Some maybe, but for me there is nothing ugly in the 27 second and especially third editions, the 035 and 055 models, can't see what is ugly about them but you are entitled to your opinion, I also didn't like them when I didn't know the brand, but now I find some models, the ones mentioned, really awesome, as well as this model, and at those weights it is unbelievable IMHO

For 900K I would get something else, but yeah, it's quite sick indeed

I am continued to be impressed by RM's ability to push for what people will pay for their watches. The APRP split second tourbillon movement have remained essentially the same and which RM used to charge half million for it (which I thought was crazy to begin with), but now they just slap on new fancy carbon cases and it's a million dollar watch.
