If i may, Nicolas...

... there's a major difference between PP, VC, AP, JLC.... and RM watches. RM is a new watchmaker that haven't proved himself yet. If you followed the history of Richard Mille, you can see that he basically focused on making a superbe design, use new material, and inject tonnes of Cash in marketing. Reminds me a little of the revival of Hublot except that he targeted the top of the top. Making very limited quantities but selling them extremely high priced. There will always be rich ppl that will be interested, especially that like i said, the design is very eye catching.
About PP, VC, AP, JLc, you are right, there might be imperfections, from time to times as they are manufactured and the fact that the human hand is working on it day after day, month after month, that ppl are human, they got their moods, etc... but its exactly why we love them, and live with their imperfections. Even more, we sometimes end up loving them for their imperfections.
In the end, we must admit that if we call them "the 5 big boys", with breguet and blancpain, its because they have been proving themselves over so many years to be making the most amazing watches. They carry a history.
 Nice of you though to defend RM, even if i think they don't deserve it. Shooting unjustifiable prices, jst to target a special niche, you got to prove sooner or later that you deserve to be where you placed youself.

P.s: But there is a justice, in auction prices are often slashed to 1/3 of list price. While Patek break records
