Gents,

I had posted first time in this thread a year ago and then maybe two or three other times and have been reading the thread occasionally. This weekend, I decided to read it from start so over 3000+ posts but had been a great reading, this is like a RM library and very educative. I now understand the brand and its models better. I have been visiting some ADs amd boutiques when I came across travelling and keeping an eye knowing that I will meet the buy point at some stage - if I will do the effort and find a matching AD for the same effort. However, the lesson is learnt already - find the RM sings for you first and then hunt for the right price. No rush here. I was trying some pieces but now I have much more info when I walk into a boutique - even I can challenge some of the sales staff

I have some info that we may hv the first RM boutique or AD in Turkey at the mall opening this Friday, will find out in couple of days. Otherwise, I will visit the ones in Shanghai and Hong Kong two weeks later.
I have a small wrist about 6.7 but I understand some owners here are the same/smaller which is not a big deal for the size and it requires your braine some time to adjust. I have some pictures from Milan and Dubai boutiques, pls let me know your comments.

Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to try on RM55 which is my favorite piece as it was in plastics waiting to be delivered to the new owner

And one more - I am fan of worldtimers but I think for the first RM, it should be an another one

Hi Kadir,

So just to sum up, the rm you should/must get in order to not loose the retail value a lot and stay up to date is either rm11 or rm30. As i told you on the turkish forum, Rm 010 is like the predecessor of the 11 which now has 2 more updated models. Rm 05 is really small and dull on the wrist. Rm55 bubba white looks cool but i think only in Miami and with a tan body. Rm11 or Rm30 is THE watch you should/must get because the case is almost similar, 011 being a tad
thicker, and i see that you is is the average size 030 would look much better.

Well, i am not an Rm expert here but i think over the last 2 years or so, i have had enough info to tell you that. Btw, the price you told on the other forum was for the 010 or the 030 ? Cause you don't have the 030 in the pictures you sent

texex91 · 24 April 2017, 07:22 AM

I would get 011 or 035.

The flavor is up to you, but both are highly desirable and size is perfect IMHO.

Finding one is another issue :-)

I hope I will be able to see -01 of the two you mentioned in HKG.

Hi Burak, the price I told you was RM30 ti but i did not see it yet thus no picture.
Thanks for the additional input, at least I have now a pretty good idea about the models I will go through and try before I make a decision and those are 11, 35, 55 and 29/30.

Your welcome - I will post more if it is okay as I will see more models and I hope to join
the club at some time.
I must say RM is also doing very nice ladies models that we need to post here

AshAP · 24 April 2017, 05:52 AM

They all look cool. I'm not keen on the RM10 as shown in your photo however with a different colour strap & crown rubber it can also look cool.

Interesting that you said you read the posts from start to finish in order to learn about the brand - I did exactly the same recently.

Love the Last Edition! Certainly miss having that one on the wrist.

That's a watch I never thought I would like, but it was amazing in person!

Just sold my 30 Ti. Lovely watch - do try one if you can find it. The slightly less thick case vs the 11 may suit your wrist size better.

Not mine but had the opportunity to take some wrist shots recently.

Really like the 61.

Paul you have moved the needle in this direction

The Yohan Blake 61 design has been on my mind...love the slightly odd case shape and the clean lines of this one.

A lot of eye candy in this thread,

I am pleased to announce that I can finally post an incoming to this awesome thread. Got this bad boy just in for my birthday. I was going to get an 02 but there was this whole thing with a dishonest AD but I dont want to get into that, to be honest I wanted the 01 to begin with but everyone told me it was discontinued. Major thanks to DavidSW for finding me this brand new one. RM is on a whole other spectrum just spectacular I am speechless and very pleased with this piece. I would like to apologize in advance for the quality of photos.
