The reporter was right, the watch looks like a kids watch. Let’s be honest. Just knowing that it’s a RM and what it costs doesn’t make it otherwise. I mean, it’s the candy collection, so obviously that’s the look RM wanted. No shame in it. The basketball player should have taken it with pride and said: Yes indeed. But I like it. So what?
Part of the flex of wearing a RM is precisely that money is so inconsequential to you that you're willing to spend a quarter million dollar on something that looks like it is sold for 60 bucks on AliExpress.
The car retails for over $2m, and since it's a limited edition hypercar, you can expect a $3m+ resale value. So that's six times the value of the watch.
Copy and paste was easier for this lol. Im lazy today. "An alloy of titanium, aluminum, and vanadium that's also known as Ti-6Al-4V. Grade 5 titanium is harder and more difficult to work with than other types of titanium, but it's also more scratch-resistant and has a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Grade 5 titanium is often used in higher-end manufacturing, such as in watches."
Both the Porsche and Heuer got the Carrera name from the Carrera Panamericana, albeit from 1963 rather than 1964, so it's not really surprising that they would commemorate the event.
Yes the color of the*aceluxs*is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
The simple answer is yes, grade 5 Titanium is an upgrade. It's an alloy of Titanium and looks almost identical to stainless steel instead of having that very dull flat grey color typical of Grade 2 Titanium.
The higher grades doesn't equal better, always depends on use cases. Titanium grade 2 is generally selected where aqueous corrosion resistance and/or formability is required
It has nothing to do with better or worse. It's all about looks. Grade 5 is very shiny and silvery like Stainless Steel. Grade 2 has a very dull matt dark grey appearance. That's what a lot of people don't like about Titanium. Grade 5 solves this.
I really like the new RM even though it's so out of my price range. Great new Omega Speedmaster, love it. The HYT Japan Special Edition is going to sell out. Thanks Roman😊
Even if you do know about watches you comment thats looks like a kids watch. It 100% looks like a kids watch and dont let the price fool you their quality is garbage
Most all celebrity made products are not worth the money. I dont expect the Trump watch to be any different. Just Trump has an irrational level of hate against him.

the watch COSTS more than the car, doesn't mean it's WORTH more than the car

It's like Richard mille is trying to insult your intelligence
So yes, it is a kid watch.

Lots of watches say titanium but it's definitely the grade that makes a difference. Most use the cheapest grade for sales.
I agree. Surprised a guy who says he's been in the business for 20 years doesn't know Titanium has different grades.
What properties do we want in titanium? Is higher grade equal to better?
Future topic: Any thoughts on An Ordain and their enamel dials? Not quite Moser, but budget friendly craftsmanship.

You can’t buy taste. 🤷♂️

Aren’t you a relatively new fan of F1? Remember not too long ago when you were trying to pick a team.
The many RM watches won't last the test of time, we will look back and wonder WTH happened....
The journo knew exactly what he was asking…….”free” publicity. Love to see what the reporter got paid
1 man's opinion..
seems like you rambled a bit more "off topic" this time around, and spoke less about actual watches
Again right…

Thanks Roman😊
I don’t car if the RM was 20 bucks, I wouldn’t wear that hideous piece.
I don't love the look of the W1. I thought the P1 was beautiful but the W1 just looks boring imho
Fauxtina is never good on any watches.

RM is hot garbage bought by rich people desperate to be noticed. That reporter is 100% right. Nobody should need a lecture on what makes "luxury".
What about the Trump watches? Just curious
he is boring driving around in that black Audi
As Trump fans you should review the Trump watches? Guess other viewers are curious as well how you rate them?
As a watch fan, the watch is trash
Most all celebrity made products are not worth the money. I dont expect the Trump watch to be any different. Just Trump has an irrational level of hate against him.
Why would RM W1 preform better than the under retail RM Speedtail @luxurybazar
