Ojection, Your honor !

 

Eric,

I find your post very subject to opinion, end slightly nonsensical. I first wondered if you just forgot to put IMO (or, heaven forbid, IMHO), but searched and read a few of your other posts and realised that this was unlikely.

In response to your points :

1. To you, they may . Does this mean that the poster a few lines up is wrong or has bad taste ? And it could be argued that the point of the 23 is to look less sporty, for those who seek a more elegant look perhaps. The 'must have Arabic numerals' is...well...a bit silly, IMHO. ;-)

2. The partially skeletised dial is no older than that used in the 10. It's just different. By the way, a real 'purist' would probably say that neither is a real skeletised movement, but according to some RM PR material the 23 is 'partially', the 10 is just 'skeletised'. For what it's worth.

3. Say what ? And what, in your opinion, is the 'RM look'? The 23 crown is similar to that of the diamond-set 7's and the 19, however the crowns of the 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 are each quite distinctly different from the others. Does this mean they don't have 'the look' either ? Maybe they should all just be scrapped from the RM collection then.

I don't mind the 23 at all, wouldn't wear it myself, but wouldn't say no to it on my wife's wrist. I quite like the way they've done the roman numerals - quite different to most other offerings out there. RM's designs havn't been successful by being beige cardigan boring...

Just my 2 centimes (and all IMHO, of course)

Cheers,

Rob

RM23

Hey guys!! I've seen all kinds of RMs here. But what about the RM 23? Does no one like the 23? How is it different than the RM10? Any insight guys? Thanks in advance..

different size and "look"...

I think the RM023 case is the same size as the discontinued RM005. I believe there is no difference in the movement with the RM010. Someone explained to me that this model has been designed to be "easier to wear" for someone that doesn't want a larger wat... 

as for size it

actually fills the gap size between the 10 and the 5 so basically in between didn't click with me at all

the movement

looks like the RM005 movement, not the RM010 (not skeletonized). Cool looking watch

I much prefer the RM010 over the RM023 because ...

1. The Roman numerals of the RM023 look out of place. A watch this sporty, must have Arabic numerals. 2. The RM023 has the older less skeletonized movement. 3. The crown doesn't have the RM look. The only plus I can think of for the RM023 is better for so... 

Some do love and buy the RM023, but perhaps it is not

as popular as the other models for the reasons noted: the face is not the usual RM look; the less skeletonized dial, the winding crown not having the same look. The iconic case shape is the same, but not quite the same finish. It depends what you want! An...

Either way RM is a winner because...

If they stop it, down to lack of sales, it will become rare as rocking horse manure to the collector hence give yet more kudos and collect ability to the brand and if it sells they just make more money. I wish I had their business!

Hmmm...

DaGuru, I have heard that RM have ridden out the crisis very well so far, as they slowed down production and let many ADs de-stock considerably, before slowly ramping up deliveries again (lets face it, they were never delivering big numbers anyway). I bel...
