Not an RM
This is just a Megir - Few hundred dollars to scratch that RM design itch but frankly I have a question - I have worn RM too and every time I have seen or worn it, my inner voice says "who the hell would want to spend a qurter million dollar on this shit?" - Lol - I mean cmon, a plastic watch with rubber strap - no matter how someone tries to convince me otherwise - even if i had that kind of money to splurge I wouldnt do it on an RM l. For that Megir is good enough.
Thoughts?

Isnt it poetic and beautiful that these little pieces of metal we wear on our wrists to tell us time are one of the few timeless things left in this world of fast fashion & changing trends - I am Sam...

Not my cup of tea but I do like the color, and frankly I can't tell it apart from a RM 😅. I say if it makes you happy spend the money, but if this gives you the same feelin, why spend a quarter mil 🤷🏽♂️
I tried on a $180,000 RM and laughed out loud. The strap was Velcro and the watch weighed nothing. I had the exact same thought as you!
RM nothing more than a status symbol, they feel like something out of a kinder egg
I funnily never got the RM itch. This one you have is much better still and fully are with you know this 💙
The whole idea of a "sports watch" that costs more than whatever a Casioak costs is bizarre to me, and I think that, say, a Morgan automobile is desirable and worth the money and hassle.
Surely the rubber is some magical concoction with overbuilt construction and not just some melted pellets injected into a mold by the dozens or hundreds? I mean you'd have to take their word on it for the first five years or so but still.
So the difference is that a real RM has a fancy proprietary movement that will cost more to service?
