Richard Mille Skull!
Discussion
I’m a lucky man, have lusted after one of these for ages, Xmas coming, dropped a few hints and the Mrs has delivered the goods!
WEIGHT:
A little less than you’d think, like when you first pick up a Rolex Datejust, you’re expecting slightly more heft! It certainly is a lot lighter than you would expect but that suits me fine as I am not a real strong guy
MOVEMENT:
Crisp clear ticks from second to second, none of this ‘sweeping’ as seen on my lesser watches such as the Omega Seamaster. It’s been under the tree for days and still was working fine when I opened it so the kinetic movement must hold a lot of energy
LOOK:
This is where it comes into it’s own. A really distinct and breathtaking appearance, Richard Mille really knows a thing about how to make something special. None of my family liked it but that’s a good thing! Reminds me of my old Alexander McQueen clothes from back in the day before he topped himself, with atmospheric skulls on everything. Amazing.
BRACELET:
This is where I am not so pleased. It is a rubber one a little like as seen on Hublot Big Bang bit it doesn’t quite match my expectations for a watch of this price. I may, in time, look into an alternative, I’m potentially selling the Granturismo in the new year so could put the proceeds towards this
PICS:
Yes yes I know, here it is sorry for the terrible shot, I’m no David Bellamy with the old camera, 2 left eyes!
Merry Xmas everybody

It's either the worst joke in PH history or the OP thought he'd get away with it. £500k watches don't go without scrutiny. Can't wait to see how this thread unfolds.....
Is it not a follow up to the other thread where someone was boasting about their hideous Richard Mille collection and the OP ordered a knock off for a laugh?AlexC1981 said:
No fake, it's a genuine Skone, it says so right on the front. 
Worth every penny then https://bigupgadgets.com/uk/skone-3987-luminous-ho...
This gets funnier -
He titles the thread 'Richard Mille skull' watch and says how lucky he is to have it when the watch is labelled 'skone'
He then posts a picture of the 'skone' watch which is a rip off of the RM design and it's a £17 watch - wow, really lucky.
And he says his Omega seamaster is a lesser watch.......
All I can say is you must have had a great Christmas - how much alcohol...

It seems pretty obvious to me that he's trying to be funny, rather then serious.Crisp clear ticks from second to second, none of this ‘sweeping’ as seen on my lesser watches such as the Omega Seamaster.
