It would be a difficult choice...
...between the RM 007 and PSM. They are so different. The PSM is more classic and I love it but nothing compares to something that was made specifically for you. I'm sure AT wouldn't mind seeing the RM 007 on my wrist all the time. He'll have to sell many many more shave sets first though, lol.
Richard Mille RM007 Rose Gold Ladies' Watch - An "On-The-Wrist" Review
The RICHARD MILLE Ladies’ Watch RM 007 is an impressive and faithful counterpart to the distinctive RM men’s line of watches. Exhibiting the same level of sophistication in mechanical ingenuity as well as creative design, the watch consists of an automati...
re: RM007
Great indepth review Ping! So do you think the polished side of the case worked as you had more wrist time with it? Or would the old style brushed be more appropriate? -MW
Thanks Ming!
I definitely liked the polished more. It felt more feminine and stylish. I would wear the watch and walk around outside and noticed people's eyes immediately look down to the watch when they saw me. it definitely stands out more which some people may not ...
What is this? Wow, that is so cool!
I know, you've heard that many times already regarding this watch. Thank you for the thorough review, it is important to know how the strap wears on a watch like this and it is reassuring to know that it doesn't soil quickly. The auto-reverse winding syst...
Yep, I have to say...
the 007 is probably the coolest ladies time piece around. My wife has had, pretty much, every conceivable ladies watch out there over the last 15 years. Vintage Cartier Americans with European Watch And Clock guts, vintage and modern Pateks, Rolex Bubble ...
We need your wife's posts! lol
Hi Da Guru! Wow, your wife sounds like a fortunate woman to have experienced so many great watches. And now it looks like she will have the opportunity to try another one. You must convince her to share her experiences and opinions here. I would love to h...
I still hear myself saying it when I see pictures of the RM 007
Thank you Patrick for reading and for your comments. The watch is definitely very special in terms of ladies luxury watches. I don't know how well the white strap would have held up in extended wear but I suspect that it would have been pretty easy to cle...
Ping - what a brilliant review. I think this is the first review I have
seen on the RM007, and while (as you point out) a specific ladies designed RM watch, it has remained relatively un-noticed and under valued for years since its release. Your review will hopefully redress this. Depth and detail, that might be missed on fir...
actually i ordered an RM07 Titalyt for my sister for her birthday, supposed to receive
within a couple of weeks
Wow, first review of the RM 007...really?
Thank you Andrew for your generous comments...and your patience with me in posting this review. The RM 007 definitely deserves to be valued and praised more, especially in the ladies watch market. If I had one recommendation for RM, it would be to rethink...
I think Richard's thoughts are that what is beauty in one
persons eye, is not in another, and vice versa. For my taste, the more subdued would be the choice, but for others, the more distinctive the design, the better. Thanks again for the wonderful review Ping - a lot of hard work on your part, and lot of infor...
You are absolutely right...
...that beauty is subjective. I definitely got the feeling from the RM 007 watches that he was trying to cater to the individuals' tastes which is highly commendable in my book. Thanks again Andrew.
great review!
with professional quality pictures. A real pleasure to read through. Thanks for posting.
Credit for all pictures...
...must go to Anthonytsai. I'm sure it wasn't an easy watch to photograph with the curved case and polished metal. Thanks for you comments!
Thanks for the great review!
The polished rose gold looks fantastic. I think this is a real winner. Thanks again! Chris
I have to agree...
....that it's a real winner in terms of a high end ladies watch. I normally don't like polished cases but this one just looked great and matched the watch well. Thanks for taking a look.
Great review!
Congrats on a well written and in-depth review of a beautfiul piece. I have always been attracted to RMs but the "other half" never warmed to the industrial work. However, when this review was posted, I had the wife read it and she came to the same conclu...
Warming to Richard Mille...
When my husband first got his RM, I thought it was cool but didn't love it. It's amazing that they were able to make such an, as you called it "industrial" looking watch, look feminine and elegant. I was definitely a little sad to have to return it but ma...
Excellent review, thanks Ping.
I once saw a RM007 set with orange baguettes, maybe garnet or carnelian, and it is the most stunning RM007 I have seen. The Celtic Knot tourbillon is yet another stunning ladies watch by RM. - SJX
Thanks for your comments.
Saw quite a few colorful pieces that they had that day. Guess I remain a traditionalist. Didn't see the Celtic Knot Tourbillon though which would have been quite a sight. Thanks for checking out the review.
Haha...
Aww...but what if it made her really really really happy? lol Thanks for reading.
Fomar - I am sure your wife saw the review before you did!
It is only a matter of time before a RM007 is on her wrist! Hope to see you soon Andrew H
Thanks a lot Ping for your review.
It is very funny to see how a minor change of the case shape can transform a watch. A great achievement from Mille. Fr.Xavier
RM cases...
Yes, it's pretty amazing. I think they made all the right changes in the all the right places. Sometimes simply sizing down a watch makes it lose some appeal but the RM 007 has the same amount if not more. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks for the review Ping
Love your pictures btw Seeing the RM007 on your delicate wrist was a match made in heaven. The bling of the polished rose gold case along with the brushed inner case makes the RM007 an extremely sexy ladies' watch. Of all the watches you've reviewed so fa...
I'm sure you DO love the pictures, lol...
Yeh, it was the only watch that I've reviewed that I actually wanted to keep. Great idea to possibly pvd coat the micro-balls. I wonder if they could do that since the balls are so small. Will have to find out from RM about use in a men's version. Thanks ...
Wonderful review of the RM007
Hi Ping Wow, great review of the RM007. Do you think a version with at least a few diamonds (not fully encrusted) would make it more feminine looking? I do love the design of the rotor with the micro-balls floating around. Regards, ED-209
Diamonds on RM
Yes, I do think it would make it more feminine looking if that is what you are going for...maybe just the bezel or hour markers. A lot of the models with the diamonds have the colored field in the middle which I'm not a huge fan of but is more feminine. U...
Definitely under consideration
And the reasons for the comments about the bling. It's interesting to know that my gf is starting to show an interest in the base movement with a slightly less focus on the diamonds. Thanks again for the review, I'll have her read it and see what happens ...
Just lovely!
Ping, you are to be heartily congratulated on this great review of a watch which admittedly has escaped my notice, and likely that of others as well, until now. What a stunning timepiece! You know I'm a sucker for the "little things" -- those details make...
Delightful women's watches...
There really aren't many out there. That's for sure. I'm like you. Not many of them appeal to me but this one definitely charmed me. I think I'm on a mission now to find other ones that do too. I just wished that RM watches weren't so darn expensive, lol....
Great review and pics Ping!
That last wrist shot tells it all. I can't believe I'm saying this but I like it better than the PSM! Tell Anthony to open his wallet Cheers, MIke

Well Done!
Another informative and entertaining review, Ping! Thanks for your insights. m
Thank you Meenha!
Always means a lot coming from you. Thanks for checking out the review.
Thanks for the review
I wasn't aware that this watch was made in a "restrained" version. It would be outstanding with a dark strap. And the lug design is ideal for the smaller wrist. Ginger
Hi Ginger!
Yeh, it was the only one that seemed practical to me. I could have chosen a black strap but opted for the white one to make it more feminine. Thanks for taking a look at the review.
If only all the watch reviews were like this one.
Gals can wear men's watches, maybe I'll be the first to wear a ladies piece. (just joking) Thanks for a fantastic presentation Ping. fernando
Then, Ping would have to wear ALL our review watches !
Fernando, Indeed, if we want all the reviews like this, Ping needs to grow more arms..... I agree that Ping's reviews are thorough. Regards, MTF
More arms would certainly help...
...if even to satisfy all of my daughters' requests at any given moment. Thank you
You are too kind!
I did enjoy reviewing the watch a great deal and had hoped that people could see the value of this piece. This is the first time that I've heard of men wanting to possibly wear a women's watch, says a lot about RM. Thanks for checking out the review and f...
I may be influenced by this review
Ping, I have to make a "disclosure of confict", that I have never been interested in any Richard Mille watch. I just don't 'get it'. That's why there is such a thing as personal choice. But, like Fernando, I may consider this RM007 after your detailed rev...
Very interesting...
...I would be curious to see how the RM 007 looks on a man's wrist, perhaps with a black strap. It is certainly a toned down version of RM watches in terms of their ususal industrial, mechanical look. I can see how that would appeal to some men who might ...
Stunning review Ping.....
You did a great job... Not obey informative but enjoyable to read... Thank you.... Cheers ps. Your photos were also stunning, excellent focus.
Thank you so much!
I wish I could take credit for the photos but as usual, it's the work of my other half, AT Thank you for your comments, truly means a lot.
thx for this very nice review
I'm really impressed by this rotor mechanism. It's time for brands to put some technical "cool" aspects in lady watches too. I still have one question pending; aren't these gold balls making some curious noise? Cheers, James.
