RM016 desirability and issues

RM016 is more expensive than RM010 when RM010 still in production. [nt]

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 an RM016

 
 By: PPJames : December 27th, 2019-05:01
I purchased it for several reasons. Over the past 3-5 years I have noticed that the secondary prices of RM's have risen significantly (including the 016). I had several watches I was NOT wearing, so I sold them and put the funds into an RM016 which I now ...
