Jewel Material
I bought a new RM005 in RG last month from an AD. I have noticed recently in some of the pictures on this site that some of the watches appear to have red jewels(rubies) and others have clear jewels. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Did RM change the material of the jewels in the movement? Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
Victor
jewels changed
RM decided to change out the jewels from red to white. If you ever send your watch in for service, they will switch it out for white.
thanks for the info
Do you know if they just changed the color, or the material? My watch has the clear jewels.
thanks again
Victor
not always..
My RM05 just back from RM service center for service yesterday but they dont change the red jewels.
Various changes
Hello all,
Actually, the jewels have been changed a few times already in the 005 and 010 series; for a while there were even black ones used.
So it is not totally clear if the white jewels will always be used as such..
I think it is just something having to do with Richard's interest in trying things out. Like the different screws used in the very first RM014's that were switched back to
the regular ones after the first few left the workshop.
Cheers all,
Theodore

Thanks Theodore - have been in transit, so had little time to
answer the question. Hope all is well with you.

Hi may I know when the production dates are for the red jewels vs the clear ones?
