Richard Mille has become extremely popular in recent years, even within the replica watch market. More factories are now participating in the production of Richard Mille replicas. In the past, only KV produced some RM models, and the quality was not very impressive. However, things have changed.

Today, more factories are willing to invest in developing high-quality super clone Richard Mille watches. Brands like ZF, APS, and BBR are now actively competing for market share—APS in particular is moving quickly and aggressively.

Besides these well-known factories, there are also independent workrooms that play a significant role in the development of Richard Mille replicas. These workrooms are typically run by individuals, not companies, and in many cases, they produce higher-quality replicas than the factories themselves.

For some of the latest Richard Mille models, these workrooms are the first to release super clones, often beating the factories to market. This trend reminds me of the early days of Panerai replicas, like the PAM 111, PAM 005, and PAM 127, which were intensely studied and improved by enthusiasts over a decade ago.

Both APS and ZF have released versions of the RM055, but neither has produced the grey ceramic version yet.

ZF recently announced that they will release this grey model, though it’s not available at the moment. The current grey ceramic RM055 was not made by APS or ZF—it’s a high-end custom build, created with all details cloned 1:1 from the original and equipped with a "Vaucher" movement.

I’m not entirely sure about the Vaucher movement. Is it a genuine Swiss movement, or just a high-quality Chinese copy? Many reviewers claim that Richard Mille replicas with the Vaucher movement are the best in the industry.

This custom grey RM055 weighs 74 grams, and while APS and ZF both use the clone RMUL2 movement in their versions of the RM055, it raises the question—is the Vaucher truly superior to the RMUL2 clone?

Visually, the grey RM055 looks excellent, but it comes with a high price tag. That said, once ZF releases their version, it could be a worthwhile alternative.

ZF has recently improved the finishing of the movement frame visible through the dial, making their RMUL2 clone appear even more authentic.

There’s growing interest among watch enthusiasts in these high-end, custom-made Richard Mille replicas. If the movement proves reliable over time, these watches could definitely be worth considering.
