I have been waiting for 12 months for my Voutilainen, count I will get it in September, at the end of the month and that's 14 months, but hey had I ordered a Roger Smith it would be much longer... but I can understand Paul's frustration as he couldn't get it in the US, but with his RM purchase history they made a step his way, anyways cool he will have it for his Europe vacation, I decided to leave all my watches for Thailand this year, and really miss having a watch, but with all the beach and pool, plus driving a motorbike here, preferred not to tak the risk, last time my BLNR took quite a beating, which was 100% my faultdriving 600 pound Harleys and having drank too much I decided to use my honda 125cm3 for some cross driving at 3 in the morning, I barely got a scratch but the bracelet got bruised on one side...

Glad it worked out and big congrats! It looks amazing.

Well try to go to Europe and get a 5711 blue dial, and get back to me in 3-8 years when you have it

HL65 · 19 July 2017, 06:56 PM

Superb Paul...Great pick up as always!

fmc000 · 19 July 2017, 07:03 PM

Amazing watch. I love your incoming threads. Congrats (again :-) )

1William · 19 July 2017, 08:59 PM

Great watch.

Gator88 · 19 July 2017, 09:54 PM

Amazing watch! Congrats! I am surprised that the RM11-03 is so scarce in the US as I was offered one a number of times in London and Singapore.

Tony@KopiGau · 19 July 2017, 09:59 PM

Congrats Paul, the Ti makes it one of a kind. well worth the long wait and it is a keeper!

texex91 · 19 July 2017, 10:09 PM

Thank you guys for the nice comments...it's really just the perfect watch for me.

lapince · 20 July 2017, 12:22 AM

Is it grade 5 TI like AP? I thought TI scratched super easy, sure did on my TI Pam, but remember you told me Pam was grade 2 and AP grade 5 a few years ago, but must say the TI buckle on my AP diver is almost not scratched, it developped a kind of patina but without real scratches or bumps.
Basically does RM TI scratch easier, harder or as easy as SS from the leading brands?

It's more of the pic...but they are SO comfortable to wear. Much more so than other brands I like.

35-02 is a great watch indeed. Very simple and clean.

Very different watches, 011-03 is more complex because of chrono and annual calendar and so many layers in the dial and movement.

Hairdude1 · 20 July 2017, 08:56 AM

Major congrats my friend!!!!

Russell996 · 20 July 2017, 09:10 AM

Congrats on the new piece - and a keeper.

9 months wait, I'm sure you now feel it was well worth it.

jon_jon · 20 July 2017, 09:50 AM

Congratulations

Beautiful watch!

hdfb910 · 20 July 2017, 10:16 AM

Yes Grade 5. No issues, but then again I never have scratch issues with my watches. I just buy what I like and wear, not worry about the rest.

Belated congrats. Always great when you get the "the one" after a challenging hunt! Now the 5168 and 5522 will be surplus to requirements you can send them overseas to other TRF'ers (at a healthy premium of course!)
