Great and very valuable review
That's indeed interesting to have feedbacks on such watches as they remain rare.
Furthermore, I agree with many of your conclusions and recognize what an owner can experience with a RM (I had a RM035).
The RM016 is indeed the first one we would think off but, as you say, it is totally faithful to RM's comfort standards. Hence, it is a fantastic daily wearer imho and a nice piece to enter the RM ownership.
It is interesting to see that you didn't have that many scratches on your WG bezel and that you really enjoy the switch from WG to Ti.
I've been considering a RM067 for a while, for similar reasons (comfort, thinness, great daily wearer, accurate, reliable etc...).
I see that you have a 055 and had a 063.
- Can you tell me how you felt with the 055's size (I understand you're not the wearer but you have maybe an opinion)? It is not auto (my preference) but I saw the All Grey version I liked a lot.
- Is it possible to have your quick feedback on the 063 and why you finally decided to sell it? The proportions maybe or the complication you didn't enjoy enough? I love its case's shape.
However, I imagine that a thinner model's comfort is hard to beat as well, especially in Ti.
Thank you very much for taking time to write this for us Janef and enjoy your new RM016!
Best, Mark

Review of the 16 after 4 years ownership.
I have own RM016 since 2013. I recently updated my watch from a 18KWG Roman Dial to a Ti Arabic dial. I am doing a very personal review/snippets of the RM016. I always wanted to do some watch reviews on some of the watches I own but after I wrote the revi...
Great review of my favorite RM!... a bit offbeat for the brand.
I've had the good fortune to wear and experience almost every Richard Mille, and this model remains my favorite. There's something magical about how it blends the technophile appeal of RM with a wondrously flat and versatile profile. The packaging of this...
Thank you TIm. Yes "magical" is the right word I am searching for. ;)
Cheers! Best regards, James.

Ok.. here are some of my thoughts..
Hi Mark, Yes I own a 55 but actually it is more like my mrs watch, personally, I find the watch to be a nice size for casual wear considering the thickness hence the manual wind is a good thing cos it free up a lot of the space to allow the movement to be...
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
I love the 63's case and would really like to see it in a future novelty. However, after being used to wearing thinner and lighter RM models, I can imagine how difficult it is to go for a heavier one. Thanks again Janef Best, Mark
