@G-Shack 1970 that shows you how irrational humans can be. Agree it does not cost more than 5k , but people are willing to pay 1 million dollar ? Blows my mind.
@G-Shack 1970 okay now you're just being an idiot. it definitely does NOT. You know it takes them like 5 years to R&D each of these, just to make like 100 of them, right? The finishing is Patek level, the skeletonization is comparable to AP's, and it's all hand assembled. All super expensive materials inside and out. And then an ultra shock resistant tourbillon, a complication that already usually costs tens of thousands. That's not 5k.
Under that macro lense I can see imperfections in the finish and machine work on certain mechanisms of the movement which would drive me insane if I were to have paid $1.3 million for this watch.
5:47 Watchfinder didn't even bother cleaning it before shooting the video, because they know that anyone who would consider buying this crap doesn't actually care about that kind of stuff.
It is intentional that the movement finish has what you probably refer to as "tooling marks". They're in there to theoretically trap stray dust particles.
Completely agree with Neil on this one. This has got to be the ugliest Luxury watch on the market full of complications most don’t need. Especially for over a million dollars. Just my opinion. The tech is awesome. But it looks like a hundred dollar Casio on the wrist from 10ft away.
@@michaelmyers4176 while I agree, most luxury watch owners don't need anything besides the date and time. Most won't even take their Submariner below 2m of water, so I think your argument applies to ALL watches. I doubt someone actually uses the GMT complication (or even need it). The complications IS what makes the watch luxury.
The youtube suggestion for the next video to watch was the $100 G-Shock, which does everything better than the RM apart from showing how much money you have. The macro on the hand lume was shocking too.
I'm not a golfer but my father is and has belonged to country clubs since I was a kid - all of those guys always wear their Rolex while golfing and never seem to have problems. Even if they did, they could buy a Rolex a year for the rest of their lives and spend less than they would on this watch. The idea that this watch has any practical value is absurd
a Rolex also has no Practical Value when a simple CASIO watch could do the job even better and more accurate... This RM is not made for regular Golfers.
You could by one Casio f-91w a month for 57 years and you would have paid roughly the same as one Submariner (market price). A F91-W is a more practical watch and probably better for golfing.
I think it has to be because of the heavily curved crystal. Still, yeah, doesn't look great. At least you can't really tell the second hand on a Speedmaster is bent!
As a retired mechanical engineer I would be interested to examine that movement at close quarters, especially as the finishing leaves a lot to be desired.However, the overall design and the shape of the tonneau case and that appalling strap, leaves me cold. It also makes the the main reason for having a watch, that is, reading the time, rather difficult with all of the mechanism behind the hands.

@@Brazconj The most common RM shape is tonneau, but they also have rectangular and a diverse line of circle watches. Plus tonneau shape has variety of options, like thin, small, chunky even weird (RM 70-01, RM 61-01). RM 27-04 definitely looks unique. And yes, sometimes you can actually tell them apart just by color.

In my opinion, this is a unique and cool looking watch, and one of the better looking RM's. But 1 mil on a watch like this is just insane, RM's prices are insane, and some of their watches use other manufactures movements. Imagine spending 250k for a dressed up version of another movement... I guess that's what you get with a "basic" RM (I believe RM's like this one feature in house movements because they are more higher end).
I’ll never completely understand RM- in general, they’re very underwhelming for their price point- but admit they are very important watches that shaped the industry. This particular movement looks impressive too, I just find the case utterly disgusting.
*marketing That’s what really separates RM from all other watch makes. Traditionally you basically let the watch sell itself, but RM was like nawwww we have a different idea 💡
This watch is a big gamble to pay such an outrageous sum of money for a brand that is relatively new and endorsed predominantly by overhyped adverts along with high earning celebrities.
Your too good! Your descriptions of the watches your reviewing keeps me captivated even I’m not particularly interested in the watch your reviewing at that moment because I learn something every time.

Yes this a marvel of engineering with a distinctive design however it's futuristic does make it look like a gshock...
For the same amount of money I could buy Patek, A.Lange & Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Zenith, a house and a Ferrari. Maybe there will be some change left for a coffee.
Richard Mille ostentatiously designs watches to be complex for the sake of appearing complex. The end result is a product devoid of elegance, refinement, and aesthetic appeal. Its like some monster consumed a copious amount of gears and springs and vomited it out, and by some miracle, it all congealed together to function, at the expense of legibility and beauty.

I spent this whole vid trying to figure out if the minute hand is actually bent or if it’s just some optical illusion because of the curved crystal… the hand totally looks like it’s bent through the whole production.
The voiceover reminds me of Doo-Rag from Noel Fielding's luxury comedy. It's cool being one of the three or four people who ever actually watched that show.
I still wear my father's 1951 Universal which he wore around the golf course for a good 30 years it has never been serviced as far I know and still keeps perfect time
Just for clarification ... cost does NOT always equal worth. I'm sure there are buyers with more money than sense that would relish the idea of having one of these pieces of jewelry, but I find it extremely hard to believe they are worth the asking price. 😲
I’ve been around golf and golfers my entire life and I’ve never heard one of them say: “Damn, the force of my swing just broke my watch”. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS
Richard Mille feels like the Apple of watches, clean, super expensive, futuristic but certainly not impressive... for 60% of the MSRP of the RM038 you can buy a limited edition A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon which looks hundreds of thousands of times better, has more complications and has a much more beautiful movement.
R&D obviously plays a role in a watch of this price. The engineering aspect aside, I am curious how much time it takes to produce one and what the cost of materials are.
Even with a price tag of $1,000, I dislike at all. Not my cup of tea. I would never wear a so ugly watch. No matter of tecnical solution or whatever it, it is so far away from my idea of watch. Puff Daddy & Co. toy
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
The engineering of this watch is insane like the price, but by the end of the day it still looks like an expensive Gshock.
Isn't that a compliment though? People love how G-Shocks look.
Now imagine a 1mil G-Shock...
@G-Shack 1970 that shows you how irrational humans can be. Agree it does not cost more than 5k , but people are willing to pay 1 million dollar ? Blows my mind.

Please I prefer this style of your video. It was what made me subscribe when I found you. Sometimes you don’t need to change a thing when you found your niche. So much Love from Nigeria. 🥳🥳👍🏾👍🏾
Leave Richard mille alone, we want mb & f
Exceptional watch, exceptional script, exceptional video crafting, what a way to end / start a year!!
Well done. Modesty, awe and humor in perfect balance.
My lawnmowers deck is made of magnesium
I spent this whole vid trying to figure out if the minute hand is actually bent or if it’s just some optical illusion because of the curved crystal… the hand totally looks like it’s bent through the whole production.
The voiceover reminds me of Doo-Rag from Noel Fielding's luxury comedy. It's cool being one of the three or four people who ever actually watched that show.
I still wear my father's 1951 Universal which he wore around the golf course for a good 30 years it has never been serviced as far I know and still keeps perfect time
best watch commentary on YT. i'm subscribed to them all.
Just for clarification ... cost does NOT always equal worth. I'm sure there are buyers with more money than sense that would relish the idea of having one of these pieces of jewelry, but I find it extremely hard to believe they are worth the asking price. 😲
I’ve been around golf and golfers my entire life and I’ve never heard one of them say: “Damn, the force of my swing just broke my watch”. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS
The ugliest object of the entire Milky Way…
Premium place !
I played golf on Friday in an omega speed master moonwatch…..perhaps im doing something wrong
What a profit the manufacturer makes on that sale!!!!
I like the dry and fairly respectful humor.
I got mine for 38 dollars from Ali express. Just as ugly for a fraction of the price.
And it has badly scratch on the glass
in 2:47 it looks like there is some scratches on the glass in top left corner esp! Sick
You sure this is a real watch? I've seen less dust and scratches in a used G shock.
Richard Mille feels like the Apple of watches, clean, super expensive, futuristic but certainly not impressive... for 60% of the MSRP of the RM038 you can buy a limited edition A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon which looks hundreds of thousands of times better, has more complications and has a much more beautiful movement.
That's my favorite watch of all time, in white gold with dial in grey/rhodié, with the Triple Split a close second.
R&D obviously plays a role in a watch of this price. The engineering aspect aside, I am curious how much time it takes to produce one and what the cost of materials are.
On a rubber strap…lmao.
Too much imperfection for this price
Do you think Richard Mille looses money on each sale of the watch like Bugatti does on each car sale!
My Timex has a resin strap too, has been through a lot, and still keeps on ticking.
Breath taking in both ingenuity, beauty and price
What is the need for wearing a watch during a tennis match? Am I missing something ?
How do you tell the time on these things
Is the minute hand bent ever so slightly on purpose?
think i got one of those in a kids meal from mcdonald’s years ago
Idk how i really feel about Richard Mille but i think their look is growing on me for some reason.
wow... Personality coming through!
This is like when an actor matures and starts having a trademark style.
I find it a amazing engineering exercise. At the end of the day the funny thing is the water resistance is the same as a Timex Q ? To each their own.
What about Bremont Martin Baker watch for golfing?
But why does it cost 1 mill?
Bougienessness!
Because idiots are a dime a dozen...they're inversely proportional to gaudy, perverse watches.
Personally I've always loved the style of RMs, but I cannot fathom the idea that they're worth anything near what they some how go for.
50m WR for a 1m watch lmao
Am i seeing this right, is there rust under the pin that holds the clock hands?
Even with a price tag of $1,000, I dislike at all. Not my cup of tea. I would never wear a so ugly watch. No matter of tecnical solution or whatever it, it is so far away from my idea of watch. Puff Daddy & Co. toy
lol
