Richard Mille why so much
What is all the hype about these watches. Why do they cost so much ? Do they hace some sort of cutting edge technology other watches do not ??

They do look really cool but come on. I can get so many other cool watches for the price of even his cheapest watch

Extremely overpriced and for whatever cutting edge technology so to speak is used I'd rather buy a nice cutting edge car or invest in real estate ... I personally see no value in the brand.. |

They get bored with the common Rolex. They may even have the rare pieces of PP and AP so they need something that’s more exclusive, ultra hard to obtain and mostly ugly so that’s where RM comes in. Ever seen the Yohan Blake edition? Absolutely disgusting. |

It’s a combination of exotic materials, specialised designs and movements, very low production numbers and price point exclusivity at play.
Certainly not for everyone’s tastes but they do have some great pieces for sure. The overly gaudy ones though are a bit much for me.

That about sums it up. Interesting watches, but very gaudy. Then again, I’m not the demographic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I appreciate the craftsmanship but find most of the dials extremely hard to read.

That's what our cell phone is for, to tell the time.

When I meet someone wearing RM they (almost) invariably have personal issues

No wonder I haven't seen him in a while. He was the reason I stopped visiting Rolex forum for a while because ever since I criticized RM, he would try to provoke me whenever he can, at that time most are on his side though.

If they were $500 watches, I would not want one. But I want one because they are very expensive (exclusive). There's my personal problem.

-- Secondhand dealer who lowballed me and then cackled like a crazed hyena
-- Guy at nightclub who asked a woman to come home with him and insulted her after she refused -- Man who screamed at a flight attendant for being too slow with his drink order -- Gentleman who told me that he hated his son and daughter, all within 2 minutes of meeting him I've also met some good guys wearing RM so I should have said "frequently" rather than "almost invariably." In no way do I mean to malign our RM-collecting members here at TRF. |
