well part of the choice is easy

The RM005 versus RM010 is easy. RM010 is much nicer since it is more
of a skeleton. The dial of the RM005 looks like it has parts that really should
be cut away, and RM010 solves this problem. The RM010 also has significant
fixes to the movement that address reliability problems. The RM010 is a very
solid and reliable watch!

The choice of Ti versus WG is more difficult. There are good arguments for
either. My guess it will come down to these main considerations:

1. Do you want something with more heft (WG) or do you really like the fact
that a RM010 with Ti can be so light and comfortable on the wrist?

2. Do you want a brighter metal with smooth polished edges (WG) or do you
want something less bright and more understated with rougher edges (Ti)?

3. Is the price differential of WG over Ti really worth it to you?

Which RM would you choose and why?

By: gazoz : June 30th, 2009-03:03

between RM005 and RM010 any suggestions would be great and difference from Titanium and White gold.

Really not an easy question as only you know what the

By: 219 : June 30th, 2009-03:45

answer is. For me, I would take the RM010 in white gold - prefer some heft and the finish to the precious metal. However, an RM010 in titanium would still be a great watch. Always preferred the RM010 over the 005 - the movement has been improved over time...

Thx Andrew

i like the RM010 as well prefer the WG too but might look to the Ti just a bit worried about titanium scraches as they are harder to get out

for me RM10 hands down

Lone supporter here for 005?

By: Rob : June 30th, 2009-14:35

005 in titanium works for me best based on the choices you outline. Why? It was the first time only watch of RM, no real problems with the movement based on actual usage for the past few years of ownership for a significant majority of owners. Ti is the m...

RM010 for me as well

By: AnthonyTsai : June 30th, 2009-21:54

Ti or WG are great choices, and if I had to choose, I'd choose the WG for the RM010 for the added heft. Cheers, Anthony

I think one of the proclaimed strength of RM watch is use

of light weight yet tough material, to add heft to the watch is like adding gold driving seat to a F1 race car.

RM5 -- WG

By: Craig LA : July 1st, 2009-02:40

The RM10 is a very large watch. I personally find the RM5 a better size and fit. I selected WG over Ti because: (1) I think the watch deserves a precious metal; and (2) WG is much easier to maintain. Craig

RM05 for me

By: marky : July 1st, 2009-06:38

Smaller wrist for me, that is why 05 is my choice. It looks nice as well, not inferior to RM010. I prefer RG though.

RM 005, specially now

By: 777 : July 1st, 2009-17:57

after it was mounted on the rubber strap. Perfect size and fit for me. Don't forget it's the only RM, which is 100m water resistant, with exception of new diver. Thanks, Adi.
