Richard Mille RM 035
Discussion
Quite simply the most impressive and coolest watch I have ever seen. I knew it would be light but it took me by surprise how feather weight it really is. You can see clearly how it's been engineered to be as light, but as tough as possible. Extremely comfortable too, and slightly smaller case than I expected - although I was pleased I could just about pull it off on my girly wrists!
What do people think of this one?! A better way to spend your £50k than on a Platinum Daytona maybe?......

Interesting watches, tried a couple on in a shop in North London, but I thought:
1. As mentioned earlier, the faces are hard to read. If you look at something like a Daytona or Speedmaster they are relatively complex but clean designs
2. They seem to use rubber straps a lot, but with gold or white gold cases. On the example I tried it felt like the watch is too heavy for the strap.
3. Generally too large unless you have a wrist like Hulk Hogan / Lennox Lewis
Point 1 agreed.1. As mentioned earlier, the faces are hard to read. If you look at something like a Daytona or Speedmaster they are relatively complex but clean designs
2. They seem to use rubber straps a lot, but with gold or white gold cases. On the example I tried it felt like the watch is too heavy for the strap.
3. Generally too large unless you have a wrist like Hulk Hogan / Lennox Lewis
Point 2 - disagree, the case of this watch is so light you barely feel you have it on, so the rubber strap is the perfect accompaniment (the movement on it's own is 4 grams!)
Point 3 - I always thought they were massive too but this one is not - it's about 39mm across and the case back is slightly curved so it sits really nicely on the wrist.

I hope to God, Alex, that someone had a gun to your head when you bought that, and it wasn't a voluntary decision?
If not, then you probably best look away at this point....5.....4......3.....
Jesus that's utterly crass and a
eyesore.
I've yet to see one decent looking, worthy of existence, RM design, irrespective of price.
I'm probably still the bigger materials we between us, but by Christ I'd design a skeleton movement that at least lets you see the time of day/night easily, without melting your brain during the process, due to visceral overload.
Never ceases to amaze me how so many gullible people, with deep-pockets, can be so easily parted with their wealth, in exchange for expensive tat.
You can look back now Alex, assuming you're not sitting quivering in the corner, a shell of the man you were a few hours ago!

The watch isn't mine, but I can honestly say I've never come cross any watch I'd rather spend my virtual £50k on.
Having said that, I know the £50k figure is bring thrown around a lot but that's only the value of it 2nd hand. New they were about £70k if I'm not mistake.....I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here!
