Nothing compared to a Patek service

See, like I said Roger, reason enough to buy another RM while waiting for the straps

[lapince]

This is such an awesome piece, too bad they don't make a non tourbillon model, I might try to save enough, but not for me price wise, here are the 2 I prefer in pics, sorry error on the last one but can't take it off...

[conkers]

I might get RM11-02 Rose Gold I think once the prices become a bit more reasonable.

I wouldn't count on that happening anytime soon. RM is cutting AD's and inventory is down and prices up (exactly what they want). Demand is VERY high in US right now and that's a good thing.

With all of that...Roger NEEDS the RG--if for no other reason to enable me

I hear they are also giving their boutiques and Westime first right of refusal on new production. Not good for us or the ADs, great for the brand and Mr. S!

Heard the same. Since Westime is THE distributor for RM in US (and own Vegas 'RM Boutique' and three AD storefronts), they are keeping other AD pipeline skinny...kinda silly, but understand I guess why. When you ask Westime they insist AD's are critical to success. They just chopped three US AD's (but they needed to do this--they were worthless).

They are very strict about their image, my grey dealer friend had one not long ago, he put on chrono 24 pics and 2 were taken from RM site, one hour after putting it on C24 he got a phone call from them saying to take the pics off

[conkers]

Once it becomes too difficult to get the watch you want I just give up. Life is too short and I don't have the time or inclination to chase repeatedly.

I understand and have been there many times. However, I end up with something that really doesn't excite me and I'm back at square one. RM has been difficult lately, but there really is not a lot out there right now singing to me, so a little wait is ok. If I were into dress watches it would open up the selection quite a bit.

For me RM ticks all of the boxes and my priority which is a sports watch.

Look forward to whatever might be next for you Roger

Well I do have something rather special still sealed in my safe............but no incoming thread until it gets opened.........

Well.....get to opening it

Have a feeling if sealed its probably not RM. Patek??

Always fun to keep the suspense and have a toy in the safe.

Very nice and unique

That's for the Tachymeter bezel actually, not number of units made - which is generally printed on the back instead.

I think he was joking.

That 56 is the nicest looking watch I have EVER seen.

056 looks fantastic.

LOVE the Anniversary 011 Massa! I'm going to look into that one (just checked it out not the site) http://www.richardmille.com/watch/rm-011-6/. How many pieces will be released? Wonder what other 'goodies' they have coming for the anniversary!

Pricing???

That new 11 is so cool! They are making 100 pieces and will hit showrooms in July!

AD's as well? Pricing?

Yes ADs, not sure on pricing. Based on similar NTPT models, I'd venture a guess on MSRP of $170k.

Wonder if they are coming out with more 'LE' FM Anniversary 011's later this year?

The only thing I don't like is the numbers are half blue/white--makes it hard(er) to read.

But still looks killer...I know some don't like NTPT--I do

056 pricing is going to be out of control (1000 hours of machining on the case alone--that has Papi written all over it!)...only question is how high in the seven figures are we talking? $1.5M? $2.0M?

Imagine this 056 with blue/violet strap

Agree on blue numbers on 011... on other side good detail on reworked Massa racing number 19 in position of 12 o'clock.. it looks like 19 and 12 at the same time...

[conkers]

Very nice, same about the prices.........

I'd venture 2+, the last two models were 1.95M and 2.02M. And they sold out.

It's very cool but for much less I would much rather get the skull, a Nadal, a wattson tourbillon and a few others, but it's an interesting piece for sure, wonder how much it weighs when it's all crystal like that

Latest RM incoming!
