Nicely said Flamenco,
We shared the same kind of experience when we hold it for the first time.
As you said, and as I always thought, it is essential to have a watch in hand to be able to get 100% of it and make a reliable judgment. And this RM035 is not an exception.
As for the pictures, yes, you point it right too; it's not an easy watch to shoot this mate finish outside and inside is a nightmare compared to a shiny steel/gold/ Pt etc material.
The interesting element to bring out are the hands, the 2 red touches of paint, otherwise it is difficult to make something as interesting as other watches. I guess this one can lead to a nice picture if you post-process it (PS etc): play with colors etc ...
Thanks for your kind words Flamenco, I'll post some others soon, maybe before the SiHH madness.
Cheers,
Mark
