I particularly LOVE the 016.

I do too- they’ve become increasingly had to get too. I passed on a used example for 45k about a year ago and am still kicking myself for it.

I don't understand why they would wind down the production of the 11-03 because there is still a large demand. The 11-04 is a repackaged Mancini. I like the Mancini but not really a change in the movement. The RM004 was repackaged and they kept the base model number (name) the same.

I will be sad that u get your new watch before I get mine... I don’t expect that to be the case. But if it should be...I will be depressed lol

Let’s be honest. None of us use a chrono lol

watchucallit · 5 January 2020, 12:10 PM

I sometimes use it.. :) and just like it.. and if there is still demand why slow down production. The 11-04 is a chrono too

Not sure if I heard from the SA in the boutique holds any truth, was told the 11-03 movement is too tedious and costly to produce by RM, perhaps from a profit value prospective.

This will take a lot longer than you’re all making it sound. We haven’t even seen the 11-03 Lemans and that was announced when? Almost two years ago?

This isn’t going to happen fast. The brand has become stagnant, we all know that it’s going to take them time to get things back on track.They also need to significantly shorten the time from R&D, announcement, and release.

Truthfully, the brand had too long of a lull about a year and a half ago both in terms of announcement and production. This will artificially support market prices longer than it should in comparison to other brands.

They spent too long to develop the 25-01

And yes- the statement about the 11-03 moment is correct.- hence why we are seeing the entire line being redone.

How easy/hard is it to change the strap on the 11-03? Not sure if I should chance it myself or just pay someone to do it properly lol.

I got a few straps to mix it up a bit, I'm thinking yellow strap for the black watch and black strap for the red one (both are large, the OEM regular straps are a tight on my wrist).

Need the RM screwdriver, it’s fairly easy but beware of scratches and tightening too much as it can strip the screws and then you’re really screwed

Thank you!

I don't have the screwdriver though. What a fail haha.

Guess I'll have to source one or get someone to do it for me. Would rather get the tool so that I can change them as I like.

You can buy the tool on eBay or Amazon. I would put scotch tape over the case that surround the screws to avoid scratching

charge · 14 January 2020, 03:34 PM

How accurate and reliable are you guys finding the movement to be?

Mine are both very good. Don't really lose/gain too much but at the start I had an issue with the watches stopping, needed to wind (I usually don't wind watches, just quick shake and go). If I wind them up, they're good for 2-3 days after that and won't stop if you keep wearing them obviously.

watchucallit · 14 January 2020, 04:12 PM

My 11-02 is about +6-7 seconds per day .. The RM 004 is spot on

I think they just merging the 3 models. But for next year from what I’ve been able to figure out

Ah, so the merging will happen in 2021 not 2020 like I originally thought?

jschmidtdmd · 29 January 2020, 06:48 AM

Well the new price increase was MUCH higher than anticipated. Some pieces almost see a 9% increase.

67-02 145k
RG 30 135k
11-03 NTPT 185k

Yeah, wow. Definitely more than I expected.

Any increase on the 35-02?

I'm surprised they're doing this hefty of an increase when some of these references are expected to end this year following some upcoming launches.
