Trying one on sealed the deal for me -- there is no watch I've experienced that wears so effortlessly, despite its size.

Anyway, here's my contribution to the thread (my RM10):
Hi Tuonor! Thanks for sharing your RM010 That's a nice piece

If I could take the thread in a more practical direction, which Richard Mille's are available at a lower cost? If the depreciation on the <$250k models is substantial, what models is it possible to find used at a good value -- and from what sources? I see a lot of discussion of Richard Mille watches, but never see them for sale.

Update: after some quick research, it looks like the RM 010 in Titanium with rubber strap is a popular model.
Richard Mille are rare watches and many are probably bought by rich people who perhaps don't care too much about resale value and instead keep them in their collection for many, many years. I frequent a lot of forums online and rarely see them on the second hand market. If they pop up, it's of course way below retail. There was one for sale at an auction house in Stockholm not too long and the price was just above $20k (RM010 in titanium if memory serves me right). Keep looking and you will find!
