I like it!

HOWEVER, RM needs to START delivering pieces and quit intro'ing new ones until they can stock the back order demand.

Starting to really pi$$ me off.

Ok, off soap box.

Paul, the Chase for a particular RM is part of the thrill. They are the masters of exclusivity, which means super hard to get and next to impossible to get.

URL got my hopes up. Thought there was a possibility for a second that there was an affordable Quartz RM for the average Joe!

I don't think they'll be making any Ghiblis any time soon! Which is probably good for the brand's health.

I think red quartz will look amazing live... I watch all tennis tournaments and quartz Nadal looks amazing in real life... but love to see this material on less complicated model than 011... still think titanium is the right and best material for 011...

And still can't believe that company of RM reputation and exclusivity came with this new first seen material and they introduce the watch with press pics that looks like job of some teenager after few hours playing in Adobe programs ...

This is hands down my favorite RM 11 ever!! That red looks sick with NTPT case.

Yeah, I'm entirely enamored. What're we guessing the price will be for an LE of 50? 180k or more? I'm assuming there's no gold on the side.

Found a great video to keep the hunt going for your Roger. Some very interesting points he made.

Speaking of white 011 White Ghost is still my favorite...

Prefer White Demon and the Asia limited with blue details more than this two new variations...

A friend was told by the London boutique that the Lotus is being discontinued. I'd be a very happy camper if true.

Wouldn't surprise me since Romain Grosjean is headed to Haas F1 team next year and won't be driving for Lotus.

Have a feeling RM is closing that inventory.

That's the challenge when they tie a watch to the TEAM and the DRIVER. When driver leaves, watch isn't as sellable (new).

Where as the Massa is just tied to the driver (NOT a team affiliation--such as Lotus) so doesn't matter if Massa leaves current team or even retires, it's about the driver not the team. Same with a Schumi in AP.

Here is a much better one. It will take a little adjustment from the size of my 11s and my 39 but it is actually a really a decent sized watch that is incredibly comfortable on the wrist. I may get a rubber strap for it though.

He has several I believe; this looks like one of the DLC or Carbon 11s.

Congrats again Roger...and agree that a rubber strap would look (and probably feel) much better

Agree with Roger, looks like an 011 of some flavor.

I have asked for a custom colour, let's see what they say. Failing that black.

Yes Maryin wears RM so does Will Buxton

They both wore RM at every Grand Prix last year , not so much this year for some reason

RM EMEA shared press pics of Geneva 15 pieces limited 011. We shared wristshots of this model month ago here on TRF
