New Nadal Americas limited.... I prefer NTPT version... it's time of Roland Garros they should make some brown ceramic model with yellow details...

Don't know what they have done with 27-02... it's coming in a few days...

texex91 · 23 May 2015, 06:07 AM

Yep 27-02 I think is Monday release...

Now carry on and feel free to what whatever you like--it's a public forum. As for the bracelet, I hate the way it looks no matter the price. But then again I own a RM011 and find the rubber strap and clasp the best made for any sports watch (AP rubber with tang buckle is a close second).

I will tell you out of any watch I've owned (and that is one or two) the RM keeps the most accurate time, is the most comfortable (hands down), gets more compliments and overall has the best wrist presence. Period. And those are the FACTS as I see them at least.

Looks like their 'marketing machine' has worked

Now this is more civilised.

And there is Nadal 27-02... honestly I love more the aesthetics and movement of 27-01...

conkers · 24 May 2015, 03:45 AM

Oh dear oh dear not a fan at all of the 27 02 but I will take that salmon 5004 PP if it is available!

Patek is too small in size and 'traditional'--give me the RM

boursachi · 24 May 2015, 11:58 PM

is this the best thread on the internet? i feel like i've just found the brotherhood

my contribution with 11ti on yellow strap, one in sunlight and one with flash to showcase the depth of the dial because as you gentlemen know: pictures do not do these pieces any justice

closing in on a year with this piece, and as texex91 says, it has easily been my favourite watch since i got into this hobby and has seen the most continued wrist time.
great to see my friends Roger and Heru again as well!

Repost the images--they are not showing

boursachi · 25 May 2015, 12:38 AM

sorry! hope they do now

What is amazing about RM is that after 50+ limited editions of 011 Ti model is still fresh.

Because it's one of the best watches in the world, IMHO of course. I cannot get tired of looking at those great pics.

Completely agree 011 is the staple for RM and NEVER gets old...just better

Usually when I see the 011 on pics can't say I like it much but on this second pic it looks awesome with the depth of the dial… As time goes by I like RM more and more, which is good as often when you like something when you see it you get bored quickly, whereas when it takes you a long time to like it the love usually stays, not on my radar for the moment as it's a little out of my financial reach but one day who knows, I guess the hardest part, after having the cash for one, is choosing the right model, so many to choose from

Well I would gladly take both

edo · 25 May 2015, 07:13 AM

I missed this one in my database... 011 Korea edition...

conkers · 25 May 2015, 08:46 AM

Welcome back Ali. Don't be a stranger.

lapince · 25 May 2015, 08:50 AM

How many editions of the 011 did they make? When I look on the web there are countless ones… The Korea edition is very cool, I like the blue but would prefer a black strap...

juanwinston · 25 May 2015, 02:46 PM

Hi everybody. Sorry if this is the wrong room to post this but since this is the most active rm room i guess this is the best place to ask. Is this a real rm or not? Thanks for the kind answer

I have 55 models in my 011 database (without jeweler models with diamonds)...

The pic is blurry but it looks cheap. Also, as I know Brasil DLC and Texas Carbon are only black/yellow 011s and none of them have red date window...

Hi Edo thanks for the reply. What do you think about the 2 bottom screws? from what i compare to the pics here they seems a bit odd to me.

Too blurry to see detail on screws, but tachy is definitely too wide...

I meant the distance between the two screws are too narrow whereas in other pics they are a bit further apart

There is updated Nadal watches graphics.

Looks fake to me (yellow is too faded) and just 'looks' fake

55???? Man that's a lot to choose from, it's incredible how in about 6 months a watch that I couldn't even imagine wearing if I was offered it, well apart the skull, Nadal, Watson and a few others, has gotten to me so much, even until a few days I didn't like the 011, but a member posted a pic of his where you see the depth of the dial and I must say it is amazing.

One thing though, when I look at C24 there seems to be 2 different movements, the usual one and one with GMT, is that correct or did they make a mistake?

For me the best I've seen is the Argentina model which I put a pic of here, love the black with blue, looks awesome, not sure if I could if I would get this one or a Watson or Nadal, maybe a W or N as they seem to wear and to be smaller than the 011.

Like an idiot I was so happy with my 5712 I thought I would never NEED/WANT another one, that if I got one it would really be to have a second one but that I could very well live without one, now I know that one day I will want to have one, was setting my sights on a Datograph 39mm, still would like one, but I think a RM has taken the first place in the wish list, followed by the Dato, the AP ceramic diver, and a 5711 blue dial, but that for the moment is in my dreams, might be possible when my kid leaves home, ok he's 6 so basically 18 years to wait if he goes to university

Anyone looking to adopt a kid? He speaks french, understands and speaks some russian and a little english?

The RM-011s, standard or LE, are all chronograph and annual calendars. The RM-011-02 is a different model based off of the 11 that also includes the GMT function
