Well, I have a feeling pricing is reflective. If someone can get a EMEA price list for post, then we could compare. And as to inventory

For those feeling blue...

We've known about the 011-03 (Jean Todt Blue TPT) which I love.
LE 150 pieces:






Here are the other two of the collection.

Jean Todt RM 050 - Split-seconds Chronograph Tourbillon (20 grams) - this one is stunning .
Limited Edition to 5
Cost Approx $1M






Then the grand daddy Jean Todt RM 056 Sapphire
Limited Edition to 3
Cost Approx $1.8M

I realized that reason I didn't like some models was due to different strap/case color when I saw them for the first time...

When they presented 035-02 with red/yellow combination it looked almost gross, but with Paul pics the all red combination is another beautiful RM... same with Last edition, looks excellent with baby blue rubber... all white RMs are best with all white strap...

It's because of the perfect flow of strap into the case...

The other color straps goes best with Ti models IMO...

And there is the first live I saw of new Americas limited 11-02... not as beautiful as Rogers NTPT beast, but great piece for sure...

I found an interesting video on the RM 50-03 McLaren F1 watch.

Apologies if you've already seen it but thought it may be of interest.

I know there was a thread dedicated to this watch but it seemed to be spoilt by a few haters so thought it would be better received here.



(Not sure who to credit, Vimeo?)

I think Richard Mille may have inadvertently let the secret out with this watch that the 2017 McLaren paint job will be returning to orange.

Cars release should be soon...

Yep, the orange strap and crown band change were just a slight giveaway

11-03 blue quartz wont be hitting boutiques till late summer. Looks like RM may be stalling in terms of production for a minute

I heard that several weeks ago (Sept was time frame I heard).

Think they are focusing on production of other pieces and keeping that demand high across board.

Prices high. Demand higher. Supply low. Good for business.

I think RM watches like F1 cars look great from any angle! My dream watch would be a RM McLaren F1!

Hopefully the livery change will return McLaren to the glory days of Prost and Senna!
