The Yohan Blake 61 design has been on my mind...love the slightly odd case shape and the clean lines of this one.

Should have seen us trying these pieces on at the dealer.

I am pleased to announce that I can finally post an incoming to this awesome thread. Got this bad boy just in for my birthday. I was going to get an 02 but there was this whole thing with a dishonest AD but I dont want to get into that, to be honest I wanted the 01 to begin with but everyone told me it was discontinued. Major thanks to DavidSW for finding me this brand new one. RM is on a whole other spectrum just spectacular I am speechless and very pleased with this piece. I would like to apologize in advance for the quality of photos.

Thank you gentlemen I appreciate your kind words. @conkers im not sure if this was directly rm's fault I think it was just an overambitious salesperson making empty promises.

Looks like some Hublot or some other knock off--it's not RM.

It's hard to get a good pic off the tv with any detail. Looked like the shape of a RM but I trust your opinion more than mine.

Dead giveaway, beside the fact it's ugly, RM's don't have lug holes.

Hey guys I have a question for you rm35 owners for the manual movements does the crown tighten when it is fully wound? Because ive tried fully winding it and its still loose. Another question do you know if you can still change the crown rubber? Ive heard from a friend that they dont do it anymore. Any truth behind that?
