Richard Mille

And the reasons for the comments about the bling.  It's interesting to know that my gf is starting to show an interest in the base movement with a slightly less focus on the diamonds.  Thanks again for the review, I'll have her read it and see what happens

Ping, you are to be heartily congratulated on this great review of a watch which admittedly has escaped my notice, and likely that of others as well, until now.  What a stunning timepiece!  You know I'm a sucker for the "little things" -- those details make or break a watch for me.  The RM007 (the model # is tantalizing for me, a huge James Bond fan) is chock full of beautiful details that make me now lust for one.  I love the shape of the crown, the unique bezel screws, the pinhole view into the gear train from the dial side, the micro-balls and I could go on...

I generally dislike ladies watches, but this one is a true delight!  Thank you for a wonderful read, and thanks Richard Mille for giving us gals a mechanical timepiece that's more than just a pale shadow of its male counterpart.  I'd be proud to wear this piece!

Cheers,
Daos

There really aren't many out there.  That's for sure.  I'm like you.  Not many of them appeal to me but this one definitely charmed me.  I think I'm on a mission now to find other ones that do too.  I just wished that RM watches weren't so darn expensive, lol.  Thanks for the great comments!

I totally thought of you when I saw the model number.     

That last wrist shot tells it all.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I like it better than the PSM!  Tell Anthony to open his wallet

Cheers, MIke

...between the RM 007 and PSM.  They are so different.  The PSM is more classic and I love it but nothing compares to something that was made specifically for you.  I'm sure AT wouldn't mind seeing the RM 007 on my wrist all the time.  He'll have to sell many many more shave sets first though, lol.

Another informative and entertaining review, Ping! Thanks for your insights.

Always means a lot coming from you.  Thanks for checking out the review.

I wasn't aware that this watch was  made in a "restrained" version.   It would be outstanding with a dark strap.   And the lug design is ideal for the smaller wrist.

Yeh, it was the only one that seemed practical to me.  I could have chosen a black strap but opted for the white one to make it more feminine.  Thanks for taking a look at the review.

Gals can wear men's watches, maybe I'll be the first to wear a ladies piece. (just joking)

Thanks for a fantastic presentation Ping.

Fernando,

Indeed, if we want all the reviews like this, Ping needs to grow more arms.....   

I agree that Ping's reviews are thorough.

...if even to satisfy all of my daughters' requests at any given moment.  Thank you

I did enjoy reviewing the watch a great deal and had hoped that people could see the value of this piece.  This is the first time that I've heard of men wanting to possibly wear a women's watch, says a lot about RM.  Thanks for checking out the review and for your comments.

Ping,

I have to make a "disclosure of confict", that I have never been interested in any Richard Mille watch.  I just don't 'get it'.

That's why there is such a thing as personal choice.  

But, like Fernando, I may consider this RM007 after your detailed review, even though it's classed as Ladies' watch.   The usual ploy at this juncture is to dangle it before the current Mrs MTF.  If she reels it in, there could be some 'borrowing' going on.........

 

Regards,

MTF

...I would be curious to see how the RM 007 looks on a man's wrist, perhaps with a black strap.  It is certainly a toned down version of RM watches in terms of their ususal industrial, mechanical look.  I can see how that would appeal to some men who might find the original a bit harsh.  I hope Mrs.  MTF takes the bait  

You did a great job...

Not obey informative but enjoyable to read...

Thank you....



Cheers

ps. Your photos were also stunning, excellent focus.

I wish I could take credit for the photos but as usual, it's the work of my other half, AT     Thank you for your comments, truly means a lot. 

Well done.

great review (thumbs up)

I'm really impressed by this rotor mechanism. It's time for brands to put some technical "cool" aspects in lady watches too.

I still have one question pending; aren't these gold balls making some curious noise?

 

Cheers,

James.
