guys i need you to help me dcide on...which RM should i get next
i'm currently hunting for a new RM but i'm a bit torn over these 3 candidates which i love all equaly
- RM004 (my ultimate chrono watch) and considered a grail for some long time
- RM002 what can i say about it simply beatiful BUT the only flow (to me ofcourse) is that i'm more into the RM10 size watches not the RM005 and the 002 is i think the same size as the 005 BUT this is NOT a show stopper i'm in love with this piece none the less.
- RM003 (GMT and RM10 size) simply beatiful and edgy and one of the easiest to read and set GMTs out there
all are different from each other and unfortunatly all SPEAK LOUD to me 
they all make me smile and hence my delimma....
so please all of you i need your suggestions and comments on the above
lets say that this is a mini poll
interested to hear your thoughts

My preference among your choices....
I owned a RM002 V2 in WG. It was a very nice watch - and I thought my ultimate watch - but I sold it because I just did not have the passion for it. In my opinion, it was too small - and yes it was smaller than the RM10 - I think it uses the RM05 case. In...
Good Post Marc...
Interesting dilema...save up and buy one of each if I were you! I currently own an RM002 & an RM004. I love both those watches equally, and make the following observations:- Firstly I dont really think that the smaller size of the 2 is a problem...in fact...
Good points Chris....
....and may I say that you are a lucky man to own both the 004 and 002 (as well as a 10). I just took a nice shot of my 004 - which is a rarity for me - so rather than waste it I thought I would post it here for all. Marc...
RM004 time and time again
My personal view is that if you appreciate RM watches then the RM004 is the most representative of RM's vision. Put simply its the perfect and purest chrono and should be next on your list (its my next RM for sure). The latest RM004 special editions (all ...
I contemplated the same three RMs before deciding on my RM004 . . .
RM002: The RM002 is a smart looking, well balanced watch and, of the three models, the most understated and easiest to wear. While I prefer the larger case of the RM003 and RM004, the smaller RM002 case is not a problem for me. That being said, the RM002 ...
Great to see the Pics....
...seems like the RM004 has it by a whisker then!!....cannot quite agree with Craigs comments on the RM002 re it being bland for a tourbillon....as I wear the two and it moves about it glints, it catches the eye, personally I think its a stunning Tourbill...
Got to post one...
Sorry but in repsonse to Craig's post...cannot agree this is banal for a Tourbillon...but I respect your opinion each to their own...
I think calling the RM002
'banal' is stretching the term a little too far. The RM002 (and the RM001 before it) were show stoppers when they first appeared, and it might be the case that we have become all too accustomed to the design and layout to think of it in ordinary terms. Ho...
Perhaps I overstated my opinion . . . For that I apologize . . .
Truth is: I generally much prefer tourbillons over chronos. Truth is: I have contemplated purchasing a RM002 several times. Truth is: The RM002 is a superb watch. I guess my primary point is that I prefer other tourbillons over the RM002, and the RM004 is...
And fair enough.... the RM004 as a chrono is a standout
against anything else on the market; the RM002, 8 years ago was unlike any other on the market. To a small degree, the market has caught up. But then Richard produces the RM027, RM018, RM012, RM009, and while not production pieces, shows how far he is mov...
of those choices
I'd pick the RM004. Years from now when RM004 has long been discontinued, it will be highly collectible. I agree it is one of the most significant split second chronos ever made. The Patek 5004 was a split second built on top of an existing Chrono base, b...
Only you know what is truly in your heart....
and I rather suspect that it is the RM004. Personally, I am not into chronographs (too much going on for my love of simplicity), but for others, it is a thing of beauty. That said, the RM004 is one of only two chronos that I love. Designed from scratch, p...
RM004 versus RM011
If you're considering a RM004, here's one more thing to keep in mind. Right now, you can get one in mint condition for around the price of a RM011 new! The RM011 is really hot right now. But, it is a regular chronograph, which is a simple watch in compari...
Not quite - the chrono module had to be designed from scratch
but... you are right, the RM004 is purpose built, clean piece of paper for design, and for the money, is $ for $ the best value RM watch on the market. Andrew H
chrono module
I didn't realize that. So, the chrono module for the RM010 was designed from scratch? I know that the RM010's movement came from another movement from Vaucher, but with lots of work, and thought the chrono was from another movement too. Did Vaucher design...
No, Vaucher only produce the basic movement,
the chrono module was developed with Dubois Dépraz who are the same firm who manufacture the module for the AP Royal Oak Offshore. They produce the best chrono modules in the business. Andrew H
thank you guys for your inputs and frootful participation
i guess the general view is leaning towards the 004 which i totaly agree with the the points raised are spott on and i do think that the 004 is in fact the true essence of RM watches and truely embodies the concept of a racing machine on the wrist more so...
Is that a V1?
It also appears to be platinum, but I could be mistaken. Eric von Schonberg
The rarest RM!!! Only 7 made! Some years from now,
when RM watches (when the man himself was starting out), watches like this are going to be worth a fortune to collectors - both in pecuniary and non-pecuniary terms. As well as the emotional bond of the watch with Richard Mille in the early days, there is...
nice, I have a practical question ...
Very nice watch! V1s are rare, and quite a collectors' item. Since there have been so many improvements to the movement over the years, I'm wondering whether you have sent it back to get upgrades. Some of the improvements I believe are even necessary to f...
Thanks
I did worry about the movement being altered when I sent the watch in for service, but it seems they were able to adjust the existing movement so it works quite reliably right now. I think they will never be able to upgrade mine to a full V2 since the who...
thinking of getting one
It's great to hear so many people, like you, have a passion for their RM004. I'm thinking of getting one too. One thing nice about the RM004, is that unlike the RM011, the difficulty assembling it limits its numbers, making it highly collectible. Amazingl...
