RM 035 Minor changes, and coating corrosion?!
Ciao all on this passion filled world of Richard Mille! Trust you all had a great start to the week! A few changes i'd like to point out that has seem to occurred to the RM 035 even before the productions models are out. I do not know whether this are all...
RM 035 under development
Hello Stephen, The materials have been changed indeed. They are not the same, although they are related, being alloys also containing Magnesium and Aluminum as you have correctly pointed out already! It must be remembered that the RM035 has not officially...
An answer more than i ever asked for!
Hi there Theodore! 1st of all i just want to say it is such an honour to receive a direct reply from no one else but the great Theodore himself! I am glad to hear that the materials have changed for the better, and if indeed they are done such that to not...
Thanks Theodore and my apologies for being late around here!
You have already said all that I could say, and far more eloquently than my words would. Just to reiterate, the RM035 is still in development. I saw a very early version of it and when photos of the prototype started to surface on the web, I was allowed t...
Maybe it's just me
But i would rather prefer the final product that is good, and while being part of the creation process must have been cool, the sight of seeing the corrosion made my skin itch even. But it's reassuring to know that Richard will not be satisfied until ever...
Having designed watches right the way through from a blank....
sheet of paper to the technicalities of their manufacture (implementing 2 horological patents as we did so) I can verify that prototypes are indeed 'a work in progress' so to speak. However. I do think it's silly that RM should let such pieces go on the o...
You are very blessed Tom
And yes, for a holidays i would say RM is the way to go! Everyday, anyway! Ciao and enjoy your vacation! Stephen
Yes I am and I know...
it's not fair but someones gotta do it so it may as well be me!!!!
I would think the owner is definitely lucky...
If anything, I would think it is quite a special experience to take possession of a prototype piece before the production specifications have been finalized - the owner is, in a sense, getting an opportunity to become directly involved in the production p...
I do agree on the part about his involvement in the creation process
But what i find him to be "unlucky" about is that he bidded for this watch, during a charity auction and naturally fought against others so that he could win it, and naturally expected a "good" product. While i am aware that RM does hand out prototypes to...
I have some prototypes....
of watches I designed for a company which I sold a few of but I stated clearly that they were made of brass and that they would not wear like steel watches and that the rhodium plate would wear off with excessive wear. If nothing was stated I think RM nee...
Always avoid buying the first...
Very interesting news Stephen. Keep us posted. Many individuals like to be the one who experiences the first. First to have the all new upcoming Porsche 911 for instance. Personally, while I agree it is nice to have it before anyone else does, I truly bel...
i'm dropping my jaws bro
In a good way of course! Time and time again we ALWAYS seem to strike at the same thoughts and opinions! Yes, it is true that we shall always have people clamouring over novelties. About the new Porsche 911, what makes me alarmingly worried is that it see...
Dropping my jaws...
I'm dropping my jaws too... On the new news about the Porsche PDK shifters going backwards... I too like to have one upshift paddle on the right and downshift on the left. No toggle switches for me please! This is indeed bad news. Attending a Porsche even...
