I love it - and it is ideal for its purpose...

I understand the critics' commentary re the excessive functionality. However, the 025 was not designed to be a working every day diving piece; clearly, it includes the RM "Standard" (the R & P tourbillon) which is both accurate, highly functional and durable. It also uses the 008 chrono function without the unnecessary split seconds function.

The watch is, IMHO, gorgeous. It can be worn on vacation as a fab looking dress or casual piece, and then taken into the sea.

I know that Richard has been working on this for some time. Originally, the shape of the watch was to be in the hallmark tonneau shape. However, as the press release details below, Richard in the end had to go with a circular case because of the uneven pr...  

Interesting....

Kudos to RM for creating something out of the box. If only Urwerk would stop resting on their laurels, and produce something comparable for their similar price range.

um sorry but don't understand the comparaison wit Urwerk and wonder how

Urwerk can be considered as resting on their laurels?

I'm sorry...

if you don't get what i mean. What i meant is that i don't see Urwerk producing as many new movements, designs. Other than the satelite design. Enlighten me.

I don't think you can really compare the two brands: RM has based

its success on tourbillons in tonneau cases whereas Urwerk in alternative time displays. RM kakes a few thousand watches a year, Urwerk about 200. RM is not a watch maker but has great ideas which are then put to life by Renaud & Papi, Felix Baumgartner i...

critiquing a dive watch

One thing that needs to be taken into consideration when critiquing a dive watch is that serious divers these days mostly use quartz dive watches. For one thing, diving is a very dangerous sport, so for safety reasons, divers use more reliable quartz watc... 

Thanks Andrew for the news.

I'v never really been interested in a RM before, but this is the 1st that's getting me interested, because of the fact that its a diver's watch (related to the ocean, my most favourite environment!) And the size is amazing, my favourite, BIG BIG WATCH! Or... 

Wow thats big
