Maybe they are posting a reply on TRF

Congrats Archer, that ntpt 11-03 is a WINNER

Neither in this case - I love most RM but this pair doesn’t do anything for me, they look a little bezel heavy IMO, so many other RM’s I would take in preference to those.

I can only imagine that if you even joke about paying with any body parts they will call you a loser to your face, bitch slap you and escort you to the door.
In contrast I visited the RM Boutique on Mount Street yesterday and immediately declared I was there just to check out a few pieces and try to better understand the brand as it appealed but I couldn’t get my head around the various product lines. Roberto spent a good hour with me showing me various fantastic pieces, explaining where they sat in the range, the interesting elements of construction and so on. Tried an RM011-01 Mancini, 02 Le Mans and 03 black carbon tpt(?), an RM005 (diamond set) and an RM030 blue ceramic. It was the 02 that appealed the most. Only challenge now is getting my head around buying a watch at 4x what my Platona cost...

Yes you are correct, we visited mount street the day after visiting Harrods and the experience was very different. The staff at mount street were far more welcoming, unfortunately on the day that we visited they were very limited on stock but that could have been because of the time of year and judging by the number of Lambourghinis with middle eastern plates there were still a lot of foreign buyers in town.

I was more interested in the 3 GT3 RS’s we saw down the road, but I wouldn’t turn down a free Lambo

RM 11-02 vs RM 11-03

The 11-02 is a GMT with a 60min chrono and the 11-03 is a chronograph with an hour counter as well. The 11-03 is made of a newer type of titanium and the rotor is redesigned.. Am I missing anything else. From my understanding, there is a much greater demand for the 11-03
