Which strap do you wear on your RMs?

Sep 09, 2011,04:26 AM
 

On my RM010 WG, I have rapidly replaced the standard black strap by the black vented rubber (sport look) and the black croc (dressy look).
But last week I tried to innovate a bit, and tried on a light brown croc. To my surprise, the brown croc (which is an obvious fit for the RG version) is also an "interesting" choice on the white gold.
What do you think about this combination?
Do you have some "out of the ordinary" photos to share?

Thanks.

The colours go well, but personally since getting my first vented rubber strap on my 010, I just cannot get on with any of the other straps at all. My 10, both11's/004/002 all wear the same style rubber strap, just cannot get on with anything else. Proble...  

I've also asked that several times...

And I think RM will, one day, release a croc with a thicker portion integrating into the case like the vented rubber ones. Perhaps, slits or holes on croc would look stupendous too as on some Roger Dubuis pieces and the infamous RB2 AP in titanium.

Agree

Yes Chris, I totally agree on your point. A thick croc strap would be great. My opinion on why they still haven't done it: either they have tried and decided it does not look as good as we think it would, or they are just too busy working on new watch mod... 

Interesting you said that coz I share the same issue and in fact

Mal0ne -- very nice! Did you just order the white strap from a Richard Mille authorized dealer?

......the strap on my first RM, a 005, in about 2003 I think it must have been. Boy have their straps come a long way since then - the strap on the 5 lasted 2-3 months before splitting at the interface with the case. Much better now, but agree with all th... 

100% agree [nt]

I could not have said this better myself - had the same combination with my RM005, made the same experiences and today I wear my RM011 with the vented rubber strap. I saw a picture with many additional straps in different colors in this Forum - think it w... 

Yes RM

Yes contact any RM boutique mine normally gets straps in pretty quickly once ordered. For the RM010 I think rubber strap colour's are only Blue, Red, Black, White....I could be wrong though. ...  

Delays.......
