Congrats! I've been on a similar collecting path but more diverse than digging into one or two brands. I've been keeping on eye on RG and find Insight MR just stunning. Looking forward to your follow-up.

My initial impression of the IMR is positive. It looks very different from my other watches and from that perspective, it gives a fresh vibe. I also love the hand-finishing on this model with the carvings front and back.

The strap is a little stiff but I think it will age well with time. The box is huge haha. There is an owner's manual hand-signed by Romain Gauthier.

For now, I just want to wear it and enjoy it

After sales:
I have been receiving gifts annually from RG for the past 2 years, once before I got the watch and once after. Their service (outside gifts) is excellent and they take great care of their customers. I think I need to reflect their level of service here.

Before watch came (sorry about the state of chocolate, must be due to the long long flight)

Glad you enjoy my journey. The trip at Kobe was almost as good as the watch. Thanks for reading
