In the last couple of weeks, we saw release of 67-02 and new 35 Americas aka Black and Gold Toro.
Any guestimate what to expect next?
11-03 NTPT perhaps?
I heard there is a huge interest on 11-03 Blue TPT Jean Todt edition which was announced a while ago but not hit the boutiques yet. Not sure why?

011-03 NTPT is coming soon (very).

The Todt issue was Richard himself did not like the color tint of the blue TPT of initial dozen cases produced and sent back for redo...that is what I call a perfectionist.

It was probably fine for most, but not Richard. Hopefully Fall timeframe.

The other day I tried RM30 PSG Edition which is in blue ceramic. I never seen RM30 before but I liked this version. However with price tag of usd 150k, there are some other good RM's out there.



There is one another similiar version in blue ceramic but with white sides listed at RM website (MEA/EUR edition) and still not seen.

Thanks, Paul.
Yes, NTPT would be great - is it fair to say NTPT is more preferred material.
When do u think it will be coming and price wise where it may be considering Jean Todt is usd 140k and ti is usd 115k?

'Preferred' is subjective.

Don't know pricing, but $140+ most likely.

Go grab an RM and get into the game archer...only you can decide what you like

That's more that $140, so sounds right

As to 011 boutique only, I would not be surprised to see that moving forward (has been that way since 011-03 was announced).

It's their most desirable (in demand) model and only makes sense to keep it Boutique only.

Let's see what shakes out.

This is going to be the trend moving forward- they want to lock in the pricing and valuations. This is how it is done and it secures second hand pricing.

I am surprised at the price of the NTPT 11-03, because I do not believe it is an LE? Am I wrong?

I am waiting on mine to come in, but I had not been informed of any pricing. Unfortunately, I did get some negative feedback about the piece. I'm hoping it's not the case, as it is from a non RM fan.

Guess we will have to see. Either way, I am again renewed in the brand and happy with the direction they are headed.

You really need to see which material is best for you!

Some prefer metals, others NTPT- I personally prefer ceramic at this point as I mentioned above, followed by ntpt.

I truly value the resistance of those materials at this price point. They are truly sport watches and can take a beating.

It's not LE from what I'm told (but with RM, I'll believe when I see it).

Excited for you John...'Dr 035'

Love the direction you are headed and agree with your thoughts on brand.

Paul,

That's what I was told too- but it is priced like an LE.

Guess we will have to see.

Yep. Look at the new 067 pricing, etc...more than anticipated. NTPT will be $140+.

I give it to them. Full pop price wise, run through boutiques only, keep new pieces priced higher, etc, etc.

Certainly is working as we see in demand, availability and secondary market.

We both understand it all too well.

No shit- the new 35's are absurdly priced and the fact that they are commanding premiums is even crazier. They are closed to sold out already.

I can agree that they have it figured out, but at some point the pricing will backfire. I guess not yet ;)

Patience is crucial. I got my 11-03 rg/Ti from an AD a couple of months ago with a very healthy discount.

Everything in HK is a 'healthy discount' And you flipped it for a 'healthy' profit LOL.

RM impossible in US right now. AP can get serious discounts...you know the game Roger.

Hahaha yes I guess this is true. Discounts on limited pieces are smaller it must be said but as Paul says supply is the issue.

I bought in the idea of buying a RM and currently trying to find out (and also enjoying) what I will like most. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see most that I want as they are not available at Boutiques and AD's.

Thanks, John. My preference would be also NTPT or ceramic at the first instance. Hv seen both but yet to see ti.

Most have not tried on an RM before buying (certainly the newer models). It's just part of the RM hunt (unless you are lucky and find something at a boutique). Gotta jump in at some point. Forget all of those one off 30's you're trying. Buy a 35 (or 11) and get going...

Well, we'll keep photos going here for you...happy Saturday 19th

Those unfiltered last few pics are really great... keep them coming...

RM fits all wrists like a glove due to phenomenal case design... only concern is material vs skin color... but in that case you can't go wrong with the Ti...

This morning light is great for pics (and I've been keeping my finger off HDR LOL). As to skin tone, it's exactly why I can't do RG anymore. My milky white skin and RG do not mix well together. I realized that with the 011-02 RG.

Weird Paul, I am a seriously pasty devil and never had a problem with RG.

Well, to each their own. I can only speak for my milky white skin tone :-). Also, RG also doesn't fit my lifestyle (this is TX not Hong Kong) and I also much prefer light watches (Ti, NTPT).

Thanks, working on it - for sure it will be 11-03, currently ti - just trying to understand when ntpt will be available as it may change my decision.

Thanks for the photos - will be happy to contribute once i will join the club.
