Why the rubber strap looks so crispy and thin? Is this a new rubber strap from RM? Am I missing out on something?

Cool!

My guess is those strings are poly, maybe RPM, and not gut?

Wow, that is really cool!
Love the strings, diagonal movement orientation, linear movement structure

Wonder how often it needs to be restrung
I use RPM main strings, gut cross--my elbow can't handle full poly
But poly loses tension pretty quickly...
Not sure my stringer has a machine small enough to restring this watch. Haha

I guarantee the time it takes to be re-strung is much longer than any generic tennis racket.

I have to admit, I prefer the previous Nadal's over this one.

For some reason, the grid pattern of the wiring (the "dial") is too trippy for me.

I enjoyed the suspension wires from the earlier variant(s).

Hi guys sorry for being late to the RM party, better late than never. Looking to buy my first RM in the next 12-24 months. My body is ready.

Is there a database or website that displays a reliable list of RRP for their current models?

Also: if anyone can recommend 3-5 base models or entry models, it would be appreciated!
I know my budget is limited so i am currently working towards acquiring some of the entry models such as RM67-1, RM005 (will need to find preowned), RM030 and RM029 (probably Ti as they seem to be more affordable)

29 and 67-01

I was given the choice for rm30 or 67-02. I went 30 first, hoping for a slightly better shot at the white 6702.

there are order windows for the 30 so start reaching out to the boutiques.

skip the rm005, that is what I started with and it wore VERY small, better off with the rm010/rm029 for a bigger size - I would get the rm030 over both.

Yeah.. 005 is same size as 002 and 003 which are classic RMs.

I wish there was one.

Unlike other brands (who also don't publish their pricing on their websites) I have not been able to get a price list from anyone. I have to believe one exists, but no one seems to be willing to share it... whereas I've gotten one from many other "uptight" brands.

Your AD will have a price list, I was at a RM AD in Vietnam and he showed me the price list last year. I think someone posted it earlier in this thread as well.

Was the Joker hurt?
0-6 in the first set? So many unforced errors.

Rafa was on a mission, though. Will win more slams.

Funny but he didn't played bad that first set beside first serve at 30%... they played nearly 50 minutes, with two 10 minutes games... Rafa was just unplayable yesterday... something like 3UEs in two sets...

Guys, how difficult is it to get a RM055 at retail? Similar to getting a Daytona steel?...
Waiting list? Application process?
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.
Did not expect that.
Which models are in this situation?
Or is that concerning only the RM055?

Really love the 67-02. Haven't fallen for any of the color options however. One day I like the Qatar, one day the white France.

Any chance a 67-03 is around the corner?
