1. Introduction: The Weight of “Nothing”
In the world of luxury watches, heavy usually means expensive. Richard Mille broke that rule. The genuine RM 67-02 weighs only 32g and costs over $300,000. It is designed to feel like a “Second Skin” for elite athletes.
For years, the Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica market was disappointing. Factories like ZF made decent versions, but they were too thick (9mm+) and too heavy (40g+). They looked like the part, but didn’t feel like it.
AV Factory has changed the game. By customizing an ultra-flat movement and mastering TPT carbon technology, they have released a Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica that is virtually indistinguishable from the genuine in terms of dimensions and wearing experience.
Is this the best Super Clone Watch of 2025? Let’s find out.

2. The Case: High-Tech TPT Construction
Most replicas use standard carbon fiber. AV Factory went deeper into the chemistry to build the ultimate Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica.
The “45 Micron” Science
The case of this Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica is built using Thin Ply Technology (TPT).
- The Process: Hundreds of layers of TPT carbon sheets and Quartz fibers are stacked. Each layer is incredibly thin—only 45 microns.
- The Fusion: These layers are then heated to 120°C and subjected to a pressure of 6 bar. This fuses them into a solid block, which is then CNC machined into the case shape.
- The Look: This process creates random damascene patterns on the case. No two watches are identical. It looks organic, high-tech, and understatedly expensive.
The Colors of Champions: Understanding the Variations
The Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica comes in specific colorways, each representing a national flag. AV Factory has replicated these perfectly using colored Quartz TPT.
- The “Mutaz Barshim” (Qatar): Features a Deep Red / Burgundy case made of Quartz TPT. This is the most striking version. The red resin is impregnated into the silica layers, creating a deep, blood-red texture that changes under sunlight.
- The “Alexander Zverev” (Germany): A mix of Carbon TPT (Black) and Quartz TPT (Red). This version is sportier and more aggressive.
- The Tech: Achieving these bright colors in ceramic/quartz composites is extremely difficult. Cheap replicas paint the surface. AV Factory impregnates the resin before heating, meaning the color goes all the way through the material of the Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica. It will never scratch off.
3. The Dimensions: 7.8mm & 35g
This is the main selling point. If you are shopping for a Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica, you are buying it for the stats.
The 7.8mm Thickness
- ZF Factory: ~9.0mm (Too thick).
- AV Factory: 7.8mm (Spot on).
- Why it matters: This makes the watch slide under any shirt cuff. It sits flush against the wrist, reducing the risk of banging it against door frames. It is the only Automatic Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica on the market that is this thin.
The 35g Weight
- The Feeling: When you pick it up, your brain gets confused. It feels lighter than a plastic Casio, yet it is made of high-grade composites and titanium screws.
- The “Second Skin”: As the marketing says, it feels like a second skin. After 5 minutes, you forget you are wearing a watch. This is the ultimate comfort for sports or daily wear, making this Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica perfect for athletes.
4. The Movement: Custom CRMA7
How did AV Factory achieve the 7.8mm thickness? By shrinking the engine.
The Ultra-Flat Architecture
- Base Spec: The naked movement dimensions are 28.40 x 31.25mm, with a thickness of just 3.60mm.
- Customization: AV Factory customized the bridges and plates to mimic the CRMA7 caliber. The baseplate is skeletonized titanium (grade 5 lookalike), finished with black DLC coating.
- The Rotor: The rotor is made of Carbon TPT and white gold (plated), turning on ceramic ball bearings. It winds efficiently despite being so thin.
Living with the Ultra-Flat Movement: Is it Fragile?
A common fear with ultra-thin movements is fragility. We tested the Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica movement for two weeks.
- Power Reserve: The custom rotor winds efficiently. We clocked a power reserve of approximately 40-42 hours, which is respectable for such a thin mainspring.
- Shock Resistance: The movement is mounted on shock absorbers within the case (just like the Gen). We took it for a run and played a round of golf. The watch kept perfect time.
5. The Strap: Elastic Comfort
The strap is unique to the RM 67-02 model. It does not use a rubber strap or a deployment buckle.
- Seamless Design: It is a continuous loop of elastic fabric.
- Non-Slip: The material is reinforced to grip the wrist gently without being tight. It breathes extremely well, making it perfect for sweating/sports.
- Durability: Unlike previous versions where the branding peeled off, AVF has improved the printing quality on the strap of this Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica.
Strap Comfort Test
- No Buckle Digging: Traditional rubber straps have a metal buckle that digs into your wrist when you type on a laptop or rest your hand on a table. The RM 67-02 strap is seamless. The bottom of your wrist touches only soft fabric.
- Sizing: AV Factory provides the strap in a “Medium” size that fits 90% of wrists (16cm – 19cm) due to its elasticity. It holds the 35g watch head firmly in place without needing to be tight.
6. Comparison: AVF vs. ZF vs. Gen
In the battle for the best Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica, who wins?
ZF Factory (The Old King)
- Pros: Good availability, nice carbon texture.
- Cons: Too heavy (~40g) and Too thick (~9mm). The movement deco plate adds unnecessary bulk.
AV Factory (The New King)
- Pros: Correct 7.8mm thickness. Correct 35g weight. Better strap quality.
- Cons: Movement balance wheel position is slightly different from Gen (a necessary compromise for thinness), but you can’t see it on the wrist.
Macro Analysis: Under the Loupe
When we zoom in 10x on the Richard Mille RM 67-02 Replica, what do we see?
- The Screws: AVF uses Grade 5 Titanium spline screws. The machining is clean, with no stripped heads. They sit flush with the TPT case, creating a smooth profile.
- The Hand Painting: The hour and minute hands are hand-painted in satin-finished colors. Under macro, the paint lines are sharp, with no bleeding onto the luminous material.
- The “Hollow” Lugs: The case features hollowed-out sections to save weight. AVF has finished these inner corners cleanly, avoiding the rough machining marks seen on ZF versions.
The Verdict: AV Factory destroys ZF in the metrics that matter most: Weight and Thickness.
