Finally saw this.... and



Going to have to get the second best thing.... I want the RM035 in my life!!!!

 

I think the RM 035 (Nadal) is much better looking than that one. DO IT

 

That is the RM027 (Tourbillon Nadal).....

this is the RM035

 

I know that is the tourb version. Much more expensive and horologically interesting, but I like the style of the bridges being all solid cast with the hands being open much better in the RM 035. I put Nadal in parenthesis for the RM035 because it is also a Nadal but does not carry the RN on the crystal like the RM027

 

Still waiting for the RM035 to hit the stores.... meanwhile found this to be cool

The EDOX wrc 36001

wow that rm 035 is fvckng sweeeeeeeeet!!
on my fone so i cant read much, but a basic research reveals that it is a magnesium aluminum case so is that black pvd or dlc or cer coating or what

details to read plz

 

More on RM 035 from the fine watch review:


After having won in 2010 the trio of masters tournaments that are Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows at the wrist of Rafael Nadal, Richard Mille has now developed the RM 035, an evolution of the RM 027 with a movement weighing just 4,3 grams.

The manual winding, skeletonized caliber RMUL1 beating at the heart of the RM 035 Rafael Nadal represents the first manual winding movement in the Richard Mille collection to have Chronofiable® certification.

Everything has been designed and engineered to eliminate dead weight. For example, a casing ring is no longer used and the movement is mounted on chassis mounting rubbers (ISO SW) fastened by 4 titanium screws. The RM 035 case is made of an extremely rugged and light alloy called magnesium-aluminium (composed of 90% magnesium and 8.9% aluminium), one of the lightest metals used for construction.

The skeletonization process of the RM 035 movement, which weighs in at a mere 4.3 grams, took one year to finalize, as there could be no compromise in the movement’s strength or ability to withstand shocks under the rigors of Chronofiable® certification. The caliber RMUL1, with 24 jewels and beating at 4Hz, has a free sprung balance with variable inertia, guaranteeing greater reliability when subjected to shock and during movement assembly and disassembly. The regulator index is replaced by 4 small adjustable weights located directly on the balance, providing more accurate and repeatable adjustment possibilities.

After the RM 035′s case gets through the machining phase, it is given an electro-plasma oxidation treatment, which results in a cristalline oxide ceramic coating. The blackish color is due to light-resistant spinels that are chemically inert, that is to say magnesium oxides and aluminium oxides with a particular structure. This improves both hardness and scratch resistance in this alloy as well as its wear and corrosion properties. This treatment applied to magnesium-aluminium is biocompatible and is applied in aerospace, automotive industries and the medical sector.

The case of the RM 035 is water-resistant to 50 meters, ensured by two Nitril O-ring seals. The case is assembled with 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and abrasion resistant washers in 316L stainless steel.

The RM 035 is the first Richard Mille watch Chronofiable® certified, which represents a new milestone in the conquest for long lasting performance in extreme conditions.

 

Kevin, must spread rep, thanks!
not sure about the manual wind otherwise a super-cool watch indeed

 

this page boke my heart

 

My first watch of significance will be a Breitling Superocean.

You guys have some impressive collections!
