Haha thank you in advance! Dreaming of a RM011 but as an entry level piece that is of course pretty tough. Drooling over your pieces!

WOW, Really didn't have the same expectations at your age but that's cool, would've loved to have a super watch at your age, not even talking about a RM, good luck on your future purchase

Didn't come from high means, but I've worked since I was 14 and am now working 70% alongside my degree and hope I will have the willpower to save and complete my goal! Look forward to sharing a incoming with you all in the future!

I also must say that it's one of the watches I receive the most compliments on when I wear it...

I’d have thought repaying any student loans/debt or deposit on a house, would be a higher priority rather than spending on a very expensive luxury item?

I was more focused on drinking my own body weight in beer at University rather than thinking about watches.

Come on John...pics of the latest addition that arrived yesterday (he sent me wrist shots--it's a beauty)!

It's going to be the ideal compliment that 011

Don't have any student loans and I've already bought an apartment, and of course I save money towards my regular savings every month as well, more than I save for watches.

Whooha!!!! - I guessed right, big congrats. That's the two RM's I would have chosen - you have plenty bases covered with those two beauties 👍
Please keep the pics coming.

The lady pink sapphire is possible the best looking lady's watch I've ever seen.

Thanks for updates edo. Have a feeling both of those will sell well to particular audiences.

Of course... I think they have already consumers and sell in advance at least 60% of these extravagant 5-10 limited models...

The RM guys are certainly introducing lots of LE pieces. The ladies piece looks very nice👍
