RM035 or RM011 Le Mans Chrono

 
 By: cenoura007 : September 26th, 2013-11:58
Hi Guys,

Have to make a decision...at least a simple one...just can't get my head and heart to choose between this two!

Can you help?

Value for money;

Manufacturing quality;

Limited Edition vs Lightness but less exclusiveness;

Manual winding vs chronograph?

Thanks

The second will be go with the one that sings to you.

I think the more technically minded responses will follow.  But you seem to have an enjoyable problem to solve.

I'd get the RM011

Why?  Because it has all the RM design you need IMO.  If you want to get a 2nd RM later on, then I'd get a RM tourbillon next smile

Cheers,
Anthony

I think I'd go for the 35...

...the Chronofiable movement is very tough, and it's lightweight and very very sexy...and it'll remain a rare model compared to the RM011 in general (granted, not the LMC version). Don't get me wrong, I love the RM011...hell, I'm wearing one now... I particularly like the bigger size. But I'm not a fan of double-branded watches, as much as I love classic motor racing. But then I love blue on watches, so that adds to the conundrum...!!  smile
Go with the one that speaks to you, other peoples opinions are overrated.

There is no right answer here....

and it truly depends on what you are into in terms of watches.

For myself, not into chronographs, so the choice would be easy.  However, the RM011 LeMans is a very handsome version of the watch.  The RM035 I would argue is nearer to Richard's 'thinking' on watches, but is a regular production piece even though annual production is in limited numbers. 

Some pictures to help...may be?  I cannot help any more than that.  Sorry.

Hard choice but still RM035 in the end

Hi Cenoura,

I've been closely looking at this LE RM011 not so long ago and it is indeed very attracting. It shows more from the mechanical side whereas the RM035 is more on the technical ground from rare material choices.

The RM011 is a fantastic toy but to me the RM035 is more faithful to RM's spirit even if less "expressive" or impressive visually.

The RM035, it's more a "mind" thing.


if you want to attract people then go for the 11, but if you want

subtility and under the radar feel then its the 35

 

i would choose personaly the 35 over the 11 (my biggest reason is that the 11 is too huge and thick for me) and i really dont see the need for that thickness and the fact that for a very high tech watch i expect to have an integrated CHRONOGRAPH instead of a MODULAR one based on DD

 

so im still hoping for an integrated chronograph that is thinner as well

until then my choice would always be 35 over 11
