RM005 piece unique / prototype?
Greetings everyone,
I’m thrilled to make my inaugural post here and look forward to becoming an active contributor to this esteemed community.
I come to you with a bit of a conundrum. A few years ago, I acquired a pre-owned RM005. However, upon closer inspection and comparison with other models online, I observed subtle differences. Specifically, the covers adjacent to the 8 and 3 markers are absent, revealing more of the caliber. What intrigues me further is that my timepiece mirrors the one showcased on Richard Mille’s official website.
Despite investing over 10 hours into research and consulting with two boutiques, I remain puzzled. I’ve attached some photographs for reference:

Hi, look at my RM 028.
Seems to be the same movement. Compare with website of RM. Some pics of the RM 028 show the same differences of the movement. ...
I always love seeing this 028.
Honestly, I’d enjoy even the current standard 028 offering, but pricing blasted into space a long time ago…and continues to climb.

The pieces you describe appear to be sheet metal on some watches, and casting on others
Welcome! By the numeral 3, the components are called "the keyless works" which really means "parts that wind the watch and set the position of the hands" I'm not sure what is being contained by the cover at 8. I'm not surprised that these vary - in fact n...
I own 005 myself too
I was told it is an option of late if you bring your watch for complete overhaul you can opt to update your watch ie change the “covered” to “skeleton”.. yours could have been in a services of late. Personally I prefer the original look ie what it was whe...
Speaking as a website editor, why mess with a page & image when you don’t have to
You may be over-thinking this…
BTW what happen to that piece of skeleton between 6 and 8 on yours?
Seems missing a part? Or it’s lighting on photo that hidden that skeleton part?
