;) But we can take the matter in another way.
Let's wait and see what the next one will be, as there will be a next one...
And maybe a nicer one, who knows?
Let's think about the guy who naively bought the first edition, then who saw saw many different.
Next time he will want to buy something from the same brand ( IF he is still willing to do so ), he may prefer to wait and see rather than jumping on the next one.
Economically speaking, this is not good.

The Richard Mille RM011 Limited Editions inventory catalogue
As I was looking at this very interesting RM model, from a complication standpoint (Flyback chronograph, Annual Calendar, Oversized Date) and as the great little mechanical Hi-tech box it is, I was also looking at the different "dresses" it was wearing. I...
That is very cool, need to remember this post. thank you!
As to my favorite, very hard. I like the Carbon, White Night, Le Mans, All Grey UAE, America White, ATZ Polo (In a Big Way), Argentina, Bev Hills, oh and Italia. I will "settle" for any of those. It is really hard to pick, when in doubt maybe stick to the...
So much you chose
As I did yesterday, you seem to think "oh I like this one, and this one... and this one too, oh and that one .. etc ..." There are very nice ones indeed: Polo, all Grey, white night ... very appealing Many must be sold out by now and it must be difficult ...
Black kite
By far. Hard to go wrong with a gold n black combo, the black with the AP Legacy (both with same color scheme) would make an awesome combo. Great post, Mark!
Gold combo
The gold and black combo is a great one ideed (the last RM052 is another proof of that coloring choice). I see you are lucky enough to find a true single winner in this list. I've not been able too :p Thanks for chiming in Flamenco :) Cheers, Mark
24 different RM 011, without the Rose Gold versions???
I will try to elaborate my point in a constructive way, but I think we are in front of a big paradox, and one which is not good for Richard Mille, IMO. RM watches are supposed to be exclusive. The price and the rarity is part of this exclusivity. How can ...
yes nico but look at the bigger picture here
you see it is still valid in terms of exclusivity true we saw 24 different models but most are either 10 or 30 or a 50 piece run and to be honest we all know that these models (11, 10 and 30) are the models trhat bring the bread and butter for RM as they ...
We'll be looking forward to it
Hi Ridler, I agree with your statement there and this Asia RM011 is avery nice color combo. I was also closely looking to the RM010 as I LOVE the Ti brushed cases from RM. The RM010 is a very strong contender. Cheers, Mark
I knew you would intervene Nicolas.
And that's a good discussion I thought about lately: Too much or not too much LEs. Well, firstly, I don't think that many LEs make a brand more or less exclusive: the number of watches doesn't impact significantly the overall production in order to make i...
This was over a course of MANY years.
These are far more limited than something like Royal Oak Offshores where you would have 1750 pieces across a SINGLE limited edition like say a Michael Schumacher or a Grand Prix. Seeing them all in one place like this makes it seems like there are tons ou...

I thought about that too...
Which one to chose? And what is the feeling if you buy a nice one and, 6 months later, there is another one you prefer better. I would say it's better to have this kind of choice instead of a unique one we may not like. I guess any client has to face his ...
Thank you Patrick
Yes, that's quite an offer. At least there are some for every taste, for someone who is willing to get one. Cheers.
Black Kite!~!!
Nice compilation, Mark! The only RM 11 i would buy is the Black Kite! I personally don't see a problem with the number of limited editions. Not only are RM's rare enough that i probably see one or two live ones a year, the special editions are even rarer....
I fully agree, LEs for RM is not an issue
and I would say if I were to buy a RM011 I would certainly go for a LE one. The least we can say is that you seemed to have found your one in that list! Thanks for the interesting and right input Hercule ;) Cheers, Mark
Wow great post Mark
My favorites are the RM11 with brown Pvd. The brown look for me matches perfect with the RM look and design. Cheers, Anthony
Brown
Original choice, I must say I love the Nitrure one too and understand you like the warmth of the brown one. Thanks your words Anthony ;) Cheers, Mark
The all greay has a special color
very nice too and usually sandblasted instead of brushed. Thanks Nacho, Cheers.
Only time will tell...
the longevity of such an array of versions of such an exclusive(and expensive)watch. Who knows,nobody has the crystal ball,but I agree with Nico that if I bought such a watch and then see so many iterations ,well i would not be super happy,especially if o...
Yes only time will tell
You summed up it perfectly right Mo. We can have our personnal impression but one can never tell what it will end like. "Personally LE are a put off,all these colors and bright pyrotechnics suit more swatch collecting than a top tier watch brand,to me it ...
Same here
And frankly I think RM is overrated and overpriced, but they hit a sweet spot. There's a saying in Chinese, I don't care about the best, I only want the most expensive. The entry to RM is higher than that of Patek, so for many Chinese now, RM (or GF if yo...
ADDITION: Titalyt LE and not LE
- This is the "not" limited Titalyt version: - And there is a 12 pieces LE with red numerals (couldn't find the picture on the net) ...
You do realize that the RM11 America Orange was actually created for AndrewLuff :)-
And rebadged America after Andrew declined the watch. :)- Jokes aside....I will come back shortly....just stumbled upon this thread, and I am not a regular visitor to RM forum, even thought I own the same rm35 as you, and I also have the rm11 "regular" in...
You're right
I sometime hardly try to find where do colors choices come from in their Limited Editions. The RM011 has been stuck in my mind lately ... Thanks for chiming in Horo ;) Cheers, Mark
Marcus correction
Great thread, but a small correction, the Marcus DLC version is a series of 12, not 10. How do I know? I have number 11. ...
Great catch
Thanks a lot Conkers, I can't modify my post but will correct it in my logs ;) Take care of this rare bird. Cheers.
Pleasure!
Pleasure, it's an amazing piece although the chrono numbers are largely unreadable unless the lighting is good!
Another one.......
Titanium Istanbul version with red and yellow details. I believe 10 of them.
ADDITION: RM011 White Demon Ceramic - 30 LE
A new one for the RM011 for North and South America. ...
Wow!
That one is eye-catching! Would love to see live photos if anyone manages to see one in the metal; I wonder if the ceramic creates a matte or glossy look? Thanks Mark for posting! Best, Colton

Love some of these new ones...
...would be nice if they would start to show up at Boutiques in the US sometime. Still waiting on 25th Anniversary.
Some of them are indeed made at a so low number that they are hard to meet
The recent TZP and NTPT versions (mixed or not) are really appealing indeed.
