RM016 desirability and issues
I have been looking at used RM016 and am wondering why exactly are these the most inexpensive RM’s on the used market and why they don’t hold their value? By all accounts it looks like any other very nice RM so why is this particular reference so inexpensive second hand? Are there any issues with it that aren’t apparent I should know about? Is the RM016 considered an entry level RM? Is it the calatrava of the RM lineup? Greatly appreciate the input of the RM experts in here on this reference.

I guess squared watches aren’t that popular among collectors.
But with RM its a bit different as there round watches (RM 32/33/28 etc) aren’t popular as well imho . Not a RM owner so maybe a RM collector has got a better explanation !
First, a word of caution
It always makes me shudder whenever anyone describes a watch - any watch - as “inexpensive” without categorically stating what they mean is “relatively inexpensive” compared to other pieces. Always remember that what someone deems as expensive or inexpens...

I own a RM 016 too
Like PP James I also bought an 016 and I like him I traded in/sold several watches that I was not wearing to fund buying the 016. I love it. It gets regular rotation. It is unmistakably a RM but it’s under the radar, easy to wear, and really a perfect cas...
