That's one very cool watch. As for something to compliment it, a Platona for sure. It's the opposite in weight. Enjoy it in good health.

Oh my go, what have i done! So, i made the mistake of trying on a few RMs at the boutiques in London, and yes it probably took me a total of 3 seconds to decide i had to have one. After dithering between an RM10 or RM30, both titanium, i found a baby Nada...  

Welcome here and congratulations. After A Titanium RM why not a JLC MR Ti?

;) Here you are... Minute Repeater, 15 Days power reserve, Torquemeter and titanium grade 5 polished case. A technical and aesthetical beast. Best, Nicolas ...  

wow, seriously nice JLC sir....

wow, thats lovely, never seen one before. Very classy. just had my 35 put on a rubber strap, prefer the way its wears a bit. excuse for more dodgy pictures! ...  

You're facing what all RM owners have faced I guess

...or even people who just tried them: when you get one, you really feel you want another one. I think it is not redundant at all. First, a warm welcome on PuristSPro to you and congratulations for your new RM035-1! Thanks for sharing this event with us. ...  

If only there were fewer choices!

Thanks for the kind words Mark. I have lots of chronographs, simple watches made complicated if you like. However, with RM I was drawn to the simpler RMs, so things like the RM10, which i preferred to the RM29, and also the RM30, and potentially also the ... 

Yes, the RM010 is very attracting

 
 By: Mark in Paris : September 5th, 2015-14:48
and I also prefer it to the RM029. I think that you indeed have to take your time to see other models when you're in NYC. Cheers, Mark

Congratulations on your Richard Mille - Rafa.

These first 3 are keepers, unless necessity dictates a sale.... AP ROO Black Themes Panerai PM311 Monopulsante 8 days IWC Miramar Pilot The other 4 i am looking to lose, just don't wear them, and will help with a second RM! It is quite crazy how much more...  

Aaargh... you sold the PAM 8 Mare Nostrum? That's a keeper!

 
 By: amanico : September 6th, 2015-00:45
One of the nicest Chrono from Panerai, maybe the epitome of Panerai Chronographs. Best, Nicolas

no, not sold yet.....agreed on the PAM311 though, its superb

 
 By: sandeepbhatia : September 6th, 2015-00:58
The Panerai 311 was more of my first proper watches, and while i'm no expert in movements etc, it does seem to operate amazingly well, its buttery smooth, and the 8 days is tremendous - it really does last 8 days! And the fact that its titanium makes it s... 

Congrats!

Many congrats, first RM always special!! I think the 11 should be next and then with two tonneau pieces, you can dare to be different and go with one of the round case models!

Huge congrats!

Trust me; I'm a doctor!

Sandeep, Hang on to your horses! Hold your plums! Mighty congratulations on the first Richard Mille watch but let's not get carried away with enthusiasm. Indeed, sell off any watches that you don't use...by definition, they don't even qualify as man-jewel... 

Very good point

 
 By: sandeepbhatia : September 7th, 2015-01:33
I did have that thought, will most likely keep the Mare Nostrum for those purposes. No great need to sell the others, I just don\'t see the point of them sitting in my drawer as you say. Just sold an old Tag That was gathering dust, I actually find sellin... 

Welcome! Congratulations! And a wonderful first watch...

to get from RM. I might also add a little fortunate as I know the RM035-01 is in high demand and short supply! Usually one of the first watches to go once in at a Boutique or Dealer. Enjoy it in the very best of health. Welcome to the forum! Somewhere in ... 

really great piece, in order to give you advice...

the RM London Boutique is a great place to browse the wonderful offerings from RM - you are a lucky guy to walk out with that on your wrist, enjoy it look great on your wrist.

Well chosen!

While I'm not a huge RM fan I must say the carbon fiber works extraordinarily well in this watch.

a good choice

 
 By: andes : October 1st, 2015-01:18
Yes, RM has such magic. I am a fan, too.

Welcome
