I could live with it on my 6.7 wrist. The height can make more problem to be used to than width and length.

I tried on the RM11. I have relatively small wrists...but I thought it looked ok. What do you think?

RM 011 is THE most comfortable watch I've ever owned. I have a 6.5" wrist and it fits perfect (thanks to the unique strap system).

If you buy one you will absolutely LOVE it...C O N G R A T S in advance

Visited RM Paris boutique today. Email them yesterday and miss Olga mailed me that I'm welcome to visit anytime today. It was actually their first work day.

At the front window they display only Grosjean 050 g sensor.

Inside, beside diver and ladies models that I'm not familiar with, they have 011 brown ceramic, 011 ntpt black night, 011 RG, 030 st. Tropez, Bubba tourbillon with green ceramic bezel, and all white Bubba 055...

Kindness, gentleness and professionalism of staff is beyond everything I experienced. They treated me like I'm a customer who owns 10 Milles of witch 5 are tourbillons.

Mr. Stuart get from display 055 Bubba and brown ceramic 011. No pic can do justice to sport elegance of brown bezel and gold pushers.

Left after an hour of amazing experience with n1 of Richard Mille magazine and RAKE RM special edition...

It's nice to hear the service is great, the 2 worse for me in Paris are the Panerai boutique, went a few times, if outside it's very hot inside, without air conditioner, it's freezing because the employees are icebergs, big ones like the one that sank the Titanic, in 10 seconds they make you feel like a bum, the second worse in Paris was the Ap boutique, I went with another TRF member, we asked to see a few models, 2 in fact but didn't stay long, I had the impression that we were bothering him more than anything. I was surprised at how the AP boutique is small, would have thought that in a city like Paris it's better to have a big flagship, most of the big brands have one, than a very small one…

Anyways the new one, in 8-10 months if I get it right, wonder who had the idea of being without a boutique in Paris for almost a year, will surely be much better...

Interesting. Not on HK price list (only titanium one) whereas the Mancini RG is in plentiful supply and has been in Asia available for at least 18 months. I believe the latter is now discontinued though.

FedEx guy caught just as I was about to leave for work. A few quick and dirty pics attached before I had to run. So excited to finally have this bad boy on my wrist! Look forward to playing with it tonight at home and getting used to size.

Thanks to Texex91 for helping me with my several questions and most importantly to Conkers without whom I would not be able to have my grail today. Now if someone wants to show me how to set this thing, that'd be great!

Happy to help. There is no adjuster for the month so if the wrong month is showing you need to use the quick set day function to cycle through. Set it first to the day before today then wind the hands through the last 24 hours and then it will be synced correctly for the correct 12 hour cycle.

And to add to this, if you notice that the date is changing only every 36 hours (common at first), you will need to cycle through three days (slowly) and it should start to grab the date every 24 hours. Don't panic if you notice this.

Enjoy that beauty

Agree with Conkers and Texex. Congrats on a marvelous timepiece!

Yes I have seen it but I prefer the earlier tourbillon designs where the tourbillon is much more visible.
