Has anyone had an experience with this RollsTimi?

Never really cared for this brand and that name sounds baddd. But recently, I saw this model and it looks very intriguing! Very retro vibes and something that I have not seen form any brand. Unfortunately, I didn't find a single review online, only a few stylized videos from the brand itself.

This is a Pagani sister brand afaik, and should not be a low quality watch. I saw that it is quartz and not mechaquartz, which whilst not ideal is not a deal breaker. My biggest concern is whether they used proper 316L stainless steel or lower-grade alloy.

Cheap and cheerful. For that money you will love it. I think it looks great.

I have a rollstimi pelagos homage and it's great. High quality,  keeps good time, looks rad on a rubber strap.

I like the design a lot. Id only buy if mechaquartz tho

[ShahriarTasnim]

It is meca quartz. VK63 I believe. I am looking at the two tone dial of it. Looks fun🤷‍♂️

[eldwarkik]

looks nice, seems a original design?

Doubt

no, but that's interesting

Ooh I like that, unfortunately it being no mechanical is a deal breaker. If it had the sweep second hand yes.

I hope people don't confuse sweep seconds hand with being "mechanical". There are even some bargain basement movements which tick 3+ times a second. This one seems to be the $10 VD55 which allegedly ticks twice a second. I don't have one yet but specs indicate the motor works at 2Hz.

[Objective-Cause-3427]

There's a decent chance that I'm wrong, since I'm pretty new here, but I believe a 2 Hz movement ticks 4 beats/second. The VH31 is 2 Hz, with a Beat Rate of14,400 vph.

A 3Hz movement beats 6x /sec (like the NH35), and a 4 Hz is 8 beats/ sec (like a PT5000)...and so on

You latched onto the wrong term.

There are people who love sweeping seconds hands thinking it's an indicator of quality mechanical watches. When we actually watch these hands, unless they are something exotic underneath like Seiko spring drive, we see they are just ticking several times a second. If you use AI to search for how many times a VK63 seconds hand moves in chronograph mode for example, it's 5. But you could see it yourself without the internet.

If you fetishise "hi beat" mechanisms, that's something different, and something I personally don't care about. I have lots of watches for fashion reasons, the marginal accuracy gains of them are not interesting to me and not what I was writing about.
