I was in Beverly Hills last night for dinner at the usual place (il pastio) and I spied a 35-01 in public for the first time ever yesterday on a strangers wrist, then he went to sit down at his table with others he was with, and ALL of them were wearing RM's!! I was having a nerd moment and wanted to inquire with them all about their watches, but I felt it would have been inappropriate at dinner! My fiancé told me not everyone is super obsessed with watches and would think it's weird to talk watches at dinner with a random stranger.

Ha- we were there a few weekends ago and had dinner there. Didn't see any RMs, but everyone sure had a Rolex on!

Food was pretty good too!

It's not a thin dress watch for sure - pure sports (although it looks pretty awesome under a sports coat or suit sleeve IMHO).

So comfortable in Ti and don't even notice wearing it. Yes, it has the RM wrist presence that 011 is known for and that is a very good thing.

Happy Sunday morning...

I know you are not a 010 guy, but what do you think about redesign of the 10?

Can we get a 10-01 in upcoming years?...

Maybe updated case, a little more skeletonisation, change the date position...

I think you're going to see several redesigns/case material changes on older versions in the coming years, just like you did on 67.

It's a smart move and will keep pipe full for RM at multiple price points.

Considering my first Richard Mille in near term(3/4mths)

Hi All RM owners/potential owners,

Currently I am reading and understanding more on the RM brand, preparing to getting my very first RM in the next few months.

Some info on my current watches:
AP Ceramic 44mm grey dial
IWC Ceramic Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar
PP5980/1A
PP5960/1A

I've kind of narrowed down few options and would like to any possible advice from RM owners or potential owners to help me in making a clearer choice:

1) Titanium RM 011 (In almost new if not new old stock)
2) Titanium RM 011-3 (New)
3) Black NPNT RM 035-01 (In almost new if not new old stock)
4) Black NPNT RM 035-02 (New)

Also if it would affect thoughts, I would likely need to sell off my IWC and PP 5960/1A shortly after getting the RM.

Any suggestion or thoughts welcome :)

Lastly, does any one know the retail price of RM011-03 and RM035-02 in London and Paris? (PM appreciated if not convenient to reveal here)

Thanks in advance for any inputs

Cheers

Owned them all and all good choices. Don't know what specific advice you are looking for exactly. Go try them on and buy what sings to you.

Quick comment between 011-01 and -03 I like the new case design of 03. Between 035-01 and -02 I prefer auto and case. Again my opinion and others might feel different. Just need to decide what is important to you.

If I were new and looking those are the four I'd consider.

Hard part will be finding them to try. Enjoy the hunt and I don't know European pricing.

Thank you for the valuable views and comments
I tend to lean towards the 011/011-03 more.

If anyone knows the Paris/London boutique prices for the models will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I'm not entirely sure on pricing but the Singapore RM boutique might still have the 11-03 in stock as I was offered one a couple of weeks ago.
