I had the opportunity to try out a couple of gen rm watches, both were over a million models: the rm50 & rm70. The first thing that caught my attention was how light they were. The second thing was that each watch was so well designed that it sits well around the wrist, especially with a Velcro strap. It felt like a sports car on your wrist.
I write this with the hope to get people to understand that when I wore the rm50 ($1.3million). The last thing I was focused on was the bezel. What makes rm watches great is the combination of many well done things, weight, full carbon construction, very well finishing, nice bezel and side profile, Velcro straps, and of course a spectacular movement.
The rm70 (Pharrell watch) shocked my as it was too big and the counter was manual, up and down. It felt so weird to put such a basic counter in an expensive watch. The rm50 on the other hand had the split second movement. The complication is ofcourse second to non. However, I didn't feel comfortable using it a lot, as with any chronograph, it's not advisable to use the chronos a lot.
Again, the guys were super nice and gave me a great introduction into the rm and explained that they have the highest rejection rates for parts in the watch industry due to their selection of only the best parts.
I would like to wrap up by saying the bezel pattern should not be your primary focus. Look at the 1:1 case construction, how the strap slides into the case. Look at the side of the watch and remember that it takes many layers of prepreg carbon tape put at a 45 degree angle, heated at a high temperature and pressure to give you the undestructable case. I think z+f did a good job, they deserve to be appreciated. Think of the cost of the case they bought and their rejection rate.
I'll just wait for the Velcro strap to be produced and then go for it.
