Congrats on the Milestone Paul. Lovely RM 11-03. Keep it up and join the 20k club soon. So do you still wear other brands or you are now exclusively RM?

I better get out of this thread. It's too dangerous...

Cheers Ben. I've tried it all yet nothing gets me going like RM and for me it's the perfect watch and brand for my lifestyle.

I gave up on owning watches just to own them, so no need to venture out much any more.

Not saying things won't pop in and out, but RM is the one.

Speaking of...I have two months to get you to buy something. Let's get going so I don't lose my bet with you

Incoming!

My first RM. Was debating between the 35-02 and this. Love the way the dial pops irl. Pics do not do it justice at all. Big thanks to Paul for the enabling and advice along the way.

Size for me is perfect. I don't have big wrists and the fit is just right. I find that the RM011 wears smaller than my old ROO 44mm (which I could never get to fit. My only critique is that the deployant clasp is a little uncomfortable at times, but I'll put a tang buckle on it so it's no big deal.

Alright !!!! Huge congrats on the new RM and you are going to love it!

It looks fantastic on your wrist.

On deployment you may want to loosen one hole and fit perfect. Also remember you can get kevlar straps for 011 that are fun and very comfortable.

Enjoy the beauty and that was the perfect choice indeed

Thanks for the feedback, I'll need to wait anyway so that may not be a bad thing
