Richard Mille

Richard Mille Competition: QUESTION 3:

Dec 28, 2006,13:27 PM

Up for grabs this time: three Richard Mille Ipods: a definite 'must' for any Richard Mille enthusiast! The Ipod has 8 gigs of memory! (Ipod is a registered trademark of Apple; the Ipod is under warranty from Apple). For this, you should be at one with your favourite search engine! Question: Which 'Head(s) of State (however defined: President, Prime Minister, Royal) owns and wears a Richard Mille watch?' (To win, you must post a photo of the said Head of State wearing the RM and the RM must be clearly visible). Obviously, if one person posts, the next two to copy and post thereafter will also win (sorry - it is the nature of the web). I already possess a photo with at least one Head of State wearing a RM. If this one proves to be a little too difficult, then Ill post another tie-break question at some point in the future. Good luck to everyone and thanks for taking part. Andrew H

The watch and the wearer

I believe the answer to this question is HRH Sultan Mizan Zain al Abaidin of Malaysia as seen at the Perini Navi Cup with Richard Mille himself and Dominique Guenat. R

ALL - PLEASE NOTE: regarding this shot of his Highness, the watch

By: 219 : December 30th, 2006-11:53

he had on was a de Witt - I know as I took the picture and was next to his Highness during the day. I noted it in my Perini Navi report in response to a question from Allen: watchprosite.com watchprosite.com At this time, I still do not know whether or no...

PS - the guy to the right (in the black t-shirt) is wearing a Richard Mille! :) nt.

Looks to me like Stewella may have beaten you to it.... :) perhaps a 4th IPOD might be necessary for the tie

We will have to get Bill to tell us the exact time stamp

By: Stewella : December 28th, 2006-16:53

Come on, that is not a RM watch.

By: Allen : December 28th, 2006-16:51

I really don't think so either.

By: SteveH : December 28th, 2006-16:58

It could be

By: AnthonyTsai : December 28th, 2006-19:17

If it's not one of his RM-0xx models, then it could be the Richard Mille Le Mans Classic made in 2002 which do not look like his current RM-0xx models. - Anthony network54.com +-

That means it's not clearly visible then...

By: Allen : December 28th, 2006-19:38

By: AnthonyTsai : December 28th, 2006-19:58

Here is my answer

By: Chris Agostino : December 29th, 2006-03:38

Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, but with a better picture? I know this photo might just be for the event and may not truly indicate that he actually owns and wears a RM, but I thought it was a better shot of the watch. We'll see if it floats (no pun intended)...

well, not luck with the picture

By: Chris Agostino : December 29th, 2006-03:40

I'll try again......

Sorry - I think I posted wrong picture

Thanks for the pointer, Thomas. Andrew's post mentioning the DeWitt definitely confirmed my doubts that it was the Sultan of Malaysia. I then started searching the Sultan of Brunei. I have about 200megs of his pics and about 150megs of Prince Andrew and A...
