Summary of Key Points about the Modified Richard Mille RM35-03 (Upgraded Case, Parmigiani Movement)
Based on the latest video transcript (focusing on the Richard Mille RM35-03 with an upgraded case and Parmigiani movement), here are the essential features of this top‑tier modified watch.
1. Model & Upgraded Case
- Model: Richard Mille RM35-03 – white carbon (upgraded version)
- Previous case issue: The black pattern was incorrect; the real pattern should be deeper, with stronger luster and texture under light.
- Upgraded case: Carbon fiber pattern and texture are now closer to the original – black lines deeper, luster and texture stronger.
- Available colors: black, white, blue, plus new baby blue and yellow salmon (launching this month).
2. Movement – Parmigiani Caliber (Only One with All Functions)
- Currently on the market, only one movement can perform all RM35‑03 functions – the Parmigiani caliber (modified and upgraded).
- The crown is fixed – cannot be pulled. Adjusted by gears.
3. Three‑Speed Adjustment (Upper Right Button)
- Press once → N gear (neutral – crown turns with no response)
- Press again → H gear (time setting – hacking active, seconds hand stops)
- Press again → W gear (winding)
- Sequence: W → N → H → back to W (cycling)
- W gear (winding): Wind watch → two real, movable double spring barrels at 10 & 12 move; when wound enough, balance wheel at 5 rotates, seconds hand moves.
- N gear (neutral): Crown turns with no response – recommended to leave in N after setting time.
- H gear (time setting): Hacking function – seconds hand stops; time can be adjusted.
4. Butterfly Escapement Control (6 o’clock, Lower Right Button)
- OFF & N gears – control the butterfly escapement on the back (opening/closing).
- Press sport button → butterfly separates (OFF) → watch becomes manual winding.
- Press again → butterfly closes (N) → watch becomes automatic winding.
- This open/close function allows changing winding efficiency according to wrist movement – a patented RM innovation.
5. Movement Finishing
- Spring barrel brushing, sandblasting, gear structure – completely unified with the original.
- Back: Free‑sprung structure with internal counterweights – also completely unified.
6. Value Proposition
- Genuine secondary market price: up to 4 million yuan.
- Modified version costs less than one‑tenth of that price.
- Achieves the same effect as the original (appearance, skeletonization, functions).
- Note: Before wearing, you must be able to “carry it off” (social presence).
7. Current Pricing
- The price of the RM35‑03 has been slightly adjusted downward – more favorable than before. Now is a “very, very suitable” time to buy.

Concluding Comment
This video highlights an upgraded version of the Richard Mille RM35‑03 white carbon – with a case that now features deeper black lines and stronger luster/texture, addressing customer feedback. The watch is powered by a Parmigiani Fleurier caliber, which is currently the only movement that can deliver all RM35‑03 functions: the 3‑speed crown adjustment (W/N/H) with hacking, and the butterfly escapement that opens/closes (switching between manual and automatic winding) via the lower right button. The movement finishing (brushing, sandblasting, gear structure, free‑sprung counterweights) is completely unified with the original. The genuine secondary market price reaches 4 million yuan; this modified version costs less than one‑tenth of that. New colors (baby blue, yellow salmon) are coming soon, and current pricing has been adjusted downward – making it a good time to buy.
Strengths:
- Upgraded case – correct carbon pattern, deeper black lines, strong luster.
- Parmigiani movement – the only movement with full RM35‑03 functionality.
- Full functions demonstrated – 3‑speed adjustment, hacking, butterfly rotor open/close.
- High finishing – brushing, sandblasting, free‑sprung counterweights.
- Excellent value – less than 1/10th of the 4 million yuan genuine.
Final verdict: The upgraded RM35‑03 white carbon (and the upcoming baby blue/salmon colors) represents the current pinnacle of RM35‑03 modification – a watch that combines a genuine‑spec carbon case, a Parmigiani movement with all unique functions, and meticulous finishing. For collectors with the budget and the social presence to wear it, this is the definitive RM35‑03 replica. As always, independent verification of the movement (genuine Parmigiani) is recommended. Bozwatch’s honest feedback on the case upgrade and the timing (prices down) adds practical value. This is the “spend less, get the full RM35‑03 experience” proposition at its best.
Hello everyone, this is Bozwatch Reviews.
Every watch is a work of art, a testament to time, and I am a fanatic of them. I also hope that all watch enthusiasts can avoid pitfalls and find their own “Bole” (discerning patron).
Today, I will share with you again the Richard Mille RM35-03 modified watch. For the RM35-03, many customers report various problems. The purpose of making these modified custom watches is to be as close to the original as possible, so that you won’t feel embarrassed when wearing it.
So today, this watch has an upgraded case. The carbon fiber pattern and texture are now closer to the original. The one on the left is the previous RM35-03 white carbon case. Some customers pointed out that the black pattern was incorrect – the real pattern should be deeper, and under light, the luster and texture should be stronger. This upgraded version is more faithful to the original.
Through customization and upgrade, we restore every aspect – the appearance, the movement, the skeletonization level, and all functions. After this upgrade, the watch’s appearance is much closer to the original.
For the RM35-03, there are actually many colors – black, white, blue, and the new baby blue and yellow salmon. These two new colors will also be launched this month. When they are released, Bozwatch will film corresponding videos to explain them.
Let’s review the watch. For the RM35-03, its movement is modified and upgraded with a Parmigiani caliber. Currently on the market, for the RM35-03, there is only one movement that can perform all the functions.
So what functions does it have?
For the RM35-03, the crown is fixed – no matter how you pull, it won’t respond. It cannot be pulled out. It is adjusted by gears. The upper right button is for shifting gears.
- Press once – it pops to N gear.
- Press again – it pops to H gear.
- Press again – it pops to W gear.
Three gears to switch, for winding and time adjustment.
When in W gear, we wind the watch. You can clearly see at 10 o’clock that the two spring barrels are real and movable. See? When wound enough, the balance wheel at 5 o’clock starts to rotate.
Press the gear button to switch to N gear – neutral, just like a car’s neutral gear. Now if you turn the crown, nothing happens. After we set the time, we recommend staying in N gear.
Press again to adjust to H gear. In H gear, you can see that the seconds hand does not move – that’s the hacking function. Now you can adjust the time. This is the true three‑speed adjustment.
When we have set the time, press again – it pops back to W gear, and the seconds hand starts moving again. This adjustment method is different from previous models – this is the first three‑speed adjustment.
At 6 o’clock, there are OFF and N gears. These control the butterfly escapement on the back – opening and closing. When we press the sport button in the lower right corner, the butterfly escapement separates – it pops to OFF. When separated, your watch becomes a manual winding movement.
Before we play with this product, we must first understand what the original has. After we understand it clearly, if your friends ask you questions, you’ll at least be able to answer.
Press again – it closes. Now it pops back to N gear – the rotor is closed. This open/close function means you can change the winding efficiency according to your needs. When closed, the watch becomes an automatic winding movement. When separated, it becomes a manual winding movement.
For this kind of watch, the polishing of the movement inside is very, very important. I often show detailed movement shots so everyone can see what level a truly good modified RM can reach. Whether it’s the spring barrel brushing, sandblasting, or gear structure – everything is completely unified with the original.
Including the back – the free‑sprung structure and the internal counterweights – all completely unified with the original.
In fact, for this kind of modified custom Richard Mille watch, the genuine secondary market price can reach 4 million yuan. But through our modification and customization, you only need to spend less than one‑tenth of that price to wear it and achieve the same effect as the original. Of course, before you wear this watch, you must be able to carry it off.
This is the new upgraded version of the RM35-03 – the ultimate version. Currently, the price of the RM35-03 has been slightly adjusted downward – it’s more favorable than before. At this time, buying this watch is actually very, very suitable.
This is the RM35-03 – modified and upgraded with a powerful Parmigiani movement – a complete watch.
