RM037 & 055 Live Pics!

I have been fortunately invited to the RM Exhibition of 037 and 055, among other beautiful RM pieces here in Tokyo.  As always, RM picks very nice venue and atmosphere for the clientele to enjoy the pieces and perhaps to want one of them or two...


Entrance




A big 038 panel!




Was going to have a cocktail reception which I could not attend...... :-(








View from Shinjuku high rise hotel....




Nadal, of course!




...Watson..



...and Masa....







Always here in this panel, Mr. Mille!





Why always Richard Mille?  Very nice addition!





This is a very nice novelty - to be shown later





Her own design....





011 Le Mans LE









011 Japan LE! - Couldn't see this time.....












As I said, nice atmosphere....





Now the watches:


1. 037 in RG




Quite heavy, thanks to its hefty case...




The push button at 5 changes "N (neutral)" to "W (winding)" to "H (Hand)" and the crown never have to be pulled out.  Of course, you know the mechanism well with other models, too.  But this one the push button is not ON the crown, but at 5.   Why?




I think it is to balance with the one at 11, which changes the date.




In-house automatic movement.




Really smart and smallish size (for RM) and I like it very much, if this were Ti version, which couldn't make it this time.








Can you see the black PVD (Ti, I assume) balance wheel?  Not something you see often.




I like the slim width shape of this one.








2. 055




Very compact and well made movement inside with lots of transparent area.  Could be in the smaller case?
























Wouldn't mind playing gold with this one












3. Others.
I. 033








II. 017 Extra Flat Tourbillon




III. My favorite AeroDyne
022








I prefer 022 to 021 for its four pillars and 8 bezel screws, and for some reason, 022 is slightly lighter than 021 despite the additional dual time function.








Well made honeycomb dial which very slightly curves in from the bezel side to the center....




021 on my wrist - Not bad at all, but my fav is 022 (ah, if my bank account were.... )








022 on my wrist








That's it. 
I really like 037, and would love to see the Ti version, which hopefully much lighter than RG version.  Also, 055 is another light sport watch with the more "reasonable" price tag.  Sure, I would prefer 038, but it is what it is

Thank you, Shigeta-san (RM Ginza Boutique Manager) for invitation.  I had a great time there.

Hope these novelty will come to near you soon!  Hope you enjoy.

Best,
Ken
