I have worn my RM002 during a few rounds of golf and I have a truly violent fast swing. No damage observed and I would warrant a 2 is considerably more delicate than a 55. I would have no issues wearing RMs as they are intended to be used.

RM011 exited the building on Friday to a new owner.

I will want the new redesign 011 (assuming I like it) which should be out late this year according to my AD and I should get a sneak preview.

I think John has a 035 and 011 he could post

My 035 is getting almost exclusive wrist time--for me it's truly the perfect watch.

Time for you to grab a RM Bryant.


Happy Sunday morning:

Soon Paul very soon, I can feel it. Just need to determine a model that I love (I love all which is the problem) haha. This is why I kept going back to this thread to see Roger and your RM.

Understood.

Try one with a velcro strap (like 035) and one on rubber (011). All super comfortable choices.

Enjoy the hunt

Hopefully John posts some shots (he has 055, 035 and 011).

Yup, I prefer the black strap too. Maybe the red will look better on the beach.

Agree that red is for 'fun/beach/etc' and toss on the black and you're set for more day to day/in office.

Love the versatility of the 035

In Houston for meetings for a few days and had a colleague from London in town. He noticed the RM and we launched into and 30 minute discussion of RM watches.

Getting ready for one more day of meetings...how about a bad hotel lighting shot

Awesome! I love the black! Is changing the strap a DIY thing?

Yes, BUT, there are two (loose) base plates that are in between the watch case and the strap connector. If you don't have those aligned and in the proper direction, it's a nightmare.

Also, had my AD send me the RM tool to make the changes.

Looking good Paul 👏
Have you got any pics with the strap detached so we can see how it goes together?
Do you need two RM screwdriver tools too detach the strap screws? I guess the screws are similar to AP ROO i.e. in two parts that screw together.
Cheers

Only need one screw driver (Screws come out from top). Sorry for bad pics, but best I could do:
