I dropped my Yohan Blake off at the NYC boutique on February 10th and picked it up yesterday from the boutique. Feels great to have it back on the wrist.

That's not a bad amount of time, considering there was a pandemic lockdown during this period.

Enjoy it in the best of health!

Thoughts on new 11-05? Personally, it’s probably my favorite new RM release in a while.

I think the color scheme is spot on. Love how the watch looks. I finally got a response from service...they haven’t even touch my watch. Sucks

looking forward to the 11-06

Waiting to see real life pics... in these renders looks nothing like AP ceremet...
and actually AP used ceremet on 4 models: a small run of 10 pieces Pride of Mexico for collectors, Trulli, 3 Schumi models and RO openworked piece unique for The Kidz Horizon Charity.

Here's to hoping the 11-06 will be "regular production" and will come in Carbon TPT.

I'm not down with this Cermet material, unfortunately. Very cool, but not interested.

Does anyone know what's around the corner for the next RMs?

67-03?
72-01?
11-06?

Any details?

Icon20 Need advice for RM 30 ti

Hello guys need advice from RM guys! I have been interested in RM for a while, now i really want to get into it.

I currently own 5980 white, planning to sell it for approx 80K USD
and lange datograph rosegold for 50k USD

Im planning to get RM 30 ti used

Q1) Do you think RM 30ti is a good start? or what else I should consider, I'm not a fan of white/rose gold models

Q2) in terms of potential investment what do you think of RM 30ti currently? Any trends?, do you think prices will continue to rise or even fall? (I know no one can tell for sure but what do you think?)

Q3) what market price should i be expecting for a used RM 30ti? 106K?

Q4) OR should i stay away from RM lol

Thanks so much, really want to pull the trigger

You ask a lot of good questions.

I've been wrong more than right.

The prices now are absurd, but they seem to only go up.......so what do I know.

I don't think you're gonna get a 30ti for 106 though.

It’s a dirty one - all these new releases and I think I’m about 6-12 months away from pulling the trigger on one

I'd say all pricing in the watch industry right now is unnatural due to a significant drop in supply as a result of productivity hits thanks to the pandemic lockdowns.

Wait it out.

I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a used 35-01 but couldn’t pass the opportunity to order a new RM30. Love the watch!

Q2- I’m not concern about value so I can’t tell you
Q3 - Unfortunately, 106 sounds low. Pre-Covid was around 120-125ish.
Q4 - Come join the RM group! You won’t look back.

Yes 2020 from boutique, a little under 150k beginning of the year.

I think there was a price increase recently, not to sure.

Looks nice! I thought it's not easy to order them 'now a days' because the minute you change those you have your special edition.

RM Strap Changes

Have an 11-03 and a 030 now and have accumulated a few straps. As much as I love visiting the Boutique, it’s a couple hour ride. I’m confident I can handle the strap changes on my own and have seen a bunch of RM “type” screwdrivers online. Can anyone recommend a suitable screwdriver that I can use to do my own strap swaps? Thank you in advance.

Changing straps is easy and just requires the proper tool. They used to sell the tool through boutiques but I heard they dont do that any longer. I bought mine through TRF and im pretty sure you can find them on ebay

Be careful on eBay. Many do not fit. I’d try to go the boutique route and if that doesn’t work PM me.

Maybe in the past, not for a couple of years. People are stripping screws so they stopped giving them away.

100% bought several from eBay and other placed, none fit. It’s almost as if some guy overseas made a fake mold and flooded the market.
