Well all it’s been way too long a wait for this one. A wait that had me frustrated to even think of leaving the brand…well cooler heads prevailed. Have been able to get new 035’s but the 011-03 forget it. AD’s in the US have yet to receive any and from what I hear they won’t.

RM has headed down the path of Boutiques and full price. It’s getting crazy, but they are doing the right thing for the brand and the secondary market.

I LOVED my 011-01 Ti. What got me started in RM many years ago. Then had the 011-02 RG. I finally realized that RG always looks good on everyone else but me. It’s also just too heavy for me—I much prefer lightweight watches.

Ti 011 is just my all around favorite. Here she is RM 011-03 Ti…I’m speechless this one is just STUNNING in person. So perfect.

So Being Titanium I expect it is very comfortable and light weight?

Wow, HUGE congrats Paul!

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what are the main differences between the 11-03 and the 11-FM or is it mainly just aesthetics?

I feel like there are a lot of cool potential straps for that watch

11-FM? You referring to 011-01? Complete redesign, from case to crown to pushers, to dial, etc.

I'll see if I can pull an old photo of -01 and do a compare side/side.

Gents I'm just stunned by this one...SO worth the wait.

So light, colors are perfect balance, love the new strap (have more coming). YUMMY!

Not that anyone can tell from the photos. Do you intentionally use a preset filter on your phone or editing software?
If you want, fire me over the original image off the camera/phone, and I’ll see if it’s possible to get a better result which does the watch justice.

Congrats Paul! This is my favorite model you have had. Really like the TI with the dial and colors. Super balanced and uber COOOOOL!

Enjoy my friend

You just answered my question. I was so caught up in that memorizing dial that I hadn't yet noticed how much more updated the rest of the watch looks especially the case. I like the look of the new crown a lot more but it looks like it's bigger? If so does that affect wear-ability any?

Congrats... it is certainly a beautiful piece. I would absolutely love to see one outdoor photo without the HDR filter, if possible?
