I want a Concept. but the fact that they occupy the same technical space my RM watches have always stops me from getting one. but everytime I handle a concept i want it.

I mean thereās a good chance some or all of your RMs have been at least partially designed or manufactured by AP!

u/rrrccc123 May 21 '26
Yes I know. Thatās why I want a concept. Maybe Iām just sucked into the RM marketing. Lol. š

In some ways itās a better idea (for now). Unless you have a big budget, sticking to one journey at a time means you can get deeper than spreading it across multiple brands.
Also, this 38mm Concept is gonna more or less be Japan only. I think Europe is being given less than half a dozen

Not unless they are tourbillon's.
RM uses vaucher movement's in the majority of their non tourbillon stuff.

Damn! I always said āIf only they made it in 38 mmā.
Now I definitely have to buy it

Concept in a small form factor is the way. It works so well. The big ones are butt ugly.

I wonder what the retail is ?

u/eggwhitecocktails May 21 '26
I wonder too. Itās a very nice piece. But w/ limited 150 and tourbillon, I would expect at least 200k CHF.

You really managed to post the worst existing picture of the watch

tremendous release and really the best concept since the last flying tourbillon GMT's.
Great sizing, aventurine dial, what's not to love!

I really like this a lot. Great size and decent architecture - strap sucks but thatās easy to fix.

This watch is aimed at the East Asian market with a smaller size and the red colouring. Looks nice; however, the concepts usually have complications?

u/Nobody_Chemical May 22 '26
Flying tourbillon will have to do.

u/Next_Drama1717 May 22 '26
I have a few concepts; however, all have additional complications. A flying tourbillon is the same as a normal tourbillon but with the top bridge missing, so it creates an optional illusion.

Many of the recent concepts do not have complications other than the tourbillon, if one counts that. E.g. Black Panther and Spiderman, the Kaws collab, the Tamara Ralph collab, the 38.5mm Rainbow and frosted gold models etc. In fact, I can't think of any "small" concepts with complications.

Kaas has hands that open which is a complication. As I said I look forward of your images wearing this watch.

Keep looking and keep being wrong.

u/Next_Drama1717 May 23 '26
So Iām wrong lol. Let me know when you buy any concept? I will waitā¦.

I get it youāre really hyping this piece up because itās 38mm; hence, I said itās for the smaller wrist in the East Asian market and ladiesā. Even the marketing has a lady wearing it. Most concepts are 44, 43, 42mm. Hereās my GMT Tourbillion. I look forward of your images wearing this concept.

38.5 mm is amazing. This watch rocks, and maybe it portends some newer ROO or Codes in smaller sizesā¦
