Richard Mille

Loving the RM28, far better in person, the design detail is superb and its very comfortable to wear...few pics, you will see I was checking it was indeed waterproof, this is a 'holiday' scuba/beach watch for me, so looking forward to using it in that way.Also went out on a 20 mile mountain bike ride in pouring rain, thing got covered in mud & grit & soaked ..worked perfectly and scrubbed back up ok too

Really liking the watch, feels like it should for the purpose intended

theres nothing better than using your watch for what it was made for   nice pictures  love the water shots any mud shots?

Congratulations on acquiring such an amazing watch. Looking forward to seeing more of it in the wild.

congrats on a great acquisition, and thanks for the post.

Cheers

...I was absolutley cakked up in the stuff and washed myself,bike & watch off under the hose pipe before I dared go anywhere near the camera!. I am not really intending to get it quite so muddy again anyway as it was a pig to clean up, there are so many ridges, screwholes ( 22 on the bezel alone ) etc to get gunk out of. To be fair to RM, I dont really think it has been designed for muddy mountain biking, rather the oceans. which are obviously cleaner than the yorkshire moors!

All those ridges/flanges & screwholes etc are what gives the watch great character in the flesh, IMHO RM has done a fantastic job of 'Milleising' a drivers watch..yes its obviously a divers watch when you see it, but unlike any I have seen before, and yet it is very obvious to watch enthusiasts that it is an RM. Size wise I am fine with it, fits my wrist perfectly and feels great to wear, lightweight & as with all RM's it sits perfectly, belying its size. The way the strap meets the case and the way they both complement each other is a fantastic design, I am so pleased to see RM design in this way like the strap is at one with the case...I have always seen the straps as a bit of an after thought on the Tonneau cases until the rubber straps came along, as most straps just seemed too thin to complement the great lines of the cases....not so with the RM28, it is a beautiful coherrent desgin.

Another thing I notice is the winder shoulders, they really finish the watch off, again giving a lovely coherrent desgin across the whole case & strap...I do not know why they have left the shoulders off the RM25, as it just looks a bit 'wrong' to me after seeing the RM28...

Anyway really like the watch as you may gather, Im sure some will not like the design at all, which is perfectly understandable, we are all differant, I am very much looking forward to a sunny break somewhere to get some beach sand/pool/scuba/snorkelling in before too long ...this watch simply insists I do!!

Big thanks to Denis at th RM boutique in Paris, top bloke, absolute pleasure dealing with him, nothing at all was too much trouble, he flew across from France to meet me and deliver this piece...knowledgable & gracious, certainly my RM contact of choice going forward, cannot recommend him enough

 

Nice shots as well.

Glad you are enjoying the RM028.  I was very surprised when I tried one on just how comfortable and well weighted the watch was on the wrist.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Oh, and what a fantastic watch!

I had the opportunity to try one on recently and it is even more spectacular in person. Its good to see it being "used"

Enjoy it and wear it in good health!

I finally saw the Richard Mille RM028 diving watch in the flesh a few days ago, and it definitely looks better in person than in the pictures, as does practically every RM watch.  The construction of the RM028 felt extremely solid and precise, especially the bezel. 

I really love how you have to press the 2 opposing buttons on the bezel to turn the bezel.  Great feature and tactile feel is amazing.

Also, I tried th RM028 on my small 6.75" wrist and I feel I can pull it off even tthough the non-bendable part of the strap which connects to the case makes it wear slightly larger.  I definitely need to strap the RM028 really tight though.

Cheers,
Anthony
