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.

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.
