RMALTI RM001 Unboxing and impressions

[@danspanos]

Looks great, but these companies really need help with their naming choices! lol Great unboxing, Steve! Try to stay cool!

[@notyourgrandadswatch7705]

Wow! That linden textured dial in grey and those applied indicies are spectacular. I really like the logo design. It reminds me of Rado

[@that_which_is_not]

Just had a look, the blue looks lovely!

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

indeed...some really interesting combos. I kinda like the Rose gold and brown dial

[@troynasello2085]

It's a grand Seiko homage &bit looks fantastic! I love that Grand Seiko case, I bought the case from Lucius artillier mod store & built a nice watch with a sellita sw200. But the one I have is 39mm & 20mm lug width & 200m water resistance.

[@gimbydude491]

Nice unboxing, I noticed their watches and they looked promising, thanks for taking the plunge and giving us a review!! 👊👍

[@twitchyjambo]

I was looking at the swirly dial version of this yesterday and you have a review today😎👍 really happy,good call man🤗

[@markdrummond7]

I wish they would do a GMT version using the NH34 - that would be utterly amazing.

[@saadatkhan8273]

This looks amaaazing the finishing looks so good on camera... Would love a comparison with a sanmartin

[@WATCHingJames]

Great to see this one. I’m so keen to pick one up

[@johnmuthan286]

Had this watch In my radar and was expecting a review before pulling the trigger. Thanks for quick first impression will be waiting for the full review. Seems a pretty solid watch.

[@watch-box]

Im very impressed - placing an order now. I'll let the store know that you are the reason I visited them, perhaps they can sort a link for you. EDIT: Ive spoke to them, it looks like you may be able to get a link if you speak to them, very helpful chap.

[@AutisticOddball]

Beautiful. Looks like a homage to the SARB021,023,045 KITKAT line.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

definitely has the characteristics for sure. in my research it looks a lot like the GS "Birch"

[@tarasmathers7423]

FINALLY.....the watch I have been waiting for!!!!! Thank you for sharing it. Love the ST1901 Chrono BTW. That's one I've been eyeing for awhile now. Such a cool piece, and can't beat the price. Cheers

[@R023N]

I like what I'm seeing. Can't wait for the full review

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

Quite impressive eh?

[@cynicalwatchreviews]

Looks impressive, they really should go with Rimalti though.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

agreed. RIMALTI would be totally fine.

[@ohhenry2]

The company name is Shenzhen Rose, and on Reddit, people were thinking "Zen Rose" would be a good shortening. I'd go for Zen Rose a totally made up name like Rimalti, personally.

[@nintendokings]

@@ohhenry2 Zen Rose is kinda cringy though, I prefer something made up like Rimalti

[@jeffreygoss8109]

I hate these names with a missing vowel.

[@cynicalwatchreviews]

@@ohhenry2I liked your Zen Rose suggestion in the thread. I voted Rimalti because it seems the most likely.

[@liambyrne3488]

Serious GS white birch vibes here for about £8K less! Great pick up Steve 👍🏻

[@Tangylives]

The case finish isn't bad at all! Not far off my old Seiko SARX and the bracelet fit and finish is far above the my old SARX (to nobody's surprise really). Not a fan of the name and they don't have any dial options that appeal to me, but a solid effort.

[@ifti]

Really good looking watch! Looks like a solid offering!

[@TypeSly]

This company is making some killer looking watches, that I've had my eye on for a little while now. They look like they're great quality too! Thank for the video :)

[@markkuzminski3922]

Nice find Steve! I've had a look in this store and there are a number of really interesting offerings. I will definitely consider these at some point.

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

Wow! That really looks good. Reminds me of a older Seiko.

[@asiantimepieces]

Oh wow I didn’t know about this piece. Thanks for showing us! I love big markers

[@killertaxi100]

I ordered and received one of there MM200 watches recently. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one! I'm looking at trying a 62mas from them soon as well.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

Oh, nice! Sounds like they've got some good quality through the range.

[@danspanos]

How was the bezel action and alignment? I just put one of those in my cart a little while ago. That red fume dial really caught my eye!!

[@killertaxi100]

@@danspanos Alignment of everything on my watch is perfect. Bezel action is okay. I got the black and gold mm200 with the birch dial. Looks stunning.

[@ikeman5774]

Nice review. I love the wider 22mm bracelet.

[@dunderhay9169]

That looks like a great find 👍

[@WesWatchRoom]

Great mind think alike, I've got the same watch (on the way) but with a different dial. I'll refer people to this video so they can the other dial style. But as for the watch, I'm so happy it looks good as the pictures didn't paint them in the best light.

[@scottlalonde2878]

If SARB and a DJ had a baby. Watch is good looking. Nice review, thanks🙂👍

[@markdrummond7]

Great unboxing and a beautiful watch. There does seem to be a gap between the lugs and bracelet visible at 8' 45" but in fairness that is a close up view. Will be buying this colour, just struggling to decide if I will go with or without the RMALTI logo. I see that the strap version has a discount in the upcoming sale but not the bracelet version.

[@wls265]

Like others I have gone and purchased this, look’s great went for the blue

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

nice! hope you enjoy it!

[@BCallum]

Very nice video! Thank you! looks to be priced just under Cronos.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

Yup, this $180 with NH movements seems to be the sweet spot. These and seestern offer good value

[@waynesellers4078]

Linen dials are amazing and the watch looks really good, but it's a shame about the scrabble bag name. I don't think it's enough to put me off though (they do no logo yay) If they made this with a miyota to get it a bit thinner that would be stunning.

[@kobe5rings]

When is the pagani riddler review dropping?

[@notyourgrandadswatch7705]

Great find thanks for sharing this brand.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

I'm glad I found them!

[@guanwaiheng1351]

Great reviews, 👍 Had a look at their store on allx, the green dial with gold indices is quite a watch.and stunning. The name brand could.be better or replace with logo. But I'm a bit unsure of the birch dial texture concern it might look cheap.

[@bifflee3603]

Wow looks really good and a very svelte thickness considering they are using a Seiko NH movement 👍🏼

[@83geeman]

This looks excellent, was actually looking at a similarly priced/similar looking Seiko, difference being it was quartz vs auto. This looks to have a better bracelet and clasp. The rmalti design on the clasp is very similar to pagani design, wonder if its a sister company.

[@AlexanderB.]

Interesting and quite beautiful watch. I like the grey linen dial and applied indices look nicely finished.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

This thing rocks. Exceeded expectations.

[@YannickKhong]

Oh my goodness. these look so good! Hope you get to review the blue linen dial too.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

Doubtful...but hopefully this gives you an idea of what it'll be like. I hope to get on good terms with the RMALTI brand and get some more of their models in. MM200 homages, and they have a couple new ones coming, a DateJust and a Black Bay homage.

[@irishwatchenthusiast6647]

Indices look very Seiko/GS-esque. The only thing spoiling the party is that dud of a brand name...

[@anasaly2549]

GS is my grail. So, this comes out and I know I will get one soon.

[@fernandonieto7825]

I'm waiting for my first RMALTI, the seiko glacier homage. Have great expectations on this. Glad to hear your good critics. What about Lume?

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

Zero lume on this model

[@Mannin_Watch_Time]

Glad you got your second channel back! Never heard of this brand before, great find! 👍 Looks like it will wear very well and play bigger than it’s dimensions suggest due to the 22mm lug width? 🤔

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

I think they kinda offset each other. definitly HEAVIER than I expected...but not much bigger. I think with a strap, the watch head would look pretty normal for a 40x47.

[@garydworshak5329]

Beautiful gray NATO on your San Martin SN0103! Didn’t see it on that review; could you please advise where you picked that up? And thanks for another great unboxing!

[@Mr-Safology]

Classy watch. I have a vintage poljot that has a linen dial. It's the same dial texture on the face of this watch. Only difference is, this watch has no scratches👍🏼 The flat pusher clasps on the bracelet, in my opinion, should be standard for all watches. Better than using my finger skin, as I have short finger nails. 😃

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

lol. yes this clasp is pretty nice actually. good action, no slop. I dig it. I like it more and more...even though it's only been an hour or 2

[@LajosKormos.]

and that Poljot is 34-35mm?

[@Mr-Safology]

@@LajosKormos. It's around 38-40mm including crown and ~43mm lug to lug It's square round case shape, the 70-80s movement is similar to a Rolex movement. Great timepiece.

Hi Steve, do you think it is worth going for the bracelet? As the bracelet version is not on sale during the up coming sale. But the one with the strap is going on sale, just wondering which one to pick up.

Yes, I do. It's a good one.

Stay tuned to the full review for that.. coming tomorrow most likely

[@ivanbcanada6454]

Looks impressive but I think for the money they should've gone with PT5000. Also, the name should've been Rimalti as someone else stated.

[@escapewheelwatchreviews2579]

I'm fine with the NH movement. biggest deal for me going with a PT5000 is thickness, and this one seems pretty good actually. I was expecting 12+mm..but nope. Agree with the branding
