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

**OFFICIAL RICHARD MILLE PIC THREAD (and daily snap shots)**

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

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.

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

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 :-)

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!

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.

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.
