Richard Mille RM60-01
Unlike many RM enthusiasts, I prefer the diver models to the tonneau shaped models. Understanding the bigger size might be the deterrent to many, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried on the RM60-01. I always liked complicated watches. As my horological taste matured, I thought simple watches were more classic, therefore safe. I went through few watches with "simple" characteristics but I got bored. So I went back to being complicated with my current collection limited to AP 26124 (Dual time) and IWC 5023-07 (Portuguese perpetual Calendar). With my taste for complicated watches rekindled, I feel the RM is the ultimate complicated watch.
Back to the watch in subject. I tried on the RM60-01 many times and every time I do so, my eye adjusts and focuses on the growing interest for the piece. When I stopped by the NY boutique, a brand new RM60-01 was available on the camo strap. I had to try the watch on again. This particular watch had, I believe the standard length strap which worked much better for my wrist. The RM60-01 I tried on previously had the long strap which had a bigger radius and didn't hug my wrist tight.
This watch, has all the details I enjoy. The multi-functional locking crown, the flat chrono pushers and the beefy bezel. The watch is complicated to the max but all details are in harmony. The pure audacity on this piece is just amazing.
Hopefully in the future, I'll get to own one of the RM diver watches. It would be my ultimate horological achievement.
Close Up
Close up wrist shot. Due to the case thickness, the lugs seem to pass my wrist in this picture but in person, they fit within. Scroll down to the last picture.
Yes, it's thick.
Simple but finished in detail, tang buckle.
And this is my favorite shot. I think I can pull this watch off. But I'll continue my wrist curls at the gym to thicken my wrist.
Thank you for reading.

The last picture sealed it for me - looks awesome on your wrist. As with all RMs, in-person (and on the wrist) is the only way to truly experience them. My personal preference on the RM060 specifically is the St Barths LE with white strap and blue/orange ...
NY Boutique
Hi Colton, When I was there about 3 weeks ago, they had RM30s in stock along with few other diver models such as RM63 and RM39, including the RM60 St Barths LE . I also recollect seeing few RM67s, RM27s and RM22s. They had more watches in stock but I focu...
I like almost all Richard Mile watches
And, like you, I'm especially fond of the Divers collection. If someone gave me one, I'd wear it every day. But I don't think I'll ever get there myself - while I admire everything that Richard Mille (the man and the company) has achieved, I continue to s...
It's a beast Joe, and as I said in your other thread it does seem to work for your wrist.
For me, and I would love to own an RM and have thought about and tried on RMs for 10 years or more, I cannot reconcile the current market prices with the intrinsic value.
That actually looks really good on you
There are far too many people, in my opinion, buying RMs that look ridiculous on them as they have tiny wrists.
