Richard Mille RM005 Felipe Massa S.E [Timesshop]

[GT5]

Shipping took 2 weeks and I paid a good $120+shipping[$20] for the watch and I must admit. It's damn spankin' nice. I get dozens of looks and compliments all over. Kind of weird. Lol The watch fits perfectly fine on my wrist and the weight is easy to get use to. It looks great with everything I wear and even though the color is WAAAY off compared to the gen, it still holds a very distinct style to it. I'm very satisfied with it, but my custom job will have to wait. The DLC and the AR coat. The current coat is all transparent, and lame. -__-

Now for the cons of the watch, not many at all. The strap can get worn out easily and I don't know where to get a replacement, nor do I know how to change it.[No tools] So far, the straps condition is 9/10. The nylon part is wearing off a bit on the tip where you put in between the first metal clip of the watch. I hope that's the only part where it gets messed up, but I want to get it fixed before it gets nasty. It doesn't scratch easily, but I do have a small scuff on the shell a bit. Quite sensitive I might add. I actually dropped my watch and it still looks and works fine, so I can conclude that the only con so far is the nylon/leather strap. The hand is tricky also and the date will be wrong after I set it. I want this to be more of an experiment to learn the watch other than to complain about those two things. So, I will order another color of the watch, unless I get a rep of the RM011, because I'm loving it so much. Thanks a lot to TimesShop.net for keeping in contact and getting me a god quality watch.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Pics. Wrist shots.

Wow! I've not really noticed these RMs before, but this one is really nice!
The case looks too tall for the strap, IMO, but otherwise really cool.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice watch.. great pics.
Tks.

 

[wiscrna]

Hope you like it. Doesn't do much for me, but to each his own.

Wear it well!

Thanks a lot guys! My view is a lot bigger on the quality of watches now. May my watch intellect grow at this young age.

I think I need to expand my taste in watches cause it looks interesting and not instantly recognizable like most reps. Looks like you need a special screwdriver to take it apart though.

Thanks for the pics.

hows the lume hows the lume!!!!!

Regardless of your comments about accuracy, in itself that is a very nice watch, and looks great on the wrist.

I have been hoping for a long time that they would bring out an ultimate or improved version of the RM011 Massa, but perhaps subdial spacing is the issue and the skeletal dial is difficult to replicate accurately.

 

[GT5]

Thanks for all of the love guys!

hows the lume hows the lume!!!!!

I forgot to mention the lume! It's shows pretty good and bright when in a darker room, but it needs to be heated for like 20seconds. It also works when I come in the house from outside on a sunny day. Looks nice when it's lit, but it could be better, imo.

Thanks, Niko! And yeah, I've been looking for the perfect RM011 rep and all of them look weird. Some have a good shape, but the face is off and out of whack. Some have an even better shapes, with a nice rose gold look and even with blue AR coating! But the watch as a whole is Quartz I believe. It will be a trick to get a nice looking model, but I can wait. I'm really thinking about getting another RM005 in SS and getting the blue AR put on. Should look nice.

I would say damn near impossible to replicate. RM watches are so three dimensional I cant see how it could be done. The different metals and composites used in the movement along with every screw is so finley detailed that are truly amazing to look at.

I'm still waiting on an answer from dealers as to whether the strap on this can be replaced with the rubber one from the RM011. I really hope so.

 

[Geoffrey]

Should be the same metal case ( dimension) as the RM011 no?

Same deal here. The leather strap is straight up shit. The watch is very durable though. I ay just chrome it out or get it DLC'd.

I got my watch from Timesshop.net

 

[Geoffrey]

GT5 I ordered the same watch as you in Timesshop.net

I received a confirmation of the order and payment done in my private email, , but when I check my history of my account in Timesshop.net, its says " waiting payment" but its done ( by Visa)
I sent a message to their support ( twice), asking what is that about but i still having no news from them at all.
i don't have even a track number, maybe I have to wait a few days i don't know.

Its a bit strange

was like that for you when you ordered ?

The gens fascinate me because of their high level of engineering ..... a very interesting brand ..

Dude, I made the order when China had it's New Years celebration. I had to wait 2 months because I ordered it on the wrong day. Not to mention, my address got messed up on their computers when shipped. You should have your watch by now though. Mine came pre-wound so I'm assuming yours should be the same.

Tell me about it. ;P
