You might be able to grab one for $1.9M if that would help Elliot

I am not very familiar with RM models. Quick question to those who know the brand well, does it have an entry level and/or a classic model likes of Nautulius/RO that one should look at?

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

[QUOTE=archer75;6701403]I am not very familiar with RM models. Quick question to those who know the brand well, does it have an entry level but a classic model likes of Nautulius/RO that one should look at?
The other day I tried RM023 amongst the few models that the dealer had and they did not seem that knowledgeable and only stated it is an entry level model? Not sure how it stands out in RM collection.

Entry level and RM don't even go in the same sentence. However, which model would I suggest will hold up longer term price wise...011 (however now discontinued and a new model is coming out). Other models to consider are 035 and 055.

The 023 and several others are at AD's for a reason.

With RM, do not chase the 'well it's a better price' theory, as you will probably regret it later.

Glad to see you are looking into RM...you will love it. But PLEASE do your homework or ask away right here.

Looks like more silver flake in it. Could be a bad photo as well.

Would look better on velcro strap IMHO.

Looks like a mother of pearl type of effect going on with the NTPT case. Still much prefer the 35 case based on those pics.

I hope that is a bad photo, because it is not very exciting. IMO

Sadly the best one has been pulled. The unique carbon 25 I mentioned before.

Not into the red TPT, but the carbon NTPT version with clear case back would be interesting.

Not enough for me to switch from my current 035, but it's nice.

As strange as it sounds, I kinda prefer the NTPT solid back in manual wind (vs new auto with clear).

However, could see attraction to either version and look forward to seeing both new versions in person.
