and are indeed reminescent of AP ROOs, but in total fairness RM still produces these lmtd pieces in really lmtd numbers 30 at max and some reach up to 5 only so its not like he is flooding the market with different variants plus most of them are region targeted (i.e AMERICAs editions).
varaiety isnt bad but exccessive varaiety is an issue and thats where RM should be careful about. although Mr. Richard himself acknowledges that fact and indeed is aware of the issue but keep in mmind that most if not all of these lmtd pieces were agreed upon since long time ago and thus he is committed to them. plus RM has many friends in different regions of the world and those have strong household names in the business and request personally from RM to create lmtd for them or their region (just an example is the RM11 SIDDIQUE) i met Abdulhameed Siddiqui with RM in Dubai and Abu Dhabi during the F1 last Nov. and they are close friends so no wonder if RM does something special for that retailer (Siddiqui and sons are one of the biggest watch reatilers i the region) i could go on and on but i think you get what im trying to say.
i myself have mixed feelings about these lmtd but hey if i was in RM shoes i guess i'd be doing the exact same thing
