Massive Congratulations on this stunning RM

Cannot be more right on the timing to collect her on a eve of Christmas!!

IMHO RM does indeed feel very very special when you put it on the wrist and actually wearing it.

Enjoy I good health

Cheers

Hi guys, just moved to RM with a RM010. Also got my compliance check done by RM and am waiting if they can get me an RM76-01 in Titanium.

I am in Europe - any idea on a) if it is a "good buy" and possible waiting time? The SA was nice and I like it as I have a thin wrist so it will not look as big and loud as the RM010.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Also how does the RM030 compare size-wise to the RM010?

Thank you so much guys! Two weeks in so far and don't see the honeymoon ending any time soon. I fear I don't have the lingual skills to describe just how insanely fantastic this thing is.

I've had the fortune of trying on various 11's etc and the fit is definitely improved for me with this new 72-01 case. Super comfortable.

Congrats Eric, could not have gone to a better person! I particularly like this photo as it takes up my entire screen haha. Hope to join you in rm72 land with the ti version one day. Cheers my good man, can't wait to see it in person!

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I visited the Geneva Boutique yesterday and had an extremely disappointing experience. After seeing quite a few posts where people got an RM 67-01 or even a RM 67-02 as a first piece, I decided to try my luck.

While chatting with the sales person, I tried to strike up a conversation about the watch but they were only really interested in trying to sell me a RM63-01. I tried to explain to them that my budget was about CHF 250‘000.00, but they insisted that the only watches I could try to order right now were either a 67-01 with diamonds or a RM63-01.

While I really wanted to go for the 72-01 just like an other member here that posted it as his first, I couldn‘t even try and express interest for the 67-01 in titanium without diamonds. I left extremely disappointed and kinda making peace with the thought of ever owning an RM. I don‘t have the funds to buy CHF 500‘000.00 in watches I neither like nor want to get a chance to buy one I want.

Anyone with similar experiences or maybe even a tip on turning the situation around?

5Zigen · 10 January 2022, 06:37 AM

I am looking at a RM030 Ti or RG as my first foray into the RM brand and running into the same situation. Visited my local boutique and had a very nice chat but it’s either buy a non popular piece or diamond version.

Doesn’t surprise me though as its not much different than trying to acquire a sports PP/AP etc with no prior relation.

sokoloka · 10 January 2022, 12:39 PM

You boys are going to get tired of all my 72-01 pics LOL.

Rm030 is a tough one. I was told that once the watch makers atelier opens again, it would be likely that they discontinue that model. I still was kinda disappointed, as I wasn't even able to put my name on the list for a RM 72-01 and hope for a lucky punch.

When I couldn't afford watches 5 years ago no one wanted them and now that I can, no one sells them to me. Time to look for a new hobby I suppose :(

7sins · 11 January 2022, 03:12 PM

^^Has anyone else heard the rm030 being discontinued as well??

I’d actually been told the same thing, even as an established client (but no heavy hitter by any means). They want to push an RM 028 on me, which I actually like, but timing was wrong…and I realized I wouldn’t wear that extensive a watch often enough to justify its current price point.

Yeah it is what it is, I'm going to spend my money elsewhere.

A Rm030 and 72 walk into a bar...with incredibly awful stripclubesque red lighting. HOOKED on the 72, hoping to get one in Ti soon, it really is the perfect size.
