Not sure about the gray strap. Seems very muted overall to me, but yellow does add a little pop.

One of the nicest RM models I've ever seen! Yellow and grey always works well.

Mille does a world timer, and better than most:

I like it. Would change out strap, but the rest has the wow factor.

Yeah a rubber strap would definitely look much nicer, for me an ultra modern sports watch with that kind of leather or croc strap just doesn't do it, needs to be rubber

Nice but I clearly prefer their rectangular cases to their round ones

I wanted to ask the RM aficionados here what do you guys think of the Nadal pieces? Not talking about the 27 trio which are awesome but cost an arm and one kidney, but the "Baby Nadals", for me they are clearly the best looking RM's out there but here I don't see the subject being brought up, well it was when the 27-02 was released, again stunning piece but so is the price, do you guys like the 37's or not really? I have the impression you prefer much more the others especially the 011's, for me there is no comparison if I had the cash would buy one of the 2, also about the NTPT, has that material withstood the test of time or does it have "issues" like the FC? Thanks in advance for your replies fellows

Lapince you are busy with Odessa real estate right now--keep your eye on that prize. No need to get worked up about an RM at this point. Once you are ready, head out to a large RM Boutique and try them all on...much easier that way (need to see any RM in person to get a full appreciation for the brand).

And yes, 011 would be the 'safe' bet.

Back to RM for a minute, they had a global 'sales meeting' last week in France and hopefully I will get some feedback/gossip from my contact later today. At the very least WHEN some of these new pieces (Midnight Fire, 10th Anniversary) will be hitting US.

Yeah you're right Paul business before pleasure especially there's other things than the flat, a car wash, a small beauty salon and 3 small garages, I sold the 5712 for the flat but invested not long ago in the rest and I will have some work to do when I come back there in 5 days, ukrainian bureaucracy is made to test the outer limits of ones' patience and his ability to resist becoming crazy as hell, I'll have a few weeks of ultra fun there to do all the paper work for these things, better to think watches in 10 months when I'll have the cash for that...

RM just released a new world timer, the RM63-02. I actually really like it but they seem to be releasing a lot of new models recently. . . .

Well releasing and actually producing enough of them for the channel are two different things.

It's been a very frustrating year with RM AD's with little to no inventory (well ok, they are constraining inventory and pushing what they can to boutiques). RM is doing a good job of getting it's secondary brand value up, but it better start pushing some inventory to AD's otherwise people will leave for other brands.

Ok Paul sorry Well there are a few high end watch shops in Odessa but for the really high end brands like Patek for example they order them, they don't have in stock, also the problem there is that you have some normal shops which sell fake watches, it doesn't seem to pose any legal problem there, I guess they have other priorities, anyways it wouldn't be interesting to buy expensive watches there as they have some crazy import taxes in Ukraine, last time I checked, around 9 years ago it was 40%, so you can imagine if you want a RM and it costs 40% more that really sucks, that's why the revolution started, well at least it was the element which started it, the ex president refused to sign a treaty with Europe which would have taken off all import and export duties between Europe and Ukraine...

A 027 will be one of the stars at the next Phillips auction.

Sorry to talk on the lower end guys but what is a better watch, the RM029 oversize date or RM010? There doesn't seem to be much difference in price on the used market. is the 29 based on the same movement as the 10? is case size the same?

First there is no such thing as a 'lower end' RM - they are all rock stars in my book. As to your question, between those two I'd probably go 010, but it's all preference.

The dial on the 029 is not my favorite, but again I would certainly try either watch on in person.

Look forward to an incoming

It does look great but I think it would wear a bit too big on ME. It's 50mm right?!

47mm...think the size is ideal.

And as you know Elliot RM's wear smaller than standard due to curved case back.

Agree Roger...47mm is probably just perfect for an RM round case

This doesn't look as tall as your 039 either.

I have asked for a rubber strap in that blue for my 2. Think it is a really nice colour.

Hmmm, like most RM's, looks different in 'real life' shot. Still love it though and can't wait to see one

The other one intro'd at SIAR 2015 in Mexico City (http://salonaltarelojeria.com/2015/expositores-2015/) is the new 030:
