A creative German! That's a great combination!
The most successful designs are often pragmatic but beautiful things. The Bauhaus movement, being a great success story that transcended cultures and continents.
I really like the yellow. It's going to be hard to beat the yellow. A military green would potentially go well with the gray-ness of the titanium. I too am all about the technical execution. Sometimes the technical look makes the complication work from an aesthetic standpoint. The MB&F Legacy Perpetual calendar is where the technical execution and the complication itself go hand in hand.
We're looking forward to more of your postings here! Can't wait!
Finally, entry into RM
After many years of lusting, I was finally able to get into Richard Mille. Many years ago, I was enticed by Richard Mille. During a trip to Las Vegas I had the chance to try on a red 35-02 at the boutique. I instantly understood the appeal. It was cool, i...
Endearing story!
I feel genuinely happy for you after having taken the 'scenic route' to finally obtaining a RM! My current favorite is the 67-01, presicely for its amazing dimensions, but I have yet to see one in person ! Cheers, Filip
Thank you for your kind words.
The 67-01 is really nice. I have a few collecting buddies who manged to pick them up. The wearing experience is fantastic, very comfortable. The water resistance was a big factor for me. I intend on getting wet with this one. Also, There's something about...
That's completely understandable!
I know the 67-01 is only 3 bar rated, which for a sports watch of that caliber is at least somewhat underwhelming....
Congratulations !
Long journey and great achievement. Even if it isn’t my personal kind of watches, I can certainly understand the appeal. Best, Emmanuel
Congratulations on your new watch
What a great story of how you managed to get there as that always makes a watch even more special. Whilst RM's really aren't my kind of watch I have to say that is possibly one of the most legible RM's I have seen. Wear and enjoy your new watch in good he...
Thank you.
I will say, of all my watches, the ones that become the most special to me are the ones with the most memorable path to acquire. It's never the ones I got for a special occasion, or the ones that are super rare.
I’m a fan, congratulations!
I’m a fan, even if I don’t understand their pricing. Still, the 67-01 is my favorite, although your point about WR is well taken. Your 005 is a bit thicker than the 67, correct? Otherwise they would have made a big deal of the 005’s thinness. The 72 is gr...
Thank you.
The RM005 is slightly thinner than the RM010, both are thicker than the 67. But all three are considerably more wearable than something like an 11. The 11s are cool, but chunky!
It looks great on you too! I'd rock that! Great strap choice!
Glad you finally found your RM! It looks so good! I think the titanium is very apropos. When I got my first watch, a Patek Philippe Nautilus, I thought about getting the gold variant, but decided to go with the steel variant - I like gold, but I thought t...
Thank you.
Honestly, I was not thrilled about the yellow, but it is growing on me. Luckily, the watch came with several other RM straps. Will be swinging by the boutique to do some swapping soon. 100% agree, about the Ti factor. In my heart of hearts, I feel like al...

The combination.
Again, thank you for your kind words. I think we are both dancing around the same theme. IMHO, magic happens where technical advancement meets creative advancement. I think that certainly exists within RM (even contemporary offerings) and CERTAINLY within...
Outstanding watch! I fully regret not buying an RM-05 back in 2012-13 or so…
Had a semi deal on a white gold and then the titanium Philippe Massa, oh well. I frequently went to an AD and there were abundant models around at all times and always some pre owned too.
Patience pays off...
The watch looks awesome on your wrist. Congratulations, and enjoy the beauty.
Congratulations and what an entry!!
Your patience rewarded for the right piece for you and not setting.
Many congratulations, it’s a great watch.
I tried one on back in the day and I remember it being incredibly comfortable. Enjoy your watch! Jon
First strap change
While the yellow rubber was starting to grow on me, the Velcro is ridiculously comfortable. The watch becomes nearly unnoticeable on the wrist. ...
