Just a very few comments about the RM11-03 McLaren

I think that everybody saw the pictures: Sadly I couldn't go to Geneva. Anyway, here are a few few comments. I'm surprised to not be really surprised by the RM11-03 base. It is after all a logic choice but, I don't know, I would have expected something di...  

I really like....

the case but would have imagined something more interesting for the movement, not that this one doesn't make sense. Any word on the collaboration with AM or is that now off the books? Cheers, Filip

I’m sorry, but I find this most disappointing.

Appreciate the nice write-up, and for sharing this watch. However, this feels like “peak RM.” My opinions only: 1) The Vaucher base + DD module fails to deliver on the exotic promise of the RM brand. I understand that the cases are made of unusual materia... 

Well you could have 27 Rolex Subs too...who cares.

I respect your opinion. However, I'll tell you after owning every major brand, there is no better movement I've owned than Vaucher. All of my Vaucher movement RM's have kept time better than any other brand. Period. AP should learn a few things and PP too... 

Warmed up? We’ve been waiting for this warmed up piece but it failed to deliver. [nt]

Do you know if we can expect a Aston Martin collab piece still and anytime soon?

Have you seen new 53-01? 70-01?

Who cares about this McLaren piece. If you're not buying a McLaren 720, it shouldn't matter to you as you can't buy it. However, I think 500 LE is silly. Buy what you like. RM will be just fine

Yep, it's a yawn-fest

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks Brandon. I’ve been thinking for a while that RM is basically a more expensive Hublot (or maybe TAG-Heuer). Or something... Best E.

Disappointing all round.

hopefully he does something really new and exotic with the Aston Martin collaboration piece? Is this still happening?

Actually if you go to RM site, it's about McLaren the brand--not Senna.

It's call the 011-03 McLaren. They talk about the McLaren history of racing and show a picture of a 570 and a 720--no Senna. It's a 'generic' McLaren watch (according to RM site). The pushers 'are designed from the lights of a 720'. They've done a terribl... 

The ergonomics RM11-03 is not the best.

The date and functions of the chronograph are absolutely blind. This is strange, because the design was developed in collaboration with the designer McLaren.

Cool watch for sure

But I agree, would prefer to McL logo on the case. On the back would make sense. Also, the pricing is mind boggling to me relative to the price of the McL.... just my 5c
