Yes, Paul, back in the RM frame, just got RM011 White Gold and a very special one arrives on 6th October. Very excited. Selling my RMs in the past a big mistake.

Details kept air tight as usual. But it is lined up for 2015. Patiently waiting for its unveiling.

There are a couple of invitation only, but I don't have the power to invite sadly. Otherwise, Purists has an RM section.

in a nutshell because I missed them, in particular the 11 is the best fitting and most comfortable watch I have ever owned. A couple of breakdowns (a 28 and a 30) plus some very poor treatment from a big dealer caused me to lose my RM mojo temporarily. I remain of the view that people don't understand and bond with an RM until they have owned one. Merely trying it in a shop doesn't work. The quality, finishing, materials and design are all exemplary in my view. Of course there will be naysayers and people who don't like them, which is also fine!

Sorry for thread hijack, but it was Paul's fault!

This is double Schumi and RM thread :)

Only thing I pray for is healthy Michael at the presentation in 2015.

And I wondered on which forums all RM owners hide. :) There is a lot of RM gang on instagram, but Instagram posts lack quality discussion...

Hey don't come on here teasing me with an RM11, I will hijack any thread to talk about that one

As for Schumi Tourb, that's great but will not be affordable to most. I wish they would come out with a WG or Ceramic Schumi to keep the collection going. The design of Schumi was super popular and think having another run of different material cases would be smart.

If the news is solid, I'm eagerly waiting for the unveiling.


Anyway, I'm with most of the rest, but should I say that the price is EXTREMELY STEEP? (Wish me luck guys, I'm hoping some AP reps would see this and lower the price of this piece.)
