Watching the F1 grand prix from yesterday, and admiring Leclerc's Richard Mille...think it's a 67-02.
Just need to find a quarter of a million down the side of the sofa!😀

I noticed that, too. Rafa was wearing his $1MM RM last week while playing at the Madrid Open. Crazy.

Is there something "wow" about the watch other than the price?

I have yet to see anything from RM that I would ever wear, even if the prices were “reasonable”.
Easily my least favorite watch brand.

you missed the RM005. 38mm. [Reasonably] priced under $100k and wearable.

Have always liked the tonneau shape in a watch, but not acquired one, as yet! Just amazes me that they have been able to cram all that function and tech into a watch less than 8mm thick! Have um'd and ah'd about a cartier for a long while, but can't find the love.
Perhaps a Bulova curvex, more my pay scale, once I can match condition to price.

I am not a fan of the shape and the size. For that sort of money you could if you wanted buy a Patek 5711A and a Porsche 911 turbo.

And a row of terraced houses in Hartlepool....guess it's relative, as with everything in life.

Pretty sure Martin Brundle was wearing a Richard Mille as well.
Yeah, I think he's a brand ambassador, much like Jackie Stewart is to Rolex

My main problem with nearly all Richard Mille watches is the illegibility.
You can't tell the bloody time at a glance for the most part, as such I think they're an absurdity,
albeit technically very competent and often quite innovative.

I find all of them very unattractive, nothing classy or interesting about them in my opinion 😕

Okay, I have to admit that I could see myself wearing that one. It's possibly the first one I've seen on which you can actually tell the time at a glance, something I demand from most of my watches (I make an exception for my Breitling Cosmonaute).

hunt for the titanium version. It’s could be your new daily. They all easily readable in real life. (Time telling is optional in this category, anyways).

Leclerc's RM 67-02, for posterity.
Apparently, a thief stole the watch last year while Leclerc was signing autographs.

He probably couldn't tell the time on it either😉
..but I can, it's clearly 8:50👍
...or 2:20

But really though, how awful..
..and of course the mugging
The same thing happened to Lando at Wembley, they literally cut it off his wrist when he was getting into his McLaren..
Horrible! Thieves have such bad taste::facepalm1::

Nadal had a Mille stolen in Paris a few years ago, Richard Mille (the man) called him to tell him not to let it spoil his win. The watch was recovered.

We know one RM wrist watch has been used in space: Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa on Soyuz MS-20 in December 2021...
Meanwhile RM Richard Mille in cycling... RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat on orange band:

Yeah, I totally just don't GET RM watches. They are just not attractive to me in any way. Though, I dislike AP watches for the same reason, so I probably just don't have good taste 😁
