you have a point

Larry,
First of all, your RM10 looks nice! Is it white gold or titanium?

You do have a point, and now that I realize the watch is not as big as I had imagined, I'm planning to take a look at one in person. Originally, I was planning to look at an RM5, but ADs seem to be out of them right now. Now, I'm thinking RM10 may still be a good size, so I'll take a look at that when I can get to an AD. I figure an RM10 is a good first RM to own.

I'm probably inclined to go with either a titanium or white gold one, since all my other watches have a white metal case. Since RM watches make use of lightweight materials in the movement, titanium may be especially appropriate, and having an ultra light sports watch might be nice. I already have enough watches with precious metal cases and much heft. Rose gold looks nice, but for some reason it seems too dressy for such an industrial looking watch. I can see getting a Patek 5970 in rose gold, but in my opinion it doesn't seem to be the best fit for an RM.

reluctant to get a RM

By: eric.vonschonberg : July 5th, 2008-12:12

After reading the recent posts, I'm a bit concerned that if I buy a RM I'll be disappointed. It seems typical to have to send evena new RM to be serviced sometimes multiple times, and even if it doesn't have to be serviced, it's not likely to be very accu...

I've just started looking into Richard Mille watches, so I'm sharing these current impressions, so that other more knowledgeable can say which of these impressions are on the right track and which ones miss the mark: 1. Very impressive from a design stand...

I'm leaning towards testing the waters with an entry level piece first. So, I've started looking into sizes more. I thought Panerais were big, but these watches are huge! It looks like the RM005 is the smallest one, but at 45mm it's about the size of a ty...

NO NO No....pls read....

The Panerai 44mm does not include the lugs.....with lugs it is arounf 54mm. RM does not have lugs.....i find my RM11 to be slightly smaller feeling than a Panerai Luminor 44mm ....and a much better fit! I find my 11 wears smaller than an Offshore............

thanks ...

Indeed it is a common false opinion

you're right - RM010 not too large

Have not had a problem with my RM 10

By: Larry Seiden : July 10th, 2008-11:00

Eric, It's easy for people to tell you their story of woe. I'm not saying RMs are perfect or work like a charm everytime. However, this forum represents, maybe 1-2% of RM owners. I'm not degrading any issues that owners have had. But certainly you can fin...
