RM 030 - a great decision of yours.

...To begin with briefly just my two thoughts on the subject of customer screening....
The reason for taking a closer look at customers is something we have brought on ourselves - people who buy a special watch from RM to sell it on a short time later at a multiple of the price is not in the interest of a brand...this also applies to other manufacturers (AP, Rolex, Patek...), just unfortunately, some "customers" don't always get it... The last few years have shown that and I therefore understand the fact that you take a closer look at your customers.
This is certainly just one aspect of the number of incidents that one or the other experiences when visiting watch boutiques. The fact that they are allowed to sell coveted luxury items has certainly gone to their heads for some employees, but that's just human.
RM watches are something very special and cannot be surpassed in terms of wearing comfort. 
Congratulations on choosing the RM030. In my opinion, the latter also has the flair of the models from the early years, especially in titanium.

Best
Bernd

Any owner’s review? I was in London and was kindly hosted well as always by the RM boutique . Procedures have changed and many protocols have been set in order for anyone acquiring the piece as informed by the staff . More personal and hands on then ever....  

Congrats!

I don't have a lot of personal experience with the RMs as I've never really used one extensively enough. But they're definitely very unique pieces!

I just have to say that kind of arrogance really ticks me off…

Who are they to judge a customer? Had a similar issue at Azimut yachts. Well able to afford one of their (frankly second rate) boats. Short term thinking. Who knows where the person you affronted will be in a few years or even a decade. They will never fo... 

Very well said!

I had the rm 029 I loved it . A little high on my wrist, but overall great watch . Unfortunately I traded up for a Patek a few years ago. If you like it, go for it. You won’t lose any money if you trade.

Was in London a few years ago. Asked for a RM 011.

They wanted to give a 2% discount while outside the door ... And they advised me to not put the watch on the crown. It could be damaged (?!?).

Yes, I agree, times have changed around this brand as well as others...

Some brands don’t even let you in the store unless make an appointment! Sure.... they can wait for that;-))) On the crown comment, I always wondered how rugged RM watches actually are, since to be honest the ambassadors wearing then for a match it’s not r...

while these are nice watches and RM can sell everyone they make I would buy something different in this cost category if I could . That said you should enjoy your RM when you get it and realize you have a very special timepiece .

That is really interesting because a boutique here said earlier this year that the RM30 is being discontinued…

and I’d heard from a couple of other clients (in different state) that they were told the same thing. Admittedly, Horology75 is in a different category of clientele, so this may fairly be one of the few remaining orders, or perhaps the 030 isn’t being dis...
