Richard Mille RM 32

[blaze182]

Ok, so, basically, while I hunt for my perfect Rolex collection, I find myself very often thinking of the RM32 (The red one, from the Expendables film); but I'm not easily swayed to a brand outside Rolex or Patek - because I've had horrible experience with Hublot

I don't know anything about RM - are their movements made in house, or are the movements by another company?

Does anyone have experience with them, or own any? How's reliability and durability for daily wear?

Also, price-wise, whats the rate for the red RM032 variant? Its extremely hard to find online, and the prices gap an awful lot.

I believe the base movement in the 32 is made by Vaucher for RM. I've handled a couple of RM's and found their build quality to be top notch. It's the type of watch that you have to see and try in person to really appreciate it. I would imagine that if you got the titanium version it would be quite durable while I expect the RG and WG versions would show more wear. But movements are easily durable enough for daily wear. By red version you mean red gold version? If so then retail is 195k. Not sure on the "market value" perhaps the RM experts here would be more knowledgeable on that matter.

Edit: Just realized there's no WG version for this.

According to researching images on Google they do a W/G version

Personally, though I respect the brand, I find the dial on this model waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to busy and difficult to read.

Yeah I've been looking through that link Aw15, really nice pieces in there.

I'm after titanium on red bracelet - I think thats what it is?

I have a local AD, will have a look, but its a hefty priced watch I'm looking to do some homework first.

It is busy, but then I don't mind, its definitely not the sort of watch I get to read well haha

My 39 is the same size as the 32, although the case design is rather different - here it is on red!

[blaze182]

Thats really nice - did you buy it from an AD or a seller from here? Hows the weight? A relative told me they're the lightest watches for their size?

I stand corrected

I agree I find the diver chrono to be quite busy

I think you mean titanium w/ red rubber strap. Which makes sense because that's the one I recall Stallone wearing I believe retail on that is around 145k usd.

I bought this from an RM Boutique. For a watch of this size the weight is incredibly low and of course the comfort, being an RM, is the best in the business with the curved casebook.
