Richard Mille RM005
Discussion
I recall recently reading about someone on this forum wanting info on where to obtain Richard Mille watches - may have been somewhere on the PH wrist-check thread?
Anyway, I stumbled across this RM005 whilst browsing Bonhams auction catalogue. The auction takes place next week in their Bond Street saleroom. Wednesday 11th June. It's lot 161 and their estimate is £8000-£12000
Hope the info is useful, and happy bidding...

I thought RM went for a lot more than that! I'd put it in the lottery win category, but 8K makes it much more reachable.
Stunning watches.
That's the power of marketing for you.... It's a very popular tactic, to publish a low estimate to generate interest in the piece. If there was a chance of buying it at £8k, you and I would get mown down in the stampede.....Stunning watches.
Sexy watch, fantastic build quality and design. I like.

How true. And don't forget to add the 20% buyers premium to the final hammer price, and then there's usually VAT added to the premium as well.I guess an £8-£12k estimate could quite easily become £20k+ on the day. All it needs is a couple of interested parties.
I really wouldn't be surprised if it went within estimate.
That last one I saw for sale in the UK was in a shop on/around Bond Street (can't remember exactly which) but is was about £17K. sold fairly quickly so I presume it went for around that.
would be around the correct markup for a dealer sale??
I got mine from a chap selling in USD but shipping from Spain. Made a big difference to the purchase price.

Damn you guys saying it'll be 'caught in the stampede'.... if it were genuinely available for 8-12k then 
Lovely, lovely watch
Unfortunately it's now on a few PHers' radar by the looks of things - Desolate has one (and his is beautiful) - I want one but probably can't afford one, and Dom H the dealer is hunting round. No doubt if I showed massive interest then he'd bid it up to buy and resell to me at a profit!!!

Cyber, if I could buy the RM005 for £8k, I wouldn't be selling for years. It'd go straight into the private stash and used frequently! Lovely, lovely watch

)I had a look at some over the weekend. I love the movements and while I like the styling I know it's a watch that isn't really something that I could carry off - not my style. I think I'd always be very concious that I had it on and that it might attract too much attention.
Bizarely - I've never felt that with the Sea Dweller (I know its in a different league, a far lower one) even though it could be considered bling purely because its a Rolex - I also love the GO PML as it is incredibly understated.

I was in London this morning so I took a detour to Bonhams in Bond Street to preview the sale. I actually tried on the RM but it didn't suit me! It is incredibly lightweight, I guess the benefit of using titanium. It's a fascinating piece to just watch the time tick by. I liked it more than I thought I would.
Anyway, back in the office now and Bonhams web site results page states that it sold for £12,240 including premiums. I guess that's a relative bargain from what I've read on previous posts here. So, come on, own up, who bought it?
(sorry, closest smilie I could find to represent an auctioneer!)
The one in Royal Arcade Watches was still on display in their window.
