Today, I'm going to be doing a review on the Richard Mille RM35 versus the RM11.
Now, these two watches are very successful models from the brand.
Overall, I tend to feel like these are the ones that most people call me and request
that they're looking for, both new and pre-owned.
There's just not enough of them out there to supply the demand and there's a little
bit of difference between both models.
For the most, the big difference would be between the two is that the RM035 Nadal is
pretty much just a manual wound.
There's no complication there in the movement.
It�s got no dial.
Carbon only.
Case is only available in forged carbon and it's just pretty much got that special cradle
system where the movement lies on shock absorbers.
Pretty much is meant to play tennis...if you feel like wearing a Richard Mille while you
play tennis.
Whereas the RM11 is a bit more complicated.
It's got a flyback chronograph function with the date and it comes in many different options.
I did a review video in the past on the traditional RM011 Felipe Massa, which just came with the
standard dial configuration.
These particular examples I have here today are more special editions.
This one being the Red Demon; only 30 pieces of this one available.
And this one being the prototype RM 11 Shotblast in titanium.
Pretty much is titanium with a sandblast finish and a DLC coating.
Some of the obvious differences are going to be the size.
The RM11 tends to be a little bit bigger, a little bit more of a robust case, slightly...a
little bit thicker, obviously to accommodate the automatic movement and the complications.
It's got a beautiful, glass dial and I personally tend to lean more towards the RM011...my favorite,
just because I kind of like the whole business that's going on on the dial.
It just tends to attract my attention better.
And there's a couple of different options.
You got them in titanium...both a brushed and blasted.
You got this one that's DLC coated.
You have rose gold, so there's just many different options available with the RM11.
For me, the RM011 tends to be the best seller.
Although you can't go wrong...the Nadal tends to be incredibly light and, for some reason,
I found a lot of people are trading in their 11's for the Nadal.
So a couple of the differences between the RM 035 and the RM 011 is also strap options.
I have seen and I have done it myself, put a standard rubber strap on the Nadal, but
traditionally, this comes in the Velcro strap.
Now, one thing I just always like about the 11 is this design here....looks almost like
shark gills on the strap.
That tends to always just grab my attention.
It's just a good-looking strap that just pretty much goes well with the whole case design
and the way it fits on the wrist.
The overall design of both these watches are meant to fit on the wrist like a glove.
I can't seem to stress enough how comfortable this watch is.
And I've had had people tell me, �Hey, it looks kind of uncomfortable,� but believe
it or not, this watch is very, very comfortable.
It's like incredibly comfortable!
It's probably the most comfortable watch I've ever worn in my life as opposed to some expensive
watches I've worn that are very uncomfortable.
So when it comes to the strap options between both watches, they are interchangeable, although
the RM35 traditionally comes with the Kevlar on Velcro strap.
I preferably love the rubber strap.
Any one of those RM's I have them here with red straps, but there's many colors available,
from light blue to neon green, to white, to black.
There's pretty much any color that you could find that you're going to like.
They go good with every color.
I preferably between both tend to lean more towards the RM11 just because I like the complexity
of the dial.
I like all that that's going on there.
For me, the RM 011 just like this one, just appears to just...that's the one that just
does it for me from the first day.
When they first debuted the brand, they came out with that RM10...I was kind of like, it
just looked very cheap to me.
No offense to you RM10 owners out there.
It's just that when they came out with the 11...that's the one that I really said, �Wow!
That did it for me.!�
So, it's hard to choose between the 35 and the 11.
There both heavy players in the game.
This is pretty much the pinnacle of the sports model watches for the ultra, ultra luxury
sport model watches.
And if I had to choose one, I would probably go with the RM11.
That tends to be the one that just...I don't know what it is man...I guess it's just that
complexity of the dial.
As ignorant as it might sound, the two extra buttons on the side of the case.
For me, I just like it.
It just looks a little bit more busy.
It's just the one that I've always liked.
And as far as the Watch Game goes, you can't go wrong with any Richard Mille in the Watch
Game.
Richard Mille is a serious, serious brand right now at this moment.
And I don't know why...lately a lot of people have been trading in their RM11's for the
35, possibly because they've already had the RM11...they used it for a while and they want
to do a change.
For me, the winner of the RM 035 vs the RM 011 is always going to be the RM 011.
Prices between the two models, between the RM11 and the RM35 are relatively even.
There might be a slight difference depending on the gold versus the titanium, but overall,
they're pretty much in the same price range.
I would say only this one right here, the Red Demon that has a higher retail of $160k
and there's only 30 pieces available, would be one that just pretty much stands a little
bit beyond.
But overall, they're in the same price range.
You pretty gotta go with the one you like.
Some people just...the RM 035 Nadal is incredibly photogenic and I don't know what it is about
that watch, but when you put it on your wrist, it just kind of looks so nice, you know?
That movement.
That whole skeleton movement under there, just looks really nice.
It drives me crazy and it would be a really, really hard decision if I had to choose only
one because, ideally, I've had to have three...one titanium RM11, one rose gold 11, and the Nadal
obviously in carbon.
But it'd be a horrible decision to only have to choose one.
But that being said, if it was, I would probably go with...just go all out with the RM011 in
rose gold.
