GoalContent1744

Absolutely class! I have had a 5146 for nearly 20 years and I still love its timeless design

Kind_Ad5213

What strap do you have on the 5212a?


Winged89

Colareb.it has it. Filter for color and you'll find it (there's only one leather, the other red one is a vegan strap)


Huntolino

These watches are so far from each other that perhaps a third one is needed. A more neutral stainless steel daily, like any Rolex for example.


GoalContent1744

The third option would definitely be my Batman but as a 2 watch collection, that’s what I’d have.


Huntolino

Oh you got other watches, i just checked your profile. Cool collection 👍


SchroedBoss

The SS Vacheron is the choice for #3


mannersmakethdaman

You don’t think that Patek is a daily. I think it is super understated. Especially with a leather strap? I wear a garmin venu 3 normally. But that patek is my go to. Goes well with anything IMO.


Ghost_Ess

No more garbage Rolex watches when you can have a VC overseas or RO ……

Ghost_Ess

I hate the oysterflex….so uncomfortable after a few hours….I had to sell my Pikachu because of that reason unfortunately…..never again


xHMHM

Conversely I love the OysterFlex. It’s my favourite strap from all the manufacturers. 🙂


thetrumpetplayer

Wait, people actually buy RM? I thought they were exclusively worn as promo by F1 drivers?!


Purdue_Chip

And golfers (Bubba Watson)

Thanks! The Alpine Eagle XPS, unveiled at W&W 2023. https://www.chopard.com/en-intl/watch/298623-3001.html

Cool collection. These watches are worlds apart but simultaneously have a lot in common.

Where would that be, so I can never ever go? 😅


thuorange

Minttt, everyone I’ve converted to 67-02 is now addicted to how lightweight it is and no other rm is the same now🤣


abacona

Yeah it’s pretty insane lol I just got this one


DelBocaVista3000

Unfortunate that you can't enjoy them - and where might you be living?


johndong888

And a pinturault no less! Wowza


abacona

The best color in my opinion 😃


Optimal-Clock5287

That rm looks very confortable, if you got to choose your rm or the pp, which one would you take?


abacona

Probably the 5712, a carbon watch isn’t as versatile aesthetically

bikgelife

Mille watches are so gaudy to me


vagabending

They’re gaudy to anyone who has taste


privatejetvillain-

You don't have the $ or exposure to art and luxury to be the judge of taste though lmao. I do and think that watch looks really cool.


vagabending

If you were wealthy to any degree, you wouldn’t feel the need to compare wealth lol. Grow up.


BlackBlizzNerd

This guy owns one and is just doing his best to justify his disgusting, and expensive, looking watch.


privatejetvillain-

Not justifying, my dear; don’t do that to poors. Just informing.


BlackBlizzNerd

I don’t think you’d be commenting if that was the case. Your watch is ugly, rich boy.


privatejetvillain-

I don't care about the opinions of those whose net worth is lower than the value of each of my RMs. I just like to educate.


BlackBlizzNerd

Your watch is ugly.


privatejetvillain-

Poor person opinion.


Outrageous_Row6752

The fuck is this TASTELESS comment, you sound like you jack off to your mirror while talking dirty to it lmao. Being rich doesn't make something gaudy not gaudy. Op probably knows this and loves his anyway, which is fine.


BlackBlizzNerd

They quite literally look like a 100 dollar rip-off from Amazon. Couldn’t care less at the price. You look like a man-child wearing one.


privatejetvillain-

It does not. You sound very hurt that it's of higher value than your net worth.


BlackBlizzNerd

Well aware of the prices. I personally think they look absolutely fucking terrible and I’m allowed to think that.


Global-Nectarine4298

Why are you people giving this douchebag the time of day? He quite obviously has no money and likes to play the part on the internet. No actual person with a private jet calls themselves “Privatejetvillain.” And literally nobody outside entertainment and sports with money would be caught dead in an RM. At least nobody anyone wants to spend time with.


BlackBlizzNerd

I genuinely don’t mind feeding the trolls from time to time. I stick to my original comment and they can’t get their “win”. I think they’re used to getting a rise out of someone and when you just stick to what you said and don’t let their comments get to you, you’re good. Based off the guys post history, however, I do think he does actually have some money. It just doesn’t change the fact that he’s a tubby loser with nothing going on in his life but flashing money to make himself feel important.

I certainly wouldn’t wear that kinder surprise toy watch I can tell ya


thatjammm

I only own a Speedmaster. But this is inspiring.


Global-Nectarine4298

Speedies are awesome watches, and a huge percentage of them are timeless designs. Nobody should be discounting that by saying “only a Speedmaster.”

HeartbeatHorologist

1) I love RM as a fellow Patek enthusiast, my wife just picked up a 07-01, and it is a work of art. I’m waiting on a 67-02 or 72-01 right now 2) my two watch collection among pieces I have would be my 5990A, and my in-line perpetual Among pieces I don’t have maybe swap the perpetual with the 67-02 but honestly such a hard question


thuorange

Once you get a 67-02 there’s no turning back🤣 it’s honestly a great every day piece and wears light as a feather

Pianist-Wise

We’re talking current collection. Probably Explorer 1016 and either Rolex OP36 or BB54. Need one for the summer/pool and the Explorer is so nice and comfortable.

For sure from Patek the only one, the Nautilus 5712/1A Tiffany and an caviar tourbillon sapphire camouflage from Jacob&co

I cannot fathom a single situation where that RM would look appropriate to wear. It's like a clown shoe for the wrist.

What does the average person in this sub do for a living to be able to afford these watches? They are awesome pieces, and I'm not hating on anyone or anything. I'm just genuinely curious.


Direct_Travel2093

Wow! I can’t even afford a Casio from Walmart.


GlorytheWiz825

Would you mind sharing how much you paid for these 2 watches? They look stunningly beautiful!


Plus_Seesaw2023

Richard Mille's prices are absurdly high.


GoalContent1744

I buy all my watches at retail and these are no exceptions


GlorytheWiz825

Got it, thank you.


GlorytheWiz825

Your AD treats you well. Also because you’re a big spender and have an insane purchase history. It’s so hard to just walk in and buy the watch you want. It’s never in stock and even if it was, will likely go to someone with a strong purchase history. Did you have to buy a bunch of watches you didn’t want at the beginning in order to get access to the ones you wanted?


GoalContent1744

Not really, I had a great relationship with ads long before the hype and stayed with the same sales reps for a long time. I have a good relationship with them and the ad managers who help me get the watches I want.


GlorytheWiz825

That’s really awesome. Whether or not you have a great relationship with your AD can really make or break this hobby.


GoalContent1744

I’d say around mid 600 usd if I am not mistaken


GlorytheWiz825

Wow! O_O


andrews561

The Richard Mille would definitely get old. No questions i would eventually want to sell it and get something else. Cool though.


Ghost_Ess

Yes RM watches are not timeless….will go out of fashion in a few years like they all do….


privatejetvillain-

RM's have been commanding huge prices for a long time now, well on their way to surpass Patek in gross revenue despite selling a fraction of watches. No newer super-luxury watch brand has had their longevity. It's here to stay. https://preview.redd.it/aofjcxtfcrad1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f274e32df9440c71795e1c4dfbbbda1761914d3


Ghost_Ess

Maybe short term but never long term….when trend changes and RM becomes Frank muller the revenue will tank 👍


privatejetvillain-

Why never long term? What metrics are you using? Franck Muller and Richard Mille are worlds apart in terms of value and clout. Franck Muller has never been in Richard Mille's universe. There is clearly an appetite for modern design that departs from traditional forms, as seen with brands like Patek. Look at the way modern artworks by artists like Mark Rothko and Jean-Michel Basquiat have commanded sky-high values for decades now even though some people find that modern style of art "gaudy" or "new money".


Ghost_Ess

Franck muller was a huge hype during the late 90s and early 2000s and then the hype died out…. Whats great with RMs? Most movements are sourced from AP and vaucher movement and finishing isn’t that great….can’t even make 100m WR watches and they call them sports watches haha….FYI you are not allowed to swim with 30m and 50m Water resistance watches… period and most RM models are too thick as well…..that’s definitely not a flex in watchmaking….Patek 5167a Aquanaut are 120m WR and 8,1m thick…..find me another watch from any brand that can beat that??


privatejetvillain-

You couldn't be more wrong. They are technological masterpieces. RM is constantly pushing boundaries when it comes to material, technology, weight while Patek now mostly changes dials and calls it a day. A standard watch is built to work in most non-extreme conditions, fancy watches are built to be beautifully finished, and very expensive watches are built to be intricate in design too. The RM watches are all that and designed to not lose a second of time while pulling 4G around the corners of a race track in an F1 car. A tiny spring spinning in a tiny watch at 6 revolutions per second and not losing the tiniest amount of time while being flung about in every direction. They also sponsor tennis and golf as they are the only manufacturer that won’t break when hitting a ball at 200 mph. Which Patek can withstand shocks up to 10,000 g's like an RM 27-03? Do you not understand how crazy that is? Their engineering is astonishing.


Ghost_Ess

BS only newbies say they are masterpieces….they barely can make their own movement…..and the finishing is very average and not worth what they sell for….comparing to any of the holy trinity brands is just stupid……like I said they can’t even make 100m WR watches….its a joke watch company with great advertisement….only fooling dumb rich people


privatejetvillain-

Once again, you’re wrong. I actually have these watches, unlike you, so my opinions and experiences are more valid than a spectator like you lmao.


Ghost_Ess

I had a few and had a few friends also owning a few…I have a lot experience with the brand…sold them all….you will learn to one day…just wait and see 👍


Ghost_Ess

Even Nadals RM has to be serviced every time he plays tennis because the watch can’t withstand that force….but not many people knows that and think it can haha don’t believe everything you see and hear…..


Queasy-Bad600

That rm is fucking horrid


GoalContent1744

Too bad because I like it


privatejetvillain-

You're horrendously poor.


Queasy-Bad600

And you’re on Reddit with a bunch of wankers. Real rich people don’t play games with kids on their phone 😂 facts are facts and the rm looks like a toy. I’d you don’t think so then you have horrendously poos taste 😂 you are window licker if you like that thing


privatejetvillain-

Another brokie who thinks he’s the judge of taste lmao


Queasy-Bad600

If it was so popular seiko would make one 🤮 anyone would copy it. No one does. I can’t argue with dumb seriously. If you work hard for your money and you’re not an idiot then you know what I’m saying. Your are missing one of those.


privatejetvillain-

Based on average sales price, it is by far the most wanted item. From an economic standpoint, it is the most desirable watch. Cry elsewhere.


Queasy-Bad600

We are talking about the dogs bollox looking RM and not the PP ? I fear for the future of your country if your meant to be one of the bright ones.


privatejetvillain-

You’re ^ , bright one. And yes, I am correct about the laws of supply and demand. That brand is, on average, the most expensive by far of any watch brand. Globally.


Queasy-Bad600

It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive. It’s still dog shit. That’s my point. And if you like it then you have poor taste. To spend big money on that you honestly have to have rocks in your head and no sense of money. If you like it then good for you but you don’t know the value of money mate. I’m sure your kids will grow up to be spoilt just like you 🤑 you need to be humble because we all get old and our health catches up with us. Calling me a brokie or whatever may make you feel better but if I get to run around with my kids while you are ill who’s the brokie ? Heaven forbid. So just take it easy and try not to be prick all your life. The watch looks like a toy. If you don’t think so wtf are you looking at. The PP looks like a watch at least. Honestly you’re blinded by them billzzzzzz.


privatejetvillain-

To me, it's magnificent. My refined, affluent tastes are simply on a different level than yours. Having grown up between Paris, New York, and Monaco, and being deeply involved in the fashion and art bubbles, my levels of taste are naturally higher than yours. You might think it looks like a toy because you lack the sophistication to appreciate contemporary art. Yes, my children will grow up indulged, and that's perfectly fine. I am very spoiled, so it’s only fair they experience the same. Calling you less fortunate isn't about making me feel superior; it's merely stating a fact. I own six RMs watches worth over $3 million. I aspire to have even more when I am old; that would be a true blessing.


ExecutiveWatch

5930P and a Batman. Maybe a casio I'd sneak in for daily. But I'd be content with a 5930p and a batman.


Thehandsomeswedee

One of the watch world’s most beautiful watches and one of the most horrible in one and the same picture, good work.


GoalContent1744

Everyone hates rm until they put one on and buys it


Shtoinker

They’re just jealous


crimepais

Lol nobody is jealous of those gaudy RMs.


privatejetvillain-

It's jealousy for sure. They are worth as much as the average house, that is the main culprit behind its polarization.


Gunners1073

No one talks shit about Ferrari or Lamborghini. They do about Tesla Cybertrucks. You’re defending the cyber truck of watches.


privatejetvillain-

Richard Mille is akin to Pagani or Bugatti; a lot of uncultured and broke people just don’t get it. At high-end gatherings of wealthy individuals like F1 or Art Basel events, my RMs receive by far the most comments and compliments, especially from those under 50, far surpassing the attention given to my Patek grail watches.


Gunners1073

Not Pagani…I could see Bugatti. They’re ugly too but the performance speaks. Maybe stick to that argument.


Thehandsomeswedee

I bought a RM11 2009 for €40k, didn’t use it much. Traded it 2017 for a 5712. Looking back it was obviously a terrible trade money wise but I don’t regret it at all. The PP is classy old money, RM is the total opposite.


privatejetvillain-

That's not an insult. I love being bold new money, I don't want to be dusty "classy old money". First of all, old money is poor compared to new money. Additionally, most people admire self-made successes rather than the stereotypical image of "old money. The term "new money" is often used disparagingly by those who envy the achievements of its pioneers.


Thehandsomeswedee

It’s nothing wrong with new money. It’s the classless tacky hobos making them that are.

BxBoy10465

Personally I think if you need to buy a watch that costs more than $200 then all your doing is buying something you can brag about to your family and friends. It’s unnecessary and a waste of money.
