This is Watch Your Style.
My name is Eric.
Today I'm going to do a review on one of the most infamous brands at the moment.
A lot of people don't understand the high cost.
They don't understand the whole hype.
They just overall don't understand the brand, period!
That brand is Richard Mille.
So the RM that I'm going to be discussing today is the RM that's made for the tennis
player, Rafael Nadal.
This particular model is the RM35-01 RAFA.
It's referred to as the �Baby Nadal� and "baby" because it's a third of the price of
the real one that he wears when he plays tennis.
That one being a tourbillon and it weighs half the weight of this one.
This particular model comes in forged carbon and it's got several different straps to choose
from, but for the most part it comes with this Kevlar strap, which quite surprisingly
and jokingly brings Velcro, yes, Velcro on a hundred thousand dollar watch.
But it's all about comfort with this watch.
You put it on and it feels like you're pretty much wearing nothing.
Pretty amazing to spend that much money and it feels like you get nothing.
But that's the whole thing about it.
It's carbon.
It's got a really lightweight movement that has a special system where it cradles on and
sits there with four points and those four points have special shock absorbers to absorb
any shock or impact, so that way the whole movement just flexes together.
Very nice looking watch believe it or not.
When you put it on the wrist, it feels like a glove.
This thing fits like butter.
It's perfect.
It's not a very blingy watch.
This is the type of watch that you get and, at the end of the day, to the untrained eye,
it looks like you have a watch that's purchased at Target.
IT looks like a toy watch.
This is the type of watch that you go ahead and buy when you already have a ton of watches.
This is not for the faint of heart or the new collector, although what an amazing piece
to start off a collection, right?!?
Let's go over a bit of the features that this Richard Mille Nadal has.
Very lightweight.
It�s something like 50 grams this thing weighs.
Forged carbon case, every angle, forged carbon.
Incredibly it's manual wound.
It�s got a very, very nice looking movement.
It's probably one of the most photogenic watches I've ever taken pictures of.
I don't understand why, but it's just like every picture I take of it just looks good.
It's just a very good looking watch.
On the backside it's carbon as well.
It's got pretty much no dial.
There is no dial there.
It's just pretty much the watch case, the face with the glass, behind there is just
the movement, and beyond the movement you see the back of the case, which is carbon.
Has a pretty good look.
It's got a lot of deep dimensions to it because of the way that they laid it out, but it pretty
much has no dial.
No numbers, nothing in there.
It's a very simple watch.
It just pretty much has no complications, no other functions besides the fact that it's
an all-out sports watch.
As I mentioned earlier, it's got that whole technology for the whole cradle with the shock
absorbers.
It's very comfortable.
With this watch, it's just all about comfort and status.
That's pretty much all I can say as far as the features.
So let's talk a little bit about price.
When it comes to this watch and the prices, there's not a lot of discount with these pieces
and quite frankly, there's not a lot of them out there.
So you pretty much gotta get what you can if you're in the market for one.
The retail is about $130,000 and you can expect to pay for one easily, all day every day,
$110,000 for a new one � and that would be obviously with a discount.
If you want to just go pay full retail, that's sometimes the only option there is.
Pre-owned there's not a lot of savings there, but you could probably be around the area
of $95,000.
As far as the Watch Game goes, imagine...this is a Richard Mille.
This is heavy duty artillery man.
This is the type of piece that you just put on when you just want to disrespect everybody
in the room.
Half the people are going to be appalled, saying "What the heck is that."
"Too much money."
"I don't understand the hype."
"That's a bad investment."
So on and so forth.
As far as the Watch Game goes, this is a serious piece right here.
This is the piece that's going to demand and get the attention that you want.
Something so simple, it looks like a toy � but this is not for the beginner!
This is for the heavy, heavy, heavy collector.
Somebody that really just wants to come in and just slap people in the face.
The Nadal is probably one of my favorite from the brand.
That and the RM11 are my favorite two watches from the brand.
Yes, they have a whole bunch of other pieces, some with a lot more complications.
But this tends to beat some of them...the models that are in the $95k to $150k range...and
the Nadal is definitely a heavy, heavy player in the game.
