fluke I hope
I didn't
realize this was a brand new purchase, as in NIB from a boutique. I'm shocked
the deployment would break so soon (4th day). That would make me paranoid from
then on. Hope this was a freak fluke. Never heard of such on a RM before, at
least not publicly. The boutiques would know the statistics better and I wonder
what they have to say about this.
Still a grail piece in my eyes. Beatiful watch. I still want one.
rm11 ti landed
just some quick wristshot phone pictures, size is perfect for my wrist. and the light weight of titanium goes perfect with this model. but at the forth day of wearing it, this happend. i am hoping i will get my deployant replacement soon. good thing that ...
looks good and grats!
Good choice on case material, rubber strap, and bezel color. That's the most popular choice for the RM11 and you shouldn’t have trouble selling or trading if that day comes. If we were to hold a poll, the majority of votes would be for your very RM11 comb...
Enjoy
Lovely watch, enjoy it Shocking about the deployment break, no excuse for that, as you say lucky you were sat down, what if it happened when you were out at sea or something like that?..bye bye £££££,that pin should be 110% welded...
Controversy....
But what if you dropped the watch into a place that you might not be able to get it back...what happens then? Does the boutique gets you a brand new piece? What extent of good faith would a watch brand do such a thing? Some discussions about this please b...

That is just the poor state of RM and it's finishing, sad to say. My friend's 28 also faced serious malfunction. I am seriously reconsidering getting any RM soon, going to stick with what I trust and have known for years.
hmmmm
I have always struggled a little with using deployments, always found there is a lot hanging on one little pin. I changed the deployment on my 004 to a tang buckle for this reason. Being white gold the watch is quite weighty, and would hate it to fall fro...
hi
its a failure of the pin comming away from its welding to the main deployant. this could have been a disaster if i was walking down the street when this happend. its a bnib watch from 2012, my dealer will get me a warranty replacement on the deployant. i ...
Dont agree
Doesnt make it right just because it can happen to other brands. That lug should not be welded, surely thats a design fault, should it not pass through the buckle, be fixed that way, blimey, $$$$$$$ worth of watches hanging on a small welded pin....scares...
Forgot to add
I think that this bugs me more becuase it is Richard Mille, top tech, made from F1 race cars etc etc, the ethos is Massa crashing in one & it still works, Nadal plays tennis in one, still works, Polo players, golfers etc etc, a lot of the branding is buil...
Yes!!
Just what i was picturing when I wrote the earlier comment. In the deep blue sea no one can say unless RM brings along an expedition to rescue the fallen(no pun intended) watch.
shocking indeed ...
RCOPPEL has been really lucky on this one. I share your concern about this, although I am sure this is an isolated incident ... I have heard from several owners that first generation deployants had an issue where the pin was not fastened securely enough t...

First - congratulations! Looks great and so good to hear
that you chose the titanium version. However, sorry to hear that the buckle pin. That should not have happened. What I do know is that Richard will read this and will be concerned. It should not have happened, but I am sure that measures will be taken to ...
