Lol.

I’ve actually never heard of one fitting. Was trying to be nice.

I’m pretty sure boutiques are no longer allowed to distribute them (and also require a serial number) every time you change straps.

Thanks all - kinda figured the ones I see on e-bay are junk, prompting the question if any other ideas. I'd asked at boutique but couldn't source one at the time. Going to give it another shot.

Follow up to the above - have confirmed that the boutique does not sell or give out the screwdriver.

Wait a minute, they no longer make it easy for us to change straps without going into the boutique?

What happens if you live 500+ miles away from one? :(

I really, really hate to say this... I don't like the new 72-01 line. :(

I want to like it so badly. I really do. (Especially given that it's an in-house movement, and I love RM in general.)

Am I alone on this boat?

Not that it even matters, but the pricing is also ridiculous imo.

In my own opinion, does not like the new RM chrono as well.
Not feeling the attraction on this unique layout on the sub dials and those 2 tone models.
Full gold or full ceramic much better but still....

Oh, I must've missed it. What's the pricing for Ti pegged at initially?

You can assume it'll come in all the lovely case flavors that the 11-03 came in... eventually, over the years.

Ah, I see now. $188k for Titanium.

Interesting. That puts it in the realm of Black|Red TPT 11-03's.

Wow.

Needs a new strap otherwise I think it looks great! Finally something a bit slimmer than the 11-03
