RM35-01 or RM35-02? Can get both brand new from authorized dealer but is the 02 worth the premium?

Can't go wrong with either, but 35-02 auto is nice indeed.

Honestly they are such great watches it's a coin toss.

You will love 035 as extremely versatile watch with strap changes.

Look forward to what you decide

Either is great! You can't go wrong.....if you can try them both on I would, as the cases are different sizes!

Always a danger of having two incomings within a few days...one will always suffer.

Both great ones in their own right IMHO

Hi, quick question, does the tool to change the strap comes with the watch or have to buy separately from RM ?

Separate and depending upon model, you need to be careful when changing straps.

Some models have a base plate that protect the case and it has to be in position perfect.

Have your AD show you.

Here is my poor man's richard mille, just received and in real life the depth of the dial is unreal. The only problem is that now, i have to sell my other watches because rm is really on a different league.

That's what you call a poor man's RM? I was expecting to see a 010 or something like that, the 030 is close to 055-035 prices, and it is very nice, not a fan of the 010 but I like the 030. Congrats enjoy your RM, RM is on my radar but I think it will take a few years for me to get to it.

I had a nightmare yesterday. I had bought a baby blue RM on white rubber strap for 60000 USD. I was happy with my purchase for 1 day. The next day I hated the watch and myself for buying it. It was so depressing. Interestingly I had also both a a full tantalum Tudor with an ETA movement. I also regretted that purchase but not as much as the RM.

You didn't buy a last edition for $60k. Maybe $130k if you're lucky.

Enjoy the Tudor--take care

Hello everyone!

Spent quite a lot of time lurking on this forum trying to find the right thread for people who are as obsessed with Richard Mille as I am;)

So, here is my RM 30 NTPT Asia, which I just got today. Feels great, but takes more effort to take a good picture, you know, has to be the top one
