I keep hearing conflicting rumors.

I realize current 011 version is being discontinued, but will 011 (model number) completely be discontinued as well...i.e. no more 011 period?

OR is the new redesign going to be a 011-xxx?

Whatever it's going to be, I hear AD's will see design late Spring/Early Summer and maybe late Fall early deliveries.

We'll see...

11-02 will continue apparently. New 11 will be in house ie not Vaucher movement. I don't know this for certain but my source seems well informed.

Looking at purchasing my first RM watch :), theres a couple that appealed to me so far..
rm35 americas and an rm30 (forgot exact model #)

what should I be going for price wise ? the 35 was 120 msrp and the 30 140 msrp (USD)

how bad am i gonna be hit on resale when the time comes to move on ? the americas is limited but i feel like it won't make much difference at this level.

thanks in advance

First, congrats on taking the leap

Feel free to PM me and I can give you info.

I will say 030 you will take a big hit.

With RM it's key to find something you like, but also 'buy safe' from a price perspective (as you enter into the brand).

011 (Massa Ti or RG), 035-01 and 055 are the ones that hold well for a first piece.

Time to fire up the RM thread.

There is another TRF member getting his RM today, so I hear, so let's get those pics posted to tease him:

Superb shot Paul - really captures the beauty of the floating movement perfectly framed in that NTPT case. RM just got it so right with the 35-01, no wonder it is such a sought after piece. Keep on rockin that beauty 👏👏👏

But, does anyone here really wear one and play a lot of golf?

Umm...unless you're a better player than Bubba, I wouldn't worry about it.

RM watches ARE made to be worn during sports. 55 would be perfect for your golf outings
