4. Key Functions – Unique to RM35-03
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 3‑position adjustment (W, N, H) | Located at 1 o’clock (button on upper right corner) – crown is fixed (cannot be pulled out) |
| W gear (winding) | Wind crown → two real, movable double spring barrels at 10 & 12 move; seconds hand moves; escapement at 5 o’clock real and movable; 6 o’clock area hidden and functional |
| N gear (neutral) | Press button once – crown turns with no response |
| H gear (time setting) | Press again – stop‑seconds function; crown adjusts time |
| Return to W gear | Press button again after setting time – seconds hand resumes |
| Butterfly rotor (back) | Opens and closes using the sport button on the lower right corner – press to open, press again to close; breaks traditional fixed rotor design; changes separation/closure based on wrist movement level |
| Free‑sprung (non‑caliber) structure | Balance wheel with counterweights – only appears in genuine watches, but achieved through modification |
5. Case Craftsmanship
- Developed using CNC original data – imported NTPT carbon fiber
- Blue carbon fiber texture under light: very full, very nice
- Caseback texture even clearer; engravings very deep
- Carbon fiber texture and luster match original
6. Overall Quality Statement
- This watch represents the ceiling of modified watches – achieves butterfly rotor function, 3‑level adjustment, same carbon fiber texture, same size and thickness
- Worn without professional testing – will definitely save money; can even show to friends with no problem

Concluding Comment
This video focuses on the Richard Mille RM35-03 blue carbon – a modified watch that, like the white carbon version, uses a genuine Parmigiani Fleurier movement to achieve the unique and complex functions of the RM35-03. Unlike the RM35-02 (which uses a pull‑out crown for winding/time setting), the RM35-03 has a fixed crown and a push‑button mechanism at 1 o’clock to cycle through W (winding), N (neutral), and H (time setting) gears. Additionally, the butterfly rotor on the back opens and closes via a button at the lower right corner – a feature that no clone movement can replicate.
Strengths of the build:
- Genuine Parmigiani movement – the only way to achieve the correct 3‑position adjustment (W/N/H) and butterfly rotor operation. Any cheap watch claiming these functions is a scam.
- NTPT carbon fiber case (blue) – developed from original CNC data, correct texture, very full luster under light, deep caseback engravings. The side white carbon insert adds visual distinction.
- Functions demonstrated clearly – winding in W gear shows real double spring barrels; N gear does nothing; H gear sets time with stop‑seconds; butterfly rotor opens/closes with the lower button; free‑sprung balance with counterweights.
- Crown is fixed – correct for RM35-03 (unlike RM35-02 where you pull the crown). This is an important tell.
- Value proposition – genuine RM35-03 prices are extremely high (upwards of 3‑4 million yuan). This modified watch offers the same look, feel, and functionality for a fraction of the cost.
Final verdict: The modified RM35-03 (blue/black/white carbon) with a genuine Parmigiani Fleurier movement represents the absolute pinnacle of Richard Mille modification. It is the only way to get the correct butterfly rotor and 3‑position crown adjustment outside of a genuine RM35-03. For collectors who want the full functional experience – not just the look – this is the only viable option. Bozwatch’s demonstration of W/N/H gears, the fixed crown, the butterfly rotor operation, and the free‑sprung balance provides a clear, honest guide. The carbon fiber case quality (imported NTPT, deep engravings, strong luster) matches original standards. While the cost is high, it is a fraction of the genuine’s multi‑million‑yuan price. For the right enthusiast with the budget, this modified RM35-03 is a “ceiling” product – a watch that will pass almost any casual inspection and deliver the same mechanical thrill as the original. As always, independent verification of the movement (genuine Parmigiani) is recommended. This is truly a “spend less, achieve more” masterpiece.
Hello everyone, this is Bozwatch.
Every watch is a work of art, a testament to time. I am a big fan of watches, and I hope you all can avoid pitfalls on your watch journey and find your own “Bole” (discerning patron).
I showed you the Richard Mille RM35-03 white carbon modified watch before – I really liked it. Today, I have another RM35-03 to explain to you. This is a blue carbon RM35-03.
Currently, modified RM35-03 watches can be made in blue carbon, black carbon, or white carbon – you can choose according to your preference.
For products like the RM35-03 on the secondary market, their prices are rising. The purpose of this kind of modified watch is to help people save money – to spend less and achieve more. Through modification and customization, you can achieve the same functions as the original and the same movement structure. Without being tested by a professional institution, there will be no flaws at all.
For this blue carbon, its case is developed and made using CNC original data. You can see its blue color and the carbon fiber texture under light – very full and very nice. This case is made of imported NTPT carbon fiber. Its upper and lower covers are made of blue carbon fiber. The texture of the blue carbon fiber on the caseback is even clearer. Look at the engravings on the caseback – they are very deep. The side is inlaid with white carbon fiber, so the appearance is different from the white carbon version.
For this watch, we also use a genuine Parmigiani Fleurier movement for customization.
What functions does it have, compared to the white carbon?
At the 1 o’clock position, there are three time‑adjustment gears: W, N, and H.
The RM35-03’s time adjustment is different from the ordinary RM35-02. With the RM35-02, you pull out the crown to adjust the time, right? With the RM35-03, if you pull the crown, nothing happens – the crown is fixed.
- W position is the winding position. We wind the watch, and you can see the two real, movable double spring barrels at 10 o’clock and 12 o’clock. See? When we wind enough, the seconds hand starts to move. At 5 o’clock, the escapement is real and movable. The 6 o’clock area is also hidden and functional.
- Now we press the button on the upper right corner to adjust. Currently, it’s in N gear (neutral). No matter how we turn the crown, there is no response. See? That’s neutral.
- Press again – H gear is for setting the time. Now you can adjust the time, with a stop‑seconds function – exactly like the original.
After we finish setting the time and want the seconds hand to move again, we press the button once more – it pops back to W gear. This function is completely consistent with the original. That’s the three‑level adjustment function.
Another feature of the RM35-03 is the butterfly rotor on the back – it can separate and close. Using the sport button on the lower right corner, it’s currently open. See? If you want to close it, just press it to turn it off. The butterfly rotor’s open/close function is actually very innovative – it breaks the previous fixed automatic rotor design. Depending on your level of wrist movement, it changes the separation and closure of the rotor. If you want it to open quickly, press again to close – it becomes automatic winding. Look at the movement – the automatic rotor at the back is closed.
The back also has a true free‑sprung (non‑caliber) structure. Around the balance wheel, there are counterweights. This counterweight process only appears in original genuine watches, but through modification and customization, we achieve the same movement structure.
To be honest, this watch’s craftsmanship already represents the ceiling of modified watches. It achieves the butterfly rotor open/close function, the three‑level adjustment function, the same carbon fiber texture, and the same size and thickness. As long as you don’t send it to a professional testing institution and just wear it yourself, it will definitely help you save money. You can even take it off and show it to your friends – no problem at all.
This is a simple watch sharing of the RM35-03 blue carbon NTPT – modified and upgraded with an original Parmigiani movement.
