Curious about Richard Mille

[Sir Larry Wildman]

All - I have been following the Richard Mille daily snapshot thread for some time now. I am absolutely frothing at the mouth to own one. I love them - the look, the exclusivity, etc.

I specifically have my eye on the RM29. I think retail is $75k (that may be before the coming 5% price decrease). But, more importantly, what *should* I be willing to pay for the watch (assuming I buy new from an AD)?

As someone who owns AP and Journe mostly (and my trusty Speedy Pro!), will I untimately be satisified with Mille? I know that's a strange question as it's so personal, but do people who are into "traditional wristwatches" enjoy long-term happiness with a Mille, or is it a passing fancy? That is my number one fear. For something that will depreciate as soon as I walk out of the store, I want to make sure that my ownership of a Mille is a long and happy one... not a flash in the pan.
