Rather get the Nadal tourby or RM69, cheaper and rarer!

I’d rather a few other tourbs first at this price, but that’s me!
I think the price is perfectly justified...

These edition sizes are getting pretty big for the price of the watches- this and the Mclaren.

I can only expect the smaller editions to do better long term, but what do I know.

I love how RM use new and innovative materials, but at the end of the day I am always a biggest fan of titanium RMs... from 004 to 011...

At 900k is justified bc it’s an RM? You are insane bro. I looked at both 50 03 and 53 01 but couldn’t get over the 900k price tag.

i just meant that Richard Mille can put any price he wants, his watches will be sold since he has his followers. The justification is that some people have the means, so why not put a high price tags regardless of the manufacturing cost.

Has anyone ever tried to change the rubber part on the crown to a different color? Do you need to buy a new crown or can you just swap out the rubber

I remember a thread here in TRF that boutiques offered this swap to customers

I remember that being mentioned too, but when I asked the boutique they said they stopped doing it.

Hi All,

A good friend of mine came over last night and saw my RM11 Demon watch and he absolutely loves it. It's his first time seeing a RM in person. He is now very keen on purchasing his first RM. Not sure how to advise him though. Should he get into RM 10 or RM 30? He feels the RM 11 might be a bit of a stretch for him, maybe the non-limited edition ones might work?

He is looking at a budget of $80K and can stretch 10%-20%, would he be able to get something nice?

I thought the Bubba Watson or baby Nadal would look nice. It grows on you actually.

Your thoughts?

Cheers.

Major contracts- they say, “the end is the beginning of the end”!

I wish you luck down this rabbit hole ;)

Hi guys, new to RM. I have been trying to get an 11-03 and a 60-01 lately. Called all the AD's in 500 miles, basically, all of them told me to get out. They wouldn't even put me on a wait list because it's not possible. I also found that RM sales are asses in general compared to PP.

In the Patek world I can pretty much get anything I want at the moment, but how do I even start with RM? Can anyone shed some light on the RM game? Thanks in advance!
