Used 004 or new 035?
With prices roughly equivalent, which would you go for? I really am sitting painfully on the horns of this dilemma, but till I get to see the 035 for real it's just too difficult to commit. No, I'm not asking anyone else to make my decisions, I just wonde...
Hmmmm...
...that's a difficult question, actually, both awesome pieces. I think I'd lean towards the 35, as I am a bit of a neophile when it comes to watches (...although I'm coming around to the idea of buying classics!). I have seen and tried on the RM035, and i...
Which one?
Hi, First of all, I would mention that the prices are not even close to similar, and this is something to think carefully about. Second, they are 2 totally different animals…Comparing a split seconds chronograph to an hour/minute/seconds watch is like com...
Easy cheese....
No Question RM004 all the way...far better investment longterm, and a far more complex machine. Of course the 35 is looking nice, but not a patch in horological terms on the RM004:- Below is something previously posted, ...take it as you will, but it does...
Thanks Chris
As I said, I am just fascinated how others see the world. Of course I don't "need" a chrono, but it is a very special movement. In Titalyt or All Gray it's particularly stunning to look at too.
Indeed...
I do own a 004,I think i will be buying a 35 as my next RM, I love it, but absolutley no way is a 35 a choice over a 004. Its amazing to me how 'cheap' you seem to be able to pick an 004 up for. I would buy your 004 and then save up and look to get hold o...
Ok, the RM004 is streets ahead horologically speaking...
Everybody knows that, that's not really the point of the discussion. The point is that some people may prefer the avant-garde-ness of the RM035 case and modern-skeleton look over the great movement and more 'classic Richard Mille' look of the RM004. As we...
Ok, I own a 27 and a 008 which is...
a comparable duo to your 2 in question and I have to say that I would take the 27 all day long. Why? Because it is something unique. Something only RM can boast as it is the very essence of their brand. In fact? If I had your choice to make, I would actua...
Used RM004. I love the RM035, but the RM004 is
one of the original watches from the early days, constantly in re-development, and Richard's 'pure' chronograph watch. I love the RM004 and if for the same money you can get the RM004, I would not hesitate. Very different watches, and would love to have b...
RM004 no doubt if you want a true RM watch with soul
RM35 is very nice but in no way comparable to the 004 the 004 IS the essence of RM period
004 without hesitation
004 is my humble view by far the more interesting time piece. Believe me, if I found a 004 in excellent condition, I'd take it over a 035 in a nyc minute. good luck!
One way to compare these two watches
One simple way to look at the decision is in terms of whether your focus is on the case or the movement: * movement - What's most impressive about the RM004 is the movement. Others in this thread have already explained why RM004's movement is so significa...
