Beautiful watch indeed, wear it in good health!
Does the hour hand and date move forward and back as you travel through time zones thereby leaving the GMT hand on home time?

Hey Paul, really enjoy your pics for the RM11 RG. Some of the best I have seen. I have yet to see one irl though. How does it compare to your RM11 Ti version?

Ben the case size is the same, the difference is the GMT pusher on left. Also of course the weight is different, but still a perfect balance and not too heavy at all (less than 44mm RG ROO). The dial of course is different and I like the color variation of GMT. The polish on the side is amazing and stands out vs Ti non-GMT.

Super comfortable and very easy to read the dial. All in all with the complications it's taking top spot for me.

Hope that helps

Thanks Paul. Very impressive watch. Please post more pics.

On second thought, I better stay out of this thread. It's very dangerous.

Very Nice! The GMT is balanced as you mentioned and I really like the RG brushed case with the contrasting polished side edges! Just Fantastic!

Congratulation on your successful quest for your RM Grail! Something tells me this will not be your last...

Very observant...the next is already 'ordered' (which in RM terms means almost nothing). However AD said Nov/Dec. The sickness continues

Dinner is on you Bro. You are bound to lose the bet.

I do have something coming up though. Not a new watch, but watch related. So theoretically, I did not break my vow.

The more I look at it, the more I love it, very tempting. Bad influence Paul. When I got the 011Ti version I also checked the Ti 011-02. I didn't like it. Thought it is too busy, but it is so perfect with the RG case. The RG with the crazy coloured dial is sooooo perfect.

Congrats Paul, that is probably the most beautiful RM I have seen on trf. It looks balanced, unique and mesmerizing all at the same time. Simply stupendous. The pics are sick too! RG also looks great with the black cars in your stable.

I was with you on the Ti -02...tempted months back, but the dial seemed off with colors against Ti. But you're right, when you look at the dial color presentation with the RG -02 it's perfect. Once I saw one in person I was hooked and the hunt began.
