I’ve been thinking hard about buying a RM for a while and just can’t bring myself to do it. They are not timeless and I fear the RM watches of today will look dated in just a few years...their earlier models look like something Richard Simmons would wear in an 80s jazzercise video. The same way a “hot” BMW M6 in 2008 looked ultra modern, ahead of its time, and on the cusp of technology and performance, now it looks like a dated car and nothing special. This is RM and this is why I will spend my money elsewhere. AP got into the celebrity hype game with named models for pro athletes and celebrities in the offshore line, but AP is more than just the offshore and even though interest by celebrities has waned with AP in recent years, the brand is stronger than ever and crossed the $1b USD threshold last year.
