RM Titanium

Hi all,

I am finalizing my RM choice and I was curious about the sandblasted titanium. Is that specific to FM models? I am contemplating this RM 005 FM- but I noticed some photos online look more sandblasted than this. Is this polished maybe? Or perhaps I am just overthinking it?

Hmmmm I have 2 titanium RMs and I’m not sure I’d refer to them as sandblasted unless that’s specific to that model?

Thanks for your response. I am not entirely sure, a lot of photos of this specific model show a very dark grainy finish so I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something/the model I am looking at is in good shape before pulling the trigger. See the photo below for what I am referring to, as compared to the previous photos I posted.

Agreed. It’s a brushed finish.
OP not sure what’s up with your photo but def get a video of whatever you’re buying.

The RM005-FM doesn’t have a typical brushed finish in all of the ones I’ve ever seen, it is technically more of a media blasted texture, not brushed like my RM030.
