Gen is unmatchable... 16 grams. Movement = 3 g

Sent from the RWI App

It's actually just a little heavier.
The older RM27 and RM27-01 were around 19 grams without the strap but the RM27-02 is closer to 30 grams without the strap.

Here are pics taken from Instagram:

you mean the reps actually weigh only about 30 grams? That's really light for a watch isn't? I mean without comparing to a gen RM

All these weights are for the gens, the pictures are of gens too (not mine, a collector on Instagram).

Really want to pull the trigger on one of these but unsure of which dealer to get it from, so TS is good or no good? Do they stock the latest version? Cheers guys

16 grams.. that's difficult to imagine. 3 grams of movement how did they even manage that? Not only is it light as a feather but it's extremely sturdy. Nadal plays tennis with it and there's no damage to the movement.
That's precisely why they are resistant to shock, because there's no mass with which to cause any damage upon impact! It's a simple but really effective solution to shock resistance.

Be aware though that Nadal is a left handed player. He wears his RM on the right hand when playing. Whacking a tennis ball traveling at over 90 mph with a racket will soon cause irreparable damage to any movement, RM included.

having said he's a right hand by nature who happens to hold the racquet with his left hand...he hits backhand 2 handed and from a technical point of view that is the stroke which gives him an immense advantage over almost any other player. But i'm digressing and i truly believe in what RM states for this...on the 27-03 they even made it more shock resistant

Hey guys, I have been combing this website to find the right one, what kind of quality are these reps? Basically, can you swim in them, shower? How are they lasting. I am looking to get a top quality one, 4-600 dollar range. Cheers!
