_DC_ 218 Posted November 9, 2017 Yeah I know, I know, I must be mental, but including shipping and PP charge this thing came to $690! But Richard Mille is crazy addictive, it pulls you in and sends you nuts to the point you are waking up in the night thinking about it. I couldn't stop coming back to this thing, so just took the plunge and pulled the trigger... I know the carbon pattern on these KVF reps isn't great right, but it's still carbon and as such it's still cool, but the main event on this watch is the fact the dial is so good and so close to gen... this is a rep of a $175,000 watch!!! Just look at those proper skeletonised date wheels, that's RM porn right there!! And the case flanks look really sharp... I hope it feels as good when it arrives as I'm hoping, as I doubt I'll get my money back in M2M haha! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stubbs 0 Posted November 9, 2017 VERY nice. The build quality looks superb. It is hard to believe it's a replica. Which movement are we looking at ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted November 9, 2017 It's an A7750 so working chrono too! I haven't been this stoked to receive a watch in a very long time!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikosaldente 630 Posted November 9, 2017 WoW! I hope you post some photos of the watch when you get it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC Please excuse my noobness but isn't that a lot of money for a A7750 (it's a modded one too, am I right ?) The watch is gorgeous but isn't there a serious breaking risk ? I read so much stuff on the A7750 ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,485 Posted November 9, 2017 I don't go crazy for RM watches. BUT one thing I noticed: it's a 4 layer carbon. Like the gen Pam 1950 Carbotech! WHY they used a 3 layer one for the rep??? Dammit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberto 24 Posted November 9, 2017 That's very nice indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McGilli 1 Posted November 9, 2017 Jezuz Fuq - I thought you said it was a rep of a $17,500 watch - and I was going to snarkily ask you if you were going to try and pass it off as Gen - but $175,000 dude that's awesome. Yeah post pics on your wrist when u get it - Being in cycling for so long - carbon and titanium totally do it for me.... looks awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Undinist 20 Posted November 10, 2017 4 layer carbon = good, I gather? Would that be expensive to make? Don't you need some rather advanced equipment? Is the price of this rep good value, in terms of the time and cost of the manufacture? And who sold it to you? I'd be curious to read their write-up. Enjoy it - I hope you can use it to blag your way into the F1 paddock! That's probably the only place you'll ever see someone wearing a gen! Edit - ah, I see which TD it was...not my favourite. I hope they send you the right watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommylad 0 Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, it's not really my thing but it's an impressive piece of work. It just shows how sophisticated the rep game is getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3rm87 172 Posted November 10, 2017 Seen a few high end RM reps in the flesh and I would probably agree that materials and workmanship are probably worth the $$$. Wear it in good health mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they send you the right watch. Didn't buy from that TD, never have, I just used their pics as they are better than any of the other TDs that are listing it! I pretty much always buy from WatchFinder! This one is obviously proving popular as there's a 15 day wait on it, annoyingly! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 216 Posted November 10, 2017 While RM isn't my style, that is a super looking rep. Makes you wonder what Chinese makers could achieve if they built their own designs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey_Business 0 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) You seem like a reflected fella, and I bet you have picked up upon the love/hate towards RM. When I started reps, the only thing that looked good was a Rolex Submariner. Everything else was ugly. Audemars Piquet was a poor resemblance of Patrick Star, Hublot looked like a turd, A&L was nothing but an old mans watch to me . Now, I adore all these models, and hardly ever look at my submariner. I have yet to reach the RM stage though. Somehow, I think we're all on a slow, but steady decent into the mad world of Richard Mille. All of us. Wear it in health mate.
