In a collecting journey often fraught with unexpected turns, toowoundup shares a particularly heart-stopping experience involving a Richard Mille acquisition. His account highlights the critical importance of vigilance and clear communication in high-value transactions, even with trusted dealers. This incident serves as a potent reminder that even the most anticipated deliveries can present unforeseen challenges, underscoring the emotional and financial stakes involved in luxury watch collecting.
Richard Mille RM005 Automatic
The RM005 represents Richard Mille's automatic offering within the RM 005 series, produced from 2004 to 2012. This reference establishes the foundational automatic complications in Richard Mille's catalog during the brand's early production years.
The 38mm titanium case houses the RMUL1 automatic caliber, providing 55 hours of power reserve. The watch features a skeletonized dial construction with sapphire crystal and fixed bezel. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the watch is fitted with a rubber strap.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's automatic movement technology in a titanium case format. The RM005's eight-year production run and skeletonized dial execution position it as an accessible entry point into the brand's automatic offerings from this period.
It was quite a feeling
I've had something not dissimilar where the dealer screwed me around for months and then the credit card company wouldn't help me since it was past my 90 days to make a claim.
Definitely not swimming with this, RM's usually have terrible water resistance.
I don't got the dough to play the RM boutique game haha
But when the seller is reliable there is no worries.
Someone elseโs BNIB watch๐
