A basic model RM costs about 50k, so I think "well over 100k" would be a huge understatement.

My gut reaction was "What a f****** mess."

I'm sure it's a technical marvel but it looks like a $20 fake!

I actually like the little deviation from the normal tonneau cases that RM uses... It looks huge though...

There's too much going on there for me. I believe in the "less is more" approach to watchmaking.

The whole "FLIGHT INSTRUMENT" thing really ruins the piece for me. It is interesting to see a slide rule incorporated into a modern piece, though.

I feel like a Philistine but RM just does nothing for me. Probably a good thing; i'd need to sell body parts of afford one.

What are the complications? What is the thing on the right with the 'N'?

Big date, tourbillon, flyback chrono, countdown timer, second time zone, sliderule

Function selector - indicates whether the crown is in winding, setting or neutral mode.

I couldn't agree more....that pretty much sums up my initial reaction too. Waaaaay too busy and would be hard as hell to determine what it was at a glance.
