Many congrats Ken
Yeah, I love the RDM. Got mine with a silver dial, but this black dial is something special my friend! You are absolutely right about those proportions; real classy. And I love the hands of this watch. The subdials never bothered me, I think the dial is very balanced. I know something next for your your journey; how about a 37 mm black dial perpetual date huh? Or even better, the black dial Grande Memovox. This is going to be some journey my man.
Cheers,
Starman
OOPS--I did it again...Black RDM!
I've seen wrist shot after wrist shot, glamour photo after glamour photo, and never developed any passion for the good ol' RDM. I always thought the subdials looked a little awkward, with strange proportions and odd placement. Well, I was wrong. But I nee...

Ken, you are on a roll! :-)
Congrats! Looks great – I must say I prefer the black dial on the RDM. So much going on, on the dial – in silver it tends to blur IMO. Black gives it more contrast. Tan croco, nice – that’s the way JLC presented the black dialled RDM back in 2000. Next in...
Master Moon?
Thanks for your comments, Blomman. I think I must relax for a while. I owned a rose gold Master Moon at one point but foolishly gave it up. I think I was afraid of the eventual servicing tariff! I would like to find a first generation Master Geo at some p...
True!
It’s easy to always be on the run for the next one, and not appreciate what you already have in your box! I have rediscovered some of my older watches by writing about them here Best Blomman
Hi Fellow RDMer :-)
Congratulations for the acquisition, Ken!!! And I do want to know where you picked it up: please, send me a PM. What do you and Starman think of us starting a RDM pictures thread? Best regards! Your Fellow RDMer
Great Pick up!
Congratulations Ken!! I ordered my RDM (silver dial) couple weeks ago and I am waiting for it to arrive anytime soon!! I can't wait to receive mine! Btw, what strap is that? is that OEM? Love the strap as well!
Strap is JLC Curved End Croc
Thanks for your comments. I don't recall where I picked up the strap, but whenever I see one for sale, I grab it. Can't have too many spares! Best of luck with your new RDM. It's interesting that this is the only 37mm model from the older range that JLC c...
JLC just likes wine tasting...
... hi Ken, this is very stunning watch. for me i find the dial is actaully quite balanced with three small sub-dials, it looks so good on black rather than on silver. it is interesting that JLC likes a wine, you should taste a bit, leave it to expose to ...
Bravo, Ken!
This RDM is superb, and gains a bit of strenght with this black dial. I love it! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Nice catch, Ken
Nice catch indeed! I am not so familiar with the RDM, what is the diamater Ken? Same as one earlier comment, i would probably prefer to waer it on a black croco strap. But then...there is something about diversity. Best, Stefan
