Any pics of Sky model?

And I never came to any live or press shot of Manchester City limited 011 :)

Here is rare wristshot of Yas Marina white gold 011...

Picture of the Sky model on Sotheby's site in the catalogue for HK auction. For some reason I couldn't copy it. I have seen the Man City in the flesh and think it looks awful!

Here you go Roger...I personally don't care for the 'baby' blue colors, but it's a rare bird for sure #03/03:

And (not counting the gold GMT) they didn't release any gold 011 in a while... all limited editions in past years are ceramic or NTPT...

So much going on with the 39, looks amazing.
I am also a fan of the 32, another superb RM. I really like the way the crown locks the chrono pushers & crown.

It's definitely on my list for my upcoming watches. Think it's the only Suitable 50mm on the market for me

It is amazing how they have designed the case in such a way that a huge 50mm watch can wrap the wrist so well. My wrist is only 7.25" and it fits better than all of my other smaller watches.

I saw some pics of 060-01 on sub 7 inch wrist and it look ok...same thing with 011.. when you look at watch next to Nautilus or 42 ROO it looks like it can only suit 8 inch wrists, but it sat perfectly on my 6.7 wrist...

It's amazing--even 011 is 50 x 40 mm and the absolute most comfortable watch I've owned. You're spot on Roger--that curved case makes all of the difference (and I will add the strap on 011 you can adjust to make it literally just perfect--which is key).

I want to try on a 32 on my next travels (headed to Singapore in a month so will have plenty of oppty).

39 as pictured. I have never owned a 32, although have had multiple 28s.

Swing by Hong Kong and you can try my 39 (and no doubt the various other things I will have bought over the next month) - be great to meet you!

Great shopping indeed. Ironically the piece I want to see is the US only Midnight Fire, but will check out the RM Boutique (Orchard) in SIN for some window shopping. Actually in SIN for a day, the rest I'll be in Bali (Ku De Ta here we come)

028 Evil Eye...

I don't like this new creations... Skulls, and Dragon Jackie Chan models have much more presence and style... what do you think?

Hmmm....always staying creative.

They need to spend less time designing new models and get to producing what they have already promised!

I really like it (looks like the NTPT goes more gray than black).

Interesting that the 25th is the same price as other NTPT pieces, would have thought it would be more--but hey, not complaining

And yes, a blue strap would be a nice change up on it for sure (might even get away with a yellow strap in if taking it to the beach or hanging out on yacht).
