I LOVE it! Looks perfect on you.

Major Congrats John! This piece is sick. I tried the first one on received in the Paris Boutique in October and was blown away and loved the feel and side profile. I realize it is meant to be on the dressier side but I think it could still be very versatile. Do you think they would ever make it in NTPT? If so it would be the slimmest sport watch ever created and pretty cool IMO

Well that's the problem with you John, you have way too many crappy watches to choose from, I want to help you my friend, sending you my adress in PM right now, up to you to choose which crappy watch(es) you want to send me so that I can help you out getting rid of those awful things

On a more serious note I am really in awe on this new RM, strange as I had seen it before on the RM website, but didn't think anything special of it, but here it looks awesome, the other ultra thin models leave me cold, really not a fan of their dials and rectangular cases, but the dial on this one is really something, added with the tonneau shape and ultra thin is really cool, my favorite is still the all grey 055, and other 055, as well as 035's, but this 067 is really cool. There is one in white metal, anyone know if it is WG or SS or TI? Never mind, they have WG, RG and TI...

Have to agree with Lapince on this one. The watch is an absolute stunner. When it first launched I didn't think twice about, in fact I though it looked a little feminine but after seeing it on your wrist, I have definitely been wrong!! I think there is finally an RM that will fit my baby wrist haha.

BTW Lapince it was released in both WG and Ti. The Ti is relatively affordable for RM prices.

I couldn't agree with you both more. This was not a watch I ever intended to peruse, nor one that jumped off the website at me. After having the opportunity to see one in person and try it on, my mood totally shifted. It's well beyond what even the photos show.

Last night I pulled out my 11-03- it's freakin gigantic in comparison

Did you manage to play with the Ti version? Would love to see some pics.

Was back at the office today- loving this guy! As some of you may remember I never wear watches when seeing patients, but today this guy was on my wrist through all my large cases. I never even knew it was there. I am one happy camper.

Consider it blasphemy, but this watch is the perfect RM.

Apparently the Ti has a massive wait list. Went to the store today. So dissapointed. Tried the one with diamond on but it just didn't sit right.

I am based in London ATM. Haven't had time to check around but visited the two boutiques here and none of them had one. Planning to check out Singapore or Europe when I have the time.

I changed the strap again, this time from velcro res to rubber baby blue.
What i noticed is that the medium strap has 3 fins over each strap, but large strap has 4 fins and it looks a lot better. The large rubber is also a bit thicker as well.
I think it turned out great. Let the summer begin :)
