IMPORTANT - please all read.

Dear All

I am sorry that the information on these models had to appear on the Purists in this way.  The Purists ALWAYS HAVE, and ALWAYS WILL, respect moratorium dates on new product releases.  To suggest otherwise is simply a statement of ignorance on the parties that do so.

As to Valery's post.  He did get the photos off another web site (the date/time stamps will show that).  Someone else leaked the photos and then Valery simply copied and posted here.  Hence, accusations made on other web sites are simply aimed, not at us, but the offending web site that leaked the information.

I have been in possession of the information on these watches for some time.  I have seen the RM011 grow in terms of development since last year and despite questions to me on this forum, I have never leaked any information about the watch.  I have had a chat with Theodore Diehl (RM Press Relations Officer) and understandably he is frustrated and cross at the situation.  Months (a year) of planning has all gone. 

In future, when new models are about to be released, I would appreciate that even if members of this forum do come into possession of photos of the watches, that they CHECK WITH ME first before posting.  I have no pride in this.  However, I will not see us break the moratorium dates.  In this instance, I have been out of pocket for the past 24 hours or so.  Otherwise, I would have attempted to pull the post before anyone could see it. 

While I appreciate the enthusiasm and loyalty of the RM enthusiasts here, as this is what keeps me as the Moderator, PLEASE, do not move to post about upcoming or new products without checking with me (by email) first.

Thank you for your understanding.  As soon as I can, Ill post the technical details and other thoughts on the RM011 and RM016.
