In fact....
I don't wish to pee on anyones parade, as I have such an RM008 with the newer style case but the cases themselves quite apart from the different angle AND actually different placement of the pushers, don't seem as sturdy or quite as well made as the older versions.

Does anyone have a v2 18k or even plat rm004 / 008 so we can compare???

That Mab's new 004 also has the two piece bit...now I dont really understand, would seem that it isnt necassarily an upgrade if the new watches dont have it..unless it is really only very recent...anyone seen a brand new 004/008?...does it have a one piec...
There are also differences with fonts, dials, and the movement
and escapement layout/cut-away. I prefer the original personally. Nice shots. Andrew H
Indeed there is Andrew...
...but the only time I have seen the one piece bit by the winder is on the one shot in that linked thread. THe point I was trying to make was that it seems all the later ones have all moved font style & power reserve dial to the new look, but still ha...
Ok, I think I have the answer....sort of!
