RM vs FM
You must have liked RMs to previously owned 3 pieces. Sorry to hear you have issues with them. Mine has been working fine from the moment i bought it 3 years ago. From my point of view RM is different to FM. First, it is targeted to a different level of customer. RM's idelology in utilising the latest material technology and combine it with a true horology. Its an extreme watch, thus leading to the premium price tag. The value of the watch varies from each individual if
the price is justifiable for a watch using advance engineered materials and latest technology. I would not category RM watches as high value, but in my opinion it is worth the penny for its technology and exclusivity. On the other hand, i'm not sure what is the image or message FM is trying to convey through their brand? Maybe people get bored of their design, thus the decline in resale value. Just my 2 cents.
RM as the "new" FM
Hey guys - I read something in one of the postings on the forum and it had me thinking - I had eventually picked up the APs I wanted over a period of 10 years. It was a long journey to get my first and I relish the fact that when I finally got it, I did o...
i never buy my RMs from ADs and thus never pay retail price
Sorry to do this but on PuristsPro we dont discuss price or discounts. If you want to discuss price or discounts then private email. If you wish to discuss RM as the new FM, from a brand perspective, go right ahead. Thanks Andrew H
That was my post that you refer to!!
To be clear I was only repeating what my dealer said to me when I said I wanted to buy one, but in addition to value he was also referring to the shape / design of the watch and also the fact that there is currently momentum behind the brand but little hi...
Yes you are!
Yes indeed - hope you don't mind that I wrote this out as you did inspire this! And I am also considering the RM11. I narrowed my thoughts to just the issue of value retention for what it is worth - I did overlook the comparison to FM and although I never...
It's the same for me
Next for me I think will be either: RM 11, PP 5980 or ALS Datograph.

brand loyalty
Incredible. Steventarmac must really like RM, otherwise he wouldn’t have bought 3 of them. Talk about brand loyalty. Yes, definitely overpriced, but that's part of what makes the...

The question was: RM the new FM? Not about being priced one way or another. You
obviously like the designs and the watches. To own three suggests you do. That you had such a bad run of luck with your watches is regretable. What I dont understand is why you did not visit your local AD and chew his/her head off about it and get somethi...
RM can't be the the FM
I would say that Richard Mille watches are exceptional and produced to a very limited number per year.. it will never reach to the point of being compared to FM.. actually i would say that with the finishing and the details put in RM watches, no other wat...
Not about "overpriced"
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences. I was quite careful in how I raised this and I tried not to dabble on the issue of price but rather on the issue of retained value/perceived value as dictated by the free market. In a haza...
RM is certainly not the new FM.... there is a world of difference
between someone who basically copies old watch (mainly Patek) designs, uses and adapts off the shelf movements, and does little in the way of new material/new use research that pushes the boundaries of micro-mechanicals and material science. Richard's wat...
even Vaucher movements are actually great
personally i think they are one of the best non complicated movements out there I've owned 3 Rm10s and all have performed outstandingly of course my previous RM004 was the best and definitely not comparable to the basics but still the 10s i truly think ar...
