Richard Mille RM028 gets no respect

Richard Mille RM028 is a great dive watch, but for some reason, it gets little respect. The titanium case is machined to follow your wrist, making a large dive watch very comfortable to wear. One of the few 'affordable' RM watches.

I would say it looks totally boss

I’d stay away from using words such as “affordable”

To a very large percentage of the population of the world, spending circa $100K on a watch is most definitely unaffordable. Comes across as a little “let them eat cake’ish”. However, I know what you meant and relative to other RMs, it’s most definitely lo... 

Same with RM016

I respect RM for many things…exclusivity, style, gadgets but…

As a diving tool watch it is not impressive…..relative to its price. My Omega PO Chrono lists for $8500.00 has a chronograph, ceramic bezel and out performs the RM 028 in every area I believe except weight. You would at least expect the RM to have better ... 

For me it does not. And it is good like that. Different people different criteria.

Btw I own a Nivada Grenchen Chrono Reedition. Was around 1.700 EUR incl. taxes and I love it.

but well Omega ain't Richard

is nice with a lot of character and I think is getting a lot of respect

6 figures on Chrono 24 or was this the official price too ? (1 digit 6 figures)

ah good to know :)

thank you for the information. There seems to be a trend of many companies not publishing the price (AP too) which can be very confusing

Yeah, RM never did…

I guess it’s based on the principle that “if I have to ask then I probably can’t afford it” 😳🤣 Just kidding, in part. But AP does have their prices posted on their website, at least here in the US.

Great materials and quality but...

not what you would expect from the RM design team, especially for the price. It honestly reminds me of a Luminox and it is quite “Affordable” but definitely not inspirational or high end. I bet RM could come up with something better and way cooler for div...
