Hey guys I just wanted to see what you guys think of Richard Mille watches and I wanted to know which is the best Richard Mille and can be worn everyday with many different outfits out of the low priced richard miles (no tourbillons, one can only wish )

Thanks

Might want to review this thread:https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=374620

RM's are simply fantastic pieces and the most comfortable watch I know.

Any can be worn daily, but a safe bet is always a RM-011 (Massa).

If you watch F1 check out Martin Brundle. He's usually sporting RM.

Westime does carry them, but not a great place to buy them.

Westime is also the RM US distributor (and own RM LV and BH Boutiques).

All US RM's go through Westime at some point another...

RM 11 RG or Ti but I would not say no to an Ivory, Phantom or the retired Carbon for that matter!

My favorite in the "non expensive" pieces is the carbon R Nadal, no complications but love the way it looks, and of course the 011 is great, the added GMT is cool but as I understood comes at a huge premium, I can't even imagine how it must be to wear some of their models which weigh around 20 grams, it's almost, I imagine, like having a ghost watch since you don't even feel it with that "weight", but I think that the ultra light ones are expensive, then again even the ones which aren't super light weigh around 40-50 grams, that's also incredibly light.

It took a long time for me to like them, don't like all of them, but now I find some are just awesome, my grail is clearly the Skull model, either the ceramic and RG skull or the actual one that they have on their website, a shame they don't do it without the tourbillon.

These 3 here are probably the 3 I would like to have the most from their current lineup, in these configurations, especially for the 011 which has I don't know how many variations and that I find awesome like this

Funny Ken I didn't imagine you as being a possible RM fan, did you already own one or will this be the first? If I could get a 011 I would get the all black version they have on their website which seems to be a LE, it's absolutely stunning, it's on pic on my post above

About the OP's question of which can be worn with any outfit there are some ultra thin round or rectangular models that I can see being worn either in shorts or with a suit, but not my favorite models as they are 100% sport watches and real sport watches rarely go very well with a suit IMO

Sadly the interesting pieces are at the Boutiques and the discounts there are limited. The AD that I use has very low stock currently. 30 WG 25 Ti/RG 4 plain carbon are the only interesting ones but first two don't appeal (25 is silly money) and I the 4 is amazing but a better buy used.

Half the price used. Just like the RM0002 which you would only get used also.

Yeah you're right, I say that the 3 of them get the Skull, forget the 011, after all it's not so expensive, well at least when it's not your money

Roger you never had or wanted to get a tourbillon RM? They are really awesome for some models, don't like the 25 much though...

Good question. I like the 15 but find the 1/2/3 all too small. One of my grey dealers has a mint 2 in platinum. Love it but too small.

Can't find a well priced aerodyne either. That in carbon would be perfect.
