As might be expected, there were a number of other RM's at the Perini Navi Cup on the wrists of attendees. I spotted a total of 5: one RM010, one RM004 (no prizes for guessing who that belonged to ), one RM005-FM ti, and two (!) RM007's. In particular, the RM007's caught my eye and here is a watch that is often overlooked. Ill try and post something on that soon.
Thanks Guy - what I do like about the croco strap is the way it 'ages'

on the wrist and the patina it gains from being worn. There has to be some form of treatment that Richard Mille is using, or someone who makes them is using, to get croco straps that seem not to absorb arm perspiration, and yet age is such distinguished way. I know that the croco strap is 'backed' with croco leather too, but there seems more to it than that!
I will try to investigate!

Thanks Wootichai - you know the therapy advice where to get

over an addiction, you have to overkill: for example, smoking - being locked in a room with nothing more than cigarettes for 24 hours and see how you feel! Well, it doesnt work in this case! I can still look at RM watches again, and again, and again....
It surely would look fabulous Allen. Remember, please

post pics here when you do get your RM014. If you need the yacht, get your name down soon. Even after plans are agreed, the wait time for contruction is around 3 to 4 years! Watch first!
they give such a good impression when one is not so familiar
with the watch.
(Still have'nt had this watch in my hands)
Thanks for posting these shots.

Richard Mille watches in there natural habitat....what a joy to see..!! Basking in the sun enjoying the scenery...great pics.
Wrist shots do make a difference and the angles also show off the size perfectly...anymore of the RM010..??
Did any of those wrists belong to you Andrew..?
Yours,
Andy.
I will search and see if any of the RM010 are around. I might note that...

I hope to post a large write-up of the movement manufacture for the RM010 in the very near future. Everything from the starting piece of titanium to the end product. Give me a little time.
My wrist shots were the ones with the RM014 . I am still in mourning on having to hand it back (crying uncontrolably does not become me!).
the first pic is just what I was hoping for as it shows the way the face sits in the case and also how the watch sits on the wrist perfectly...not too big or small.
Then the third pic show's the skeletinisation which is a BIG draw for me in this piece over the 005. Is it sufficient to show the rotor going round at the back..?? I think it hides the balance wheel which is a slight shame but you can't have your cake and eat it.
Thanks again and sorry for being so demanding.
Andy.
