Thanks!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It amazes me that a 50mm watch of such immense proportions can fit my smallish (7.25 inch) wrist so spectacularly and feel so unobtrusive under a shirt cuff. RM's case design remains peerless in my mind. I compare it to things like my Legacy ROO, and a couple of my old Hublots, and this fits and wears 10x better. The side shot shows how it wraps the wrist perfectly. I am delighted with it. Working through the instruction manual will take some time though!
RM039 Incoming!!!
Finally after a long wait it has arrived! I am so excited! You are all experts here, so I won't bore you with the details of what this amazing beast can do! It is of course huge and very fussy, and clearly won't appeal to a lot of people, but I love it an...
Fantastic news and congrats!
Well done Conkers! RMs are slowly warming up to me. All of you RM lovers are spreading the poison very well here! :) Enjoy your new RM039 in the best of health! cheers robin
Brilliant! And my heart felt congratulations on a fabulous watch.
I will be writing more about this watch, and its slightly more complicated sibling in the coming months. But for now, you are the first person I know of to receive one, so my congratulations and my thanks for sharing it here. Andrew H

Heavy hitter!
Wow, I am stunned. What a beauty. Congratulations to you Conkers for an amazing catch on this RM039; first 'real' pictures I've seen and it I can't stop looking! Looks great on your wrist, and assuredly it will keep you occupied while in the air ;) Congra...

It's just so cool
I have to admit I immediately went back to re-read the press release on this to be able to grasp the functions... so many components in the slide rule alone! The hours spent on researching the best way to display the indications in a readable fashion, not...
Finally: Been sitting on these images for years
Conkers, Congratulations on getting a most complicated Richard Mille RM039 watch. Fortunately, you can only test it to a "effective cabin altitude" equivalent to 6000 - 8000 ft in pressurised civilian aircraft even if they flew higher.. If you had a Syber...
Thanks MTF!
The tourbillon is spectacular - over 1000 components.........but little brother is still a complex beast! Thanks for the photos and the extra information.
What a beast!
Wow, this is even more of a beast than the Beast is (Yohan Blake's) Congrats on the new piece! I hesitate to call his a watch as i feel the term Horological Machine is more apt. Does MB&F have all rights to that phrase?
Size
The epic scale of this beast is easier to discern in this shot, by reference my wrist is 7.25". ...
Great watch!!
Congrats Roger on an awesome watch. It looks massive masculine and cool.
Fantastic
Wow Roger you actually got a 39, massive congrats on an amazing piece, what a pick up. It looks spectacular on our wrist and I am certain you will have fun playing around with it - their is just so much going on with the dial on that piece, it is mind bog...
Huge congratz Conkers :)
I didn't like the divers' look really but when I saw this one as a project last year I truly found the details'evolution changed it all. It is a very attracting RM and I wish you to wear it as often as you can. Cheers, Mark
Thanks Mark!
I have owned two 28s in the past. I loved them but my better half did not. I showed her a photo of this a year ago expecting the same response but she loved it. Can't quite explain but i was delighted and then the only challenge was getting one. I first o...
very nice!!
I wear my watch(es) on my right wrist since I am left handed. never hand an issue. RM39 looks awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks, it still gets more wrist time than all my other watches, so the novelty has not worn off yet!
No problem!
I wear double cuff shirts to work every day - I normally wear chain cufflinks which give a bit more space than "pivot" cufflinks. I don't think there's any chance of wearing this with a regular single cuff shirt!!!
very true!
i just stopped by Cellini at there was an RM39 in the window!!! WOW!! huge watch and stunning!!!
