If your calculations are true
I'd turn out to be an even happier man!
Whatever the final results are, the lighter it becomes, the better!
Also i have a scale newly purchased ready to measure this beauty the moment i get it, so do stay tuned and we shall see what the final production version comes in at!
Cheers!

How much RM035 really weighs
I've seen greatly varying accounts of how much the RM035 weighs. In this forum, 35g is mentioned. On various versions of the announcement I've seen both 41g and "under 20g". On Richard Mille's web site, the specs for RM035 list the exact weight of the mov...
Very scientific!
I just believed this number measured at the boutique with the correct strap and the buckle on. Says 41g. But this was the auction piece with white model number. So, that may be a bit different.... Interesting to letting us wonder about this Bottom line - ...
Then here's what's amazing ...
After figuring it should be possible for it to weigh 23g, it's surprising to see a weight of 41g clearly shown on the scale! Are you sure there isn't a weighing pan or something that needs to be subtracted? In other words, what weight is registered after ...
Good point.
.. but I was there and the scale was showing "0g" before putting 035 on. So, let's hear what Stephen will find out when he gets his one! Ken
One of the earlier releases states that
The RM 35 is 15 grams weights to the 27, and assuming if we take even the lightest weight of the 27 that is the watch without the strap which is 18 grams, you get 33 grams. That is believe is the weight of the 35's case, and makes sense if you plus 2 from...
don't want anyone to think I'm criticizing RM035
I'm just trying to make some sense of why it weighs a lot more at 41g than the 23g I figured it ought to weigh. I just assumed that the ultra light-weight magnesium-aluminum alloy was used to make the case much lighter. It still doesn't make sense to me t...
this explain the mystery
Recall that I computed the volume of the RM010 case based upon a difference between the weighings of my titanium RM010 and a friend's white gold RM010. Although I weighed mine precisely to within 1/100 of a gram, it seems my friend's weighing was not so p...
As far as I understand it...
... there is no difference except for the white model number. Should "33.6g" include strap/buckle? Sometimes people talk about the weight with/ without the strap, at least in case of 027... Ken
weights with and without straps/buckles
Ok, if there is no difference between the auction version of the RM035 and the regular one, then I still can't account for the difference between 33.6g and the measured 41g. The 33.6g does includes everything, so it includes the strap and buckle. I've rea...

I'm hearing things all the way
From as early as September all the way to November! Who knows?! But rest assured that i will do the weighing and post the shot soon after! Cheers Stephen
