In it Came -- Richard Mille RM004

Previously I posted about a second RM vs the new AP Tourbilon Concept GMT. I went back and forth on this for many months.. I realized the AP might be too big for my wrist. I have a Richard Mille 11-02 and was thinking about the RM002 or RM003 tourbilon vs a RM004 split seconds. I a came across a like new Richard Mille RM004 with remainder of the warranty and went for it.. Very cool piece.. The movement is just gorgeous...

That is the nicest and cleanest RM I’ve ever seen.

Really great taste you’ve got. Incredible pieces on both accounts, but the SS is a showstopper.

Is this the one with a different split seconds mechanism? I remember reading that it's impressive what they did in terms of horology.
You have a special watch. Congrats.
