RM27-05 Released

[engmae]

If you actually click on the link and read the article the 18.83 grams is for the RM 27-01 not the RM27-05. Not always a good idea to rely on Google/AI. DYOR

So total weight with strap 11.5g??

No. 11.5g is just the watch.

The strap should be around 15-20g depending on length

The velcro strap cheapens it for me.

Lowkey this seems more promising than the RM67-02 honestly. At $6500 the 67-02 is stupidly overpriced. This 27-05 at least is thin, nice, and cheap.

I still wish to determine if it's a quartz movement or what. Not that I mind if it's quartz. If it's quartz it might be a great RM daily replica.

RM daily ? You have quite a set of iron balls m8 !

Where I am in Asia for business (Bangkok/SEA), I legitimately see so many fake RMs all the time I'm unfazed.

Honestly, travelling SEA, Japan, Hong Kong, and other such places, I came to realize luxury watches are not that rare. I tried to count the Rolexes on my most recent trip to HK and I stopped after the 2nd day because I just kept seeing Datejusts everywhere. And the most random places too. On the street. Eating at some street food mall. Guy on the subway opposite you. etc

I do not think that I've seen a fake RM in the wild. All the ones I've spotted have the correct AR and case thickness, and were worn by people who could afford one. But I bet it's different overseas.

I've seen a few real RMs at the local watch meet ups in Asia. But none of the "heavy hitter" pieces. I still want to see a RM011 in real life some day. All of them were entry level stuff like RM010. Not sure if it's just the local watch meetups/clubs I've been to but I find that the collectors here don't like RM, they prefer AP/Patek/Rolex. Or maybe they're just "wealthy" and not "generational billionaire wealthy" lol

I've been dailying RMs for years, it's tons of fun. I also think that looks like a killer daily or a weekend watch, especially if it's a quartz. I would totally throw one on to work on the car or at the track or range and not worry about power reserve or timesetting.

My body is ready. How do I get it?

I tried to count the Rolexes on my most recent trip to HK

How many did you count?
I’d give up after the first hundred Rolexes within the first street I’m walking on for 5 minutes.

Wasn't too bad the first day, around 20-25, on people's wrists around the city and coming from the airport, but when I got into the shopping streets/Nathan Road and the surrounding Central Area, I stopped counting because I think I lowball estimate saw over 200-300 alone on that street amongst grey market dealers and Rolex ADs.

On people's wrists I mainly saw :

1. Two tone Datejust (lots of old guys wearing this, like, an insane amount, maybe HK has the highest density of two tone 36mm Datejusts in the world)
2. Datejust modern variant 41mm/36mm (alot of diamond dial variants, maybe people like diamonds in Asia more?),
3. Submariners - Hulk was surprisingly popular. Saw more Kermits than Black Subs.
4. GMT I didn't see many Pepsis but an UNGODLY amount of black bezel 116710LNs, maybe it's popular there.

Didn't see many Daytonas, I think I saw less than 10 on people's wrist, mostly old generation stuff. I saw 0 Pandas in HK, and when I asked some grey market dealers about the popularity of the Daytona, they told me, it's very popular, but HK people don't wear it, they leave it in a safe to invest and wear their "cheap" Rolexes (cheap to them is under 100,000 HKD or around $10,000 USD).

It reminded me of what a collector I knew a few times told me, he basically said, "Rolex is like G-Shock for rich people. To them it's a daily wear watch. Only poor people idolize Rolex." Which was a bit harsh but I can see why he said it, it's very true. Rolex is very common out and about in HK, it's nothing special.

Other watch brands I saw on people's wrist.... mainly AP to be honest. Saw a few offshores and a really nice rose gold 15202 someone in a suit was wearing. No Pateks out in the wild, probably because if you have Patek money you ain't slumming it in the subway and walking on the streets, you're in a private car in HK.

Reading that back I sound psychotic, like I just stare at people's wrists all day on vacation LOL. Can't help it.

that does not surprise me at all, it can be seen right here in this forum. to me, those watches are boring. now, idc what anyone wears, but if thats all there was i would not be here.

wtf is wrong with this software. i quote one message and i get 2, delete one and it fucks up the other. i have been on the internet for 25 years, this software is some of the shittiest i have ever used.

The rep is available however its got a 9015 movement so no tourbillion movement so dead giveaway and its priced around $450 so fairly well priced i guess given the size

Yea no expectation of a working tourbillion here. However would be nice if it spun like a seconds hand.
