Didn't put anything on it. It was a morning shot, with direct light...that angle makes it appear darker than it really is.

There are MANY layers in movements and dial, very complex layers of different shades.

Well since you're trying / buying...I say grab that 011-03Ti and RUN!

I saw the 035 Americas RG in LV last week. It's nice, but prefer the complexity of 011. Now ceramic and RG 035 would make it tougher.

GO BUY IT!

Hahahah- short 2 week bank stay!!

I am seriously considering adding the gold 35 Americas to my 35 collection ;)

I think I've come to the conclusion that I am just a 35 guy, and will only be keeping one RM11 in the collection.

I'll be posting pictures of the ceramic 35 soon- I think it's honestly the best RM I've owned.

Have you seen both in person John? Also, just out of curiosity what draws you to the all gold more?

I've only seen pictures but I love the look of the gold/ceramic combo

035 is such a great watch and w/ 011 -- perfect combo(s) as you know too well.

Held the Americas 035 RG in LV--it has a nice weight and looks much better in person than pics.

A ceramic 35? Now that must really look cool. Have only tried the 011 and at the time thought it was too big for me and I am not a chrono fan, but was mostly wearing my 5712, so from 5712 to 011 the difference is huge, had I had the AP diver on the wrist might have been different, my 2 favorite designs, if not to count the 400-800k models, are the 35 and 55, especially the all grey, they look awesome, but pretty sure I would love a ceramic 35...

It's the new Limited Edition Americas...with ceramic (TZP) w/ gold sides. Pics have been posted here already, but for your pleasure (until John posts his--which I've seen and it looks great on his wrist!).

Sure hope you do add the gold toro but black toro is amazing too can't go wrong with either

Yes! Get those on the wrist (it's part of your arm) and start sharing pics here.

Bank pics don't excite the RM crowd--we are very spoiled

I just received a video of RM35 Americas gold and I am really impressed. I was not expecting it to be that good. I like ceramic as well, neither is wrong and I agree 35 is my cup of tea as well. That being said, I will probably start with RM11-03 ti and then add RM35.

Already have the black toro and I am thinking about the gold
Toro now.

Again- it's the best 35 yet (the black) in my opinion. Having three 35's now, I would like to add the Gold- but my concern is still the same as always- weight, wearability, scratchability, etc.

I'm not sure it's a pragmatic piece for me, but I do love the video I got of it today.

I know you...the scratch issue will bother you.

There will be other 035's and the Ceramic Americas you have is the one in my book.

Good luck on decision

Hate to say it- but you do know me.

I can't justify the price and I will not wear it due to the weight and the scratcibility.

I bought the black first for a reason. I do have another RM move up my sleeve that is emminant though!!!!

Some of my family leaves tomorrow and I will finally take some good photos of the 35 Black Toro to share!

Exactly...smart move. Black Toro is the one (can't wait to see more pics).

Excited to hear about what else is up the sleeve.

Think I know, but then again, I never really know
