You can probably guess what I think of the RM011 ...
But if you did guess, you'd probably be wrong.
I actually like the looks of all of them!
If I had to pick, it would be either the regular
one (1st photo) or the one with light blue
(last photo), and I'm mostly leaning towards the
one in the last photo.
While some may feel the colors makes the watch
look cheap, I'd say it makes it look more
casual, and could lead someone to think it's
not an expensive watch. I actually like wearing
a nice watch that everyone thinks is an
inexpensive watch. So far, I own a RM010, and
nobody has asked me how expensive it was.
If I said I bought my RM010 for $400 probably
most people would believe me.
By the way, is the one with light blue made in
some limited edition?

While tghe first ( and normal ) series looked appealing, with its strong, modern look, I feel that those colored versions make this RM 011 look cheaper. A bit if a watch turned to a toy... To me, this is sad. Because it totally deserves a quite nicely wel...

Forgive the cliche from those German Bauhaus days, but sometimes less is more, I personally prefer the RM 011 without the color with the simpler black accents. The red and blue models are my least favorite. They do indeed resemble toys as previously state...

I own a Le mans in Gold & green, whilst its a keeper beuase of its collectability, I have to say I am not theat keen on it. Everytime I see the 'standard' Titanium one, I think that looks the best. I agree there is something in the coloured ones that IMHO...
A yes and no answer for me....

With the same argument applying to AP's Royal Oak Offshore colour palet program. There are certain colour combinations that will appeal to one group of consumers over another. Ford moved away from his model T mantra of you can have any colour you like so ...
Totally Agree Allen...

...Hit the nail on the head for me. When you look into the face of an RM11 there is a lot going on, skeleton movement, shiny backplate, stencil date, big 'caution roadworks' date box....its a very busy watch as is. Then when you add colours, it just adds ...

I would like to say that original RM 11 WG is the best, then followed by original Ti and RG models. RM should stop doing coloured limited editions as this is not good for RM brand image in the long term.. RM is not AP. The coloured variations from red, bl...

RM watches first surfaced with astonishing technologies gathering and looks. RM had found a unique and empty market. From RM I guess I expect to see revolutionary modern pieces, but over time what I see is ROO LE, Bell & Ross and BRM methodologies. In the...
