked on an automated machine. The fibers in each layer are interlaced at a 45-degree angle. These stacked carbon fibers are then placed in a resin-containing matrix and heated to 120 degrees Celsius for curing. Finally, they are sent to a professional CNC factory for 3D machining, resulting in a natural layered wood grain or flowing cloud-like black wrinkled texture. Each RM 35-01 has a unique appearance. The movement is the Grade 5 Titanium RMUL3 manual-winding skeletonized movement with a black PVD coating, presenting a deep matte black finish.
This Top Replica:
The bezel, case middle, and case back are all crafted from composite carbon fiber; the workshop obtained the original specifications through the disassembly and 3D laser scanning of an authentic timepiece, subsequently employing high-precision 5-axis CNC machines for rigorous machining. Utilizing genuine layered fiber material, the machined surfaces reveal intricate, natural striations—alternating layers of black and white reminiscent of clouds, marble, or layered snow. The beveled edges feature a refined brushed finish, offering a tactile experience that is warm and velvety, with subtle, undulating variations in texture.
This RM 35-01 super clone watch completely abandons the traditional movement construction that relies on decorative base plates; instead, it utilizes an integrated RMUL3 clone movement, featuring a skeletonized design where the mainplate and intersecting bridges are machined as a single unit. To replicate the signature rugged lines of the original RM 35-01 skeleton, Grade 2 titanium is used for these intersecting V-shaped bridges. The surfaces undergo a black PVD treatment, and the skeletonized edges feature meticulous finishing—combining machine-executed brushing (mimicking a hand-finished look) with 45-degree beveled polishing—achieving a visual resemblance of over 95%. However, under magnification, the level of intricate hand-finishing still falls short of the genuine RM 35-01. Additionally, our movement weighs approximately 12g, whereas the genuine version weighs 4g.
Low-end Replica:
The watch features a standard resin case with a black lacquer finish; the carbon fiber pattern is applied via "water transfer printing," resulting in a uniform grid-like film. Not only does it lack the distinctive layered texture of genuine carbon fiber, but under sunlight, it also betrays a cheap, glossy plastic sheen. It houses an automatic mechanical movement, yet a thin, stamped sheet-metal overlay—designed to mimic a bridge—is affixed atop the mechanism; the intricate-looking gears on the dial side are merely printed, fixed metal appliqués—the entire gear assembly is completely static, and there is no functional balance wheel. The case exceeds 17mm in thickness and weighs over 120g.
Authentic Linked Gears and Balance Wheel
This RM 35-01 super clone watch features authentic linked gears. When you wind the watch by turning the crown, the mainsprings in the two mainspring barrels at 12 o'clock actually tighten and rotate. The entire transmission gear chain is genuinely linked, completely eliminating the "static sticker gears." Furthermore, by rearranging the escapement system, the balance wheel is successfully locked in the lower left 7-8 o'clock position, perfectly matching the genuine article. The only flaw is that the genuine balance wheel is completely clean above, without any extra metal levers. Upon close inspection of the balance wheel bearing on this replica, two small, protruding metal adjusting pins (the regulator) can often be seen. Although John Studio uses fake decorative pieces to conceal the regulator pins, these flaws are still visible under high magnification.
Water Resistance
This top replica watch features a waterproof gasket embedded in the gaps between the bezel, middle layer, and case back. These are then tightened longitudinally with 12 titanium spline screws using extremely high and even torque, completely sealing the gaps in the case by deforming the rubber under pressure. A crucial element is the crown; as a manual-winding watch, the crown is frequently turned, resulting in significant wear. The genuine watch uses a Torque-limiting crown and a complex diving-grade patented sealing kit, while this replica, limited by cost, uses a traditional push-pull crown structure, relying solely on a rubber gasket inside the crown tube for physical sealing. While its water resistance exceeds that of the RM 11 Super Clone series, reaching 20 meters, it's only sufficient for everyday water contact (such as handwashing, sweating, or light rain). It is worth noting that even though authentic watches may have a water-resistance rating of 50 meters, in practice, this is limited to protection against everyday exposure to water; engaging in activities such as swimming, diving, surfing, or showering still carries significant risk. This is primarily due to the complex "sandwich" construction, tonneau-shaped case, and signature five-screw design of RM watches.
