RM035

Hi Riddler,

I've been digesting RM's collection these last months and I must say the RM035 is, imo, a perfect combination of RM's strenghs in that price section. The material, the high technics, the HL finishing, the size (not to big for me), the barrel shape case, the shock resistance (manual wind), alltogether wraped up in RM's innovative philosophy.

To be clear, I find in that selection only great watches, but when taking into account every details, the RM035 comes out finally, quite clearly to me.

I love the RM033's design together with the case's angles polishing, the twisted lugs perfectly integrated in the case, added with the flat mouvement and the micro-rotor. But I would consider choosing a single RM whith picking a barrel shaped case. Maybe what I don't like that much about this 033 is the dial's aesthetics (even if the arab numerals version is nicer).

I'm disapointed about the RM029, not enough skeletonized and not as good looking as others around the oversize date area. I would prefer possessing a RM010.

The RM030 is the one that would challenge the RM035's first place, in my heart: very deep movement (especially from the caseback view), beautifully skeletonized (better than RM010 from my point of view), and very interesting (and unusual) declutchable rotor (I really like automatic wind movement). I saw it in Ti and (as for all RM cases) I LOVE the work on these cases (It's a really personnal feeling but I would never consider a gold RM).

Finally, concerning the RM055, I don't know what to think. First, because I never saw it in the flesh, and I consider this is fundamental when judging a timepiece. But I would consider an RM as an everyday wear and thus I don't know if the size or the white color (more difficult to keep clean) is something I would go for in this watch. Furthermore I understand that a part of the case has a rubber coating and I wonder if it we last.

Interesting poll Ridler but you didn't share your opinion, what's yours ? 

Best,

Mark
