Congrats on getting the beast back!

Was this the 1/1?

aspen has a 35-01 and two 67s. also a pair of 11s and a pair of 35-02s. cool guy working there, said they move pieces... moved two 55s in the last month

jschmidtdmd · 6 January 2017, 05:23 AM

^ they have had the 35-01 for a bit.

Yep most Boutiques have watches...it's their pricing that is not great

oler · 6 January 2017, 07:38 AM

Found a boutique with a RM 055 with black bezel and caseback, with white 'sides'. Haven't seen it in the flesh so tough to get my head around how it will look. Anyone familiar with that particular model? I was hoping to find all black or grey

Edit: guess it'll be this http://www.celebritystyle.com.hk/ima...Dn-700x700.jpg

Probably some HK LE piece--I have not seen before.

I'd stick to black first then grey...both are nice tough

conkers · 6 January 2017, 10:23 AM

Thank you everyone. Yes that is my only RM currently. Been selling a lot of pieces recently. This one is not the 1/1 I had. That was the black and red Marcus edition 28.

I am a fan of the grey!

I haven't seen that black/white combo before!

You and I both know that this pricing is going to become the standard!

Rephrase: "It's not the pricing we want"

conkers · 6 January 2017, 10:34 AM

Discounts at ADs in Asia are tightening already.

jschmidtdmd · 6 January 2017, 10:48 AM

^ It's happening here too Roger. I hate to say it, but 10-15% is gonna become the standard IMO

Knowing and bitching are two different things...I'm a hold out

metdrdg · 7 January 2017, 10:37 AM

Looking for advice from the RM gurus here. I was at the boutique today and tried on a 35 - loved it but way too big for my wrist unfortunately. I tried on a 29 which fit much better but I didn't like the look as much. He showed me the 67 in the catalogue which seemed to be the best one, but it sounds like those may be hard to come by. My question for those familiar with RM do you know of older models that fit similar to these models? For example a 5 or 10?

jschmidtdmd · 7 January 2017, 10:48 AM

^ gotta buy them right, as they are not as desirable

Personally I would just pass on the brand if you're considering 29, 5 or 10.

If 035 is too big, RM is probably not for you (size wise)...IMHO.

Marciano490 · 7 January 2017, 11:41 AM

From a financial perspective, that's right - if you prefer the aesthetics of a 29, 5 or 10 and don't mind losing a bit on resale, go for it. And, with the brand the way it is now, you might not lose! Hell, I was offered a 10 at 38k about 5 years ago. Now I think they're in the high 40s or low 50s.

Times have changed

Where are the people 3 years ago that were saying RM would be dead

Still saying it... like the people calling for earthquakes or market crashes. They're always right... eventually.
