toowoundup shares a memorable and anxiety-inducing experience from his watch collecting journey: receiving the wrong Richard Mille from a dealer. This post captures the unexpected twists and turns that can occur when acquiring high-value timepieces, highlighting the emotional rollercoaster from excitement to shock when a different, less expensive model arrived.
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.
