Richard Mille - Thankyou and request

Thankyou and request

I have just purchased (arrived this morning) a RM 010 RG which I am delighted with. My decision was very much helped by the contributors on this forum so thanks very much for the useful advice , great pictures and knowlegde imparted on the site.

My initial impresions are it is smaller than i was expecting but not in a negative way for me , I am used to AP Royal Oak offshore rubber clad , Cartier santos 100 and a number of Panerai all which feel much larger on the wrist.

The detailing is exquisite , very comfortable with unusual but excellent spring loaded deployment clasp .

I am a big motorsport and car nut so the association appeals to me.

My request is concerning the winding mechanism and the instructions which I dont fully understand. It refers to a torque sensor located on the right of the watch but I am unsure to what it refers.

Can anyone help as I am reluctant to attemp without any guidance. I am assuming like all my other watches merely the wearing of the watch will power the mechanism without winding anyway if it has stopped.

I had the watch sent to me from a dealer in London as I live in Scotland so didnt get the benefit of any tuition.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think the RM10 has a torque sensor...

.. first of all CONGRATS on a great watch I don't think the RM10 has a torque indicator. The documentation looks like it might refer to another RM watch like the RM2, or 3 maybe. I have the RM005 which essentially has the same movement - just not as open ...

no torque sensor

Thanks for this as it looks like you may be right all the other docs relate to the RM 010 but the one sheet that refers to the torque sensor has no model reference on it so it may have been inserted to the docs case by mistake. As the RM 010 and RM 005 ha...

Depends on how active you are

If you're sedentary most of the day and wearing an automatic winding watch, u'll still have to manually wind the watch cause you're not moving around enough to cause the rotor to spin around and store energy at a greater rate than you're using the stored ...

watch winding

By: graham : January 6th, 2008-02:47

As I am new to RM's and there doesnt seem to be instructions for winding if the watch stops firstly which direction does the crown wind in to wind the watch up and secondly how many revolutions are appropriate. My other watches all came with clear instruc...

Wind the crown clock-wise

and if u wear the watch on your wrist every day, you won't need to wind it as much so I'd just manually wind it 20 times and that should be enough to ensure u're at full power. Don't worry about manually overwinding the watch cause automatic watches these...
