 By: Conkers : September 23rd, 2014-22:06
Finally after a long wait it has arrived! I am so excited! You are all experts here, so I won't bore you with the details of what this amazing beast can do! It is of course huge and very fussy, and clearly won't appeal to a lot of people, but I love it an...  

Fantastic news and congrats!

I will be writing more about this watch, and its slightly more complicated sibling in the coming months. But for now, you are the first person I know of to receive one, so my congratulations and my thanks for sharing it here. Andrew H

Wow, I am stunned. What a beauty. Congratulations to you Conkers for an amazing catch on this RM039; first 'real' pictures I've seen and it I can't stop looking! Looks great on your wrist, and assuredly it will keep you occupied while in the air ;) Congra... 

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It amazes me that a 50mm watch of such immense proportions can fit my smallish (7.25 inch) wrist so spectacularly and feel so unobtrusive under a shirt cuff. RM's case design remains peerless in my mind. I compare it... 

Side shot.......

.......as aforementioned. ...  

It's just so cool

I have to admit I immediately went back to re-read the press release on this to be able to grasp the functions... so many components in the slide rule alone! The hours spent on researching the best way to display the indications in a readable fashion, not... 

Finally: Been sitting on these images for years

Conkers, Congratulations on getting a most complicated Richard Mille RM039 watch. Fortunately, you can only test it to a "effective cabin altitude" equivalent to 6000 - 8000 ft in pressurised civilian aircraft even if they flew higher.. If you had a Syber...  

Thanks MTF!

 
 By: Conkers : September 24th, 2014-17:20
The tourbillon is spectacular - over 1000 components.........but little brother is still a complex beast! Thanks for the photos and the extra information.

What a beast!

Wow, this is even more of a beast than the Beast is (Yohan Blake's) Congrats on the new piece! I hesitate to call his a watch as i feel the term Horological Machine is more apt. Does MB&F have all rights to that phrase?

Size

 
 By: Conkers : September 24th, 2014-23:03
The epic scale of this beast is easier to discern in this shot, by reference my wrist is 7.25". ...  

Great watch!!

That's a beast for sure Roger--congrats on a unique one!

Fantastic

Wow Roger you actually got a 39, massive congrats on an amazing piece, what a pick up. It looks spectacular on our wrist and I am certain you will have fun playing around with it - their is just so much going on with the dial on that piece, it is mind bog... 

Thanks everyone!

 
 By: Conkers : September 26th, 2014-18:43
For the nice comments!

Huge congratz Conkers :)

I didn't like the divers' look really but when I saw this one as a project last year I truly found the details'evolution changed it all. It is a very attracting RM and I wish you to wear it as often as you can. Cheers, Mark

Thanks Mark!

I have owned two 28s in the past. I loved them but my better half did not. I showed her a photo of this a year ago expecting the same response but she loved it. Can't quite explain but i was delighted and then the only challenge was getting one. I first o... 

Bizarre!

Fits even better on my right wrist! ...  

very nice!!

 
 By: mjnoumoff : October 7th, 2014-12:05
I wear my watch(es) on my right wrist since I am left handed. never hand an issue. RM39 looks awesome!

Very cool wrist shot!

 
 By: BABKA : December 29th, 2014-21:57
I hope to one day see this in the flesh. Congrats and ENJOY!

Thanks!

 
 By: Conkers : December 30th, 2014-17:31
Thanks, it still gets more wrist time than all my other watches, so the novelty has not worn off yet!

watch shirt cuff??

 
 By: mjnoumoff : January 2nd, 2015-16:16
ANY remote chance you can wear the watch with a suit?

No problem!

 
 By: Conkers : January 2nd, 2015-18:46
I wear double cuff shirts to work every day - I normally wear chain cufflinks which give a bit more space than "pivot" cufflinks. I don't think there's any chance of wearing this with a regular single cuff shirt!!!

very true!
