Had a chance to check out the Rafa today! Wow is this thing comfortable! Lightest watch I've ever handled by miles. Love that it's on Velcro, the juxtaposition is just fantastic

Buy right upfront and you're fine. The hot RM011's flip pretty quick and at decent prices

Dealer bids are definitely firming, if bought well, then no major hits. The one exception is where you have had to pay a strong price from an RM boutique to get a very special piece - their discounts are much less than ADs.

I just pulled the trigger on my first RM11. Dumped a few of my AP's actually to fund this purchase. Pics to follow tomorrow when I pick the piece up :) :) :)

Just saw Kevin hart wearing a RM on jimmy Fallon. We already know Kevin is a WIS and he has been shown wearing a gorgeous PP 5980 tt.

Went to the RM store in Crystals in Vegas today after the new AP store. It was the first time I ever saw an RM in the flesh. They were definitely different!

I tried that Rafa on at Cellini in NYC, but not sure they can meet your price needs.

Gagan navani often has some for sale in ny as well. Elite time.

Hopefully some owners will chime in to assist

There are not many Mille dealers in US. If you go to the Mille website you can see the AD's--which I would start calling, as each has different inventory and discounts.

You are making great decision if you buy one. Killer watch.

Pretty sure Gagan has one, if not two RM11's at the moment. I can't recommend him as a dealer enough; got two APs from him already and unfortunately passed on an RM10 in gold from him a couple years ago when I could've had it in the low 40s.

PM me if you want his contact info.

The flower RM tourbillon got most attention at SIHH, but there is a 100LE all black Yohan Blake....

Nobody here is a fan of the divers? They've been growing on me lately.
