RM doesn't fly under the radar. It smashes through the noise barrier. Unfortunately the model has been seen on so many wrists now (fakes) that it is the new 1990's of Rolex. People flexing fakes like never-seen-before and they're so hard to tell from real and fake too unless a picture is taken and analyzed.
Been thinking about getting this for the wife/kid to share. Sell one of my less hot watches...




If this reference value retention didn’t suc so bad I probably would have gotten it

I'd love to own an RM11 or 55. Problem is the waiting list is dirty long and there's a premium on them. I'll wait it out...It could turn into the next FM - Who knows

Just for the sake of it. Having 1 RM in your collection is almost a must when you get to this level where you own a handful+ of Pateks and other brands.

i can hardly think of any luxury item more hyped than RM. they look like plastic junk, they feel like plastic junk and in reality they are plastic junk. but if someone wants to spend that kind of money on them, i am sure mr RM will be more than happy to accommodate:::)))

no guys, don't get me wrong. the RMs are fun watches and i'd pay close to 1K USD for one, no probs. wear at the gym for example, like an upscale swatch.

i kind of agree. I understand AP backs them / movements but honestly they are huge pieces of random materials (essentially the exact same as hublot does). They just dont feel like they're worth anything close to 100-200k+. You could say the same about any watch that sells for alot of money but it just doesn't feel right with RM. Not knocking the design as sure i agree they're cool, lts just they feel very different. Plus the grey inventory stock is insane especially NYC, looks like they have boatloads of them sitting. RM might currently be the highest risk bubble in watches currently especially with many other brands copying the shape and using the same case style materials

Agreed, although not sure I'd even go the full $1K... maybe for $500 USD I'd be in on the RM "Glorified Swatch", but only if they throw in an all gold Apple Watch "Edition" as a sweetener (anyone remember that one?).

You must have a weak stomach. That’s a scratch proof bezel. And a skull crusher crown!

RM67-01. Gorgeous, but it's a bit too thin for my liking. What price you getting it for?

Retail is 157K and they say they’ll “work with me”. Probably going to pass on it for now. Seems like all versions of the 67-01 are readily available from RM AD’s which means resale isn’t so great. Great watch though. PM me if you want to know where the Ti no diamonds can be had.

I'll pass on it. Personally looking for an 11-03, 55 or 35-02, but they are as you know, priced to the moon. Willing to pay MSRP for them but not the premium they ask for. Previously expressed I just want 1 RM in my collection.

Very nice. I thought the 67-01 was too thin for me. Felt dressy

I went with a 029 as a first watch for the fam. Cause the 030 is backed up.
