This looks to be another

This looks to be another fantastic year for RM. Even though quite upsetting for the fans.
I never thought I would be saying this but those ladies watches are the highlights for me this year.
The Natalie Portman watch is my favourite. As impressive as it was at first glance, I thought that it's another Celtic Knot, Dragon or Panda with an Onyx baseplate, but then I saw the back and WOW that spiders web is phenomenal! Limited to just 20 pieces aswell! That's even less than the RM009. Must be hard to make.
The metal bracelet on the new RM007 is a terrific design. I was always cautious about how well a metal bracelet would look on an RM (The one-off RM011 Starck didn't look very practical) But I am very pleased. I think it's very hard for a brand to create a bracelet that is iconic and only a handful have done so (Rolex, Omega, Breitling IMHO) The use of screws in the links is genius and those polished bevelled edges that continue around the whole bracelet probably look stunning in person!
I'm sure you will be allowed to take a few pics of the RM039. That watch could never be copied to any degree of accuracy, even RM struggled to make it. Being the most complex watch RM has ever created and with such long delays I'm sure the final price must be north of the RM056 by now!
I must warn you that I've already seen a few wrist pics from SIHH already, I don't know how they've been taken but they are doing rounds on the internet.
Thanks for the pics Andrew. Been passionately waiting since 8.30am to see some news.
All the best
