- For most people the function of a watch is, really, just about telling the time. Maybe the date. For Richard Mille, it’s a challenge to break every convention known to man and then some. The $150,000 RM 032 dive watch is indeed no exception, packing everything you can think of and more into perhaps the craziest watch in the segment. Here are five things this watch does that are just-well, you’ll see.

No.
"Whoa, that's a crazy watch! What time is it?"
"I have no idea, man...."
Still haven't seen an RM I liked.
RM67-01 or 67-02?
no the most legible isn't it
The title should read “why is Richard Mille so expensive”.
Yes, so expensive... Yet the hour register won't reset to 12... 🤭✌🏽️✌🏽️😮
You wouldn’t like any unless you’ve got money to buy one:)
RM is definitely giving Invicta a run for their money.
Right 👍 I was just thinking that!
And G-shock :-)
Who compares Invicta and rm🤦
😂😂😂😂 good one
Too funny and so right
"You know it's a serious dive watch when you have to take an advanced open-water dive course to get deep enough to submerge the whole thing"
One of the best quotes I've heard on this channel :) Brilliant!
Absolutely love this narration. Superb writing.
Yeah, deep diving a whole 18mm 🤣
Don't encourage him.
Richard Mille very clever but you are very stupid.
Great to see someone finally skeletonised the Seiko Monster
Thank you came to comment the same!
RM just tried to oneup the only classic watch Watchfinder refuses to cover, the Casio G-Shock, and failed.
For real, it’s really time for them to make a video about G-Shocks, I’ve been waiting for this longer than waiting for GTA 6 to come out
You speak the truth!!
Callum your 100% right, I'll match my new G-shock GWG2000-1A1 with this monstrosity RM 032 any day of the week! "G-Shock Number 1" timepiece ever created by the hand of man!
A G-shock has more design philosophy than this (imho) piece of garbage :)
Well thing is that the G-shock is quartz digital watch that you can buy in every store around the globe. Although it DOES perform nicely it's still a digital cheap quartz watch. So there is nothing mesmerizing about them. I own a lot of G-shocks, from DW6900, 6900MS, GA2100, DW5600, GA100-1A4ER, GA110, GBA900, etc... they still can't hold a water to a proper automatic/mechanical watches. I wish Watchfinder would rather cover Vostok divers compared to G-shocks. Vostok's are still in-house made and assembled by hand and the end product is proven to endure pressures of over 30 atmospheres. And they can easily be modded and really be unique compared to anything else on the market.
Respect to Richard Mille, other people were vastly under estimating the market of the footballer nouveau riche who wants a high end form of the GShocks and Seiko Monsters they've been wearing.
Most of these footballers gets the watch free plus endorsement
When he says footballers, he means drug dealers who want to be like footballers.
You meant: a hi ending of Invicta?
@@leonardotrelles8358 Atleast invictas don't sell for 100 times their cost price lol and invicta offers 100s of options and designs unlike RM.
My ten year old daughter said. “Not even Bob the Builder could fix that. It’s ugly.”
Well your daughter made me laugh lol!
Btw is the cartoon still going on, I remember watching it as a kid?
Bless that 10 year old
Finally!!!!!! The all NEW Invicta Grand Diver! Dude, been waiting donkeys years for this release. Watch Finder, you're the best. Cheers!
"This watch isn't all bark and no trousers."
Perhaps. But anyone who buys one most probably is.
Spot on!
👶🏻
I love how RM makes bludgeoning instruments that also tell the time, how considerate of them
The hour counter is miss aligned. Even Seiko would be embarrassed of that level of QC 🤣🤣🤣
.. The most hidious peace of diving every made..
Piece out.
Looks like a tonka designed garbage can full of sticks. On the closeups look at the scratched and gouged screws. It's not a time piece but a flex piece.
I'm glad it's a diving watch, because it belongs 500ft under the ocean in total darkness
A Sea dweller can go deep below 3900m and still looks sleeker than this RM
Headline should read: "Any Diver that actually Dives with the $150,000 Richard Mille RM 032 Is The Craziest Diver Ever"
Maybe because of nitrogen narcosis?
I have one RM038, I sale
My budget - $10
My watchlist - $150k 🤣
I'm not sure if this is the case in other countries, in Australia divers use a diving computer. If there is electronic interference, I think the old school divers do have a watch - it's mostly a G-Shock. Nothing too fancy. Readability is one of the most vital part of having an instrument, and this watch is barely readable in normal conditions that I doubt it has any practical functionality in the field.
As you would be aware, in years gone by the US Navy dive tables were used in conjunction with a dive watch, but they have certainly gone the way of the Dodo. So much more life saving accuracy is obtained using a dive computer that a watch is almost not used. Love the styling or hate it I feel that at least we can all appreciate the absolute engineering that has gone into this piece. At least it isn't a quartz with a brand sticker - so there's that. Cheers from Albury.
@@muzzaball Very well articulated, appreciate the response. Kind Regards.
The Richard Mille bubble is starting to burst and you guys post this video? Must be trying to unload their inventory
The bubble is illusionary. Its there but not real at all.
As a diver myself, you need to be able to read the time. This is just another overpriced watch for people with plenty of money in their bank accounts but seriously overdrawn in their good taste account. 😉
Oh absolutely. This is a ridiculous dive watch. And not really in a good way.
Read it while being slightly narced
This watch is useful as a covid tester. If you like it, then you definetly have covid and lost the sense of taste
@@rrphantom8194 🤣🤣🤣
@@rrphantom8194 there’s no accounting for taste, personally I quite like this watch .... however I do agree with the price being ridiculous.
"You wouldnt want to graze the bezel on a nearby coast line" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What happened to legibility being the most important aspect of a dive watch?
Timekeeping and legibility are overrated. It's all about the indacateur de marche 😂
Yes absolutely would you retake that how many thousands of pounds diving still put that on your wrist and you wouldn't need any weight to take you to the bottom no thanks
how you kept a straight face delivering those lines must have taken some practice.
Not gonna lie, for a second I thought this was a special edition Seiko Monster.
I see it more like Seiko tuna
Belongs at the bottom of the ocean
I really think you should add high quality audio from the piece. E.g. I was really looking forward to listening to the clicks from the bezel.
Wtf. This video is the best yet. The level of wit & sarcasm is off the chart. Haha.
Looks like something that some one glued together from a misfits watch spare parts centre and then try to sell it for 150k.
This one is trully for the lunatics amongst us.
Not an RM admirer at all... they're everything except a watch
.....twice now I've had albatross knock my dive bezel out of alignment. picking one of these jewels up at the local dive shop this afternoon!
Heard that there is a parachute somewhere in this ..
The Very Hungry Caterpillar reference killed me. 😂😂
Richard Mille - complexity bereft of beauty and devoid of elegance. If Richard Mille were to design a car, the driver couldn't find the steering wheel because he would engulf the view of the dashboard with springs...just because it looks "unique". Richard Mille's overriding philosophy is to tell Occam's Razor, at least from a design perspective, to go to hell.
lmao
I’m sure if I was a multimillionaire who munched on crayons & dribbled a lot, I’d buy one.
A 300usd Seiko monster homage and then some tuna on the sides and a bit of samurai too. This watch is a Seiko collage, not a homage
In all honesty its dial is no more complicated that of a watch with Lemania 5100 from the 1970s, but the skeletonization makes it look quite complicated. Anyways, once I laughed at RM along with others. Now I quite like their approach to complications and high performance mechanical watches.
This video has the most humor I’ve ever seen from Watchfinder!
Ah yes. RM doubled down on their strategy and made another super ugly watch. Well done.
The super rich don't have taste and they don't do technical diving job
As a diver, the color indicators are none sense as colors disappear starting 5 meters.
Did he mention a “Hungry Caterpillar”? Someone has bedtime reading duty.
Usually I come for the videos, but this time I came for the comments 😂
Last time I was this early, Speedmasters were selling for $5K new.
The most calming and sleep inducing channel on YT..wow!! Just wow...in a Casio owner/collector, myself, but, damn..some nice pieces here, no doubt..what is the background music,please?
The MB&F HM7 Aquapod Tourbillon, blows this thing out of the water..
“Sorry mate what time is it?”
(Glanced at his watch)
“I have no idea”
All your metaphors for how big it is are hilarious
If RM was in the safe building business, this would be their Götterdämmerung
0:16 screw have corrosion on top that was not polished/grounded out
0:21 the brass (gold?) seat that 5 spoke screw is badly marred.
You sure they are allowed to charge over $1000 for this?
This analysis of Richard Mille's fantastic dive watch is as brilliant and well articulated as the watch, itself! I was supremely
informed and entertained by the narrator's acumen, style, and wit! Thank You!
Friend- Hey...what time is it? RM customer- Ummm I don't know. It doesnt matter, its a RM, i have my assistant for that.
Respect for the builder and developer of this watch...such a complexity
No vertically oriented tourbillon? I'll wait.
Amazes me that these really pricey pieces look like very cheap Chinese watches 🤯
Begrudgingly admit that it is impressive tho...
Good video tho, thank you 👍👍
Hey man, don't insult cheap Chinese watches like that
You'd run out of oxygen before you'd managed to read it.
okay the annual calendar in an iso certified dive watch was cool
RM is not a favourite but this diver looks awesome.
No it doesn't
You gotta hand it to RM, they really know how to run the long con.
Lol The yellow hand. It was there the whole time)
There is so much dust on the dial lol. How the quality is so low vs the price is amazing.
I can't decide whether this watch wants to make me laugh or cry.
So much technological prowess and it still looks as like it came as a goodie on a cereal box.
And here...we have a Lego Watch...It's a wonder. The buttons colors are amazing...as they click and clack.....and do..amazing things only savants understand
Does anybody know whether there are videos where people take G-Shock or other similarly “tough” watches and actually trying to test it in some explosion, similar to how Mythbusters tested stuff with explosions?
An Italian youtuber did something like that with a Vostok a while ago. Channel's name should be CSPA.
There is a u tuber......i think ....beyond the press......who puts watches to the test in a pressure chamber
I still prefer this type of video presentation, to the latest one that has been adopted, where u see studio mikes representing each individual speaking
Nowadays the watch brands leisurely put "diver" name on their watch model without even taking serious about the practicality of the watch to function properly as a diver watch
Gotta love the tachymeter 🤪
Because it's probably like trucks... 75% of truck owners never tow or haul anything in their truck. Just like most dive watch owners never once use them for diving. So the actual need for them to be able to be used for diving is probably slim.
@@BabyJesus66 I use them. And they have to make sense anyway. Otherwise, the design is nonsensical.
RM was like: "iT kOst thaT Much CoZ it TakeS Me F4ckin HoooUrS"
My 6 year old boy said RMs look ‘totally really really awesome!’
This channel is great, especially for someone who wants to get started with luxury watches. I really enjoy your storytelling skills too.
Probably your finest few minutes of sublime humour!
Is that 6 o’clock 12hour counter misaligned? Beautiful design!
Well okay you got me - that rapid fire of multi-complication explanations cought me off guard! You can say about RM what you want but they're clearly able to produce some incredible pieces of mechanical art! And to all the Seiko owners that keep telling in the comments that this isn't a good watch for actual diving: You didn't get it. So please, move along...
I'm assuming these comments are envy fueled hate. This is incredible internal craftsmanship and a surprisingly thoughtful piece. Glad you covered it, you changed my opinion :)
then why arent other videos with expensive watches full of so called 'envy fueled hate'?
@@atif1538 shhh dont burst their bubbles. They didnt know watch enthusiasts have been laughing at them for years. Imagine having enough money for a Lange and bought this 😂😂😂😂
@@tuananh823 exactly, for this price u could buy the patek philipe 5270/1r which appeared on this channel.
Love ya work mate, best watch commentary across the web 🤘🔥🤘🔥❤
Final tought really explains why we should like RM
Rm is a fad and a very expensive one at that. The majority of buyers are not true watch enthusiasts for the most part. The demographic is usually very fickle. I dont see the brand being around in 20 years! If RM's cost as much as a Rolex, no one care about them. The target audience buys them only because they are stupid expensive. The misaligned marker is inexcusable!
Simply thank you. Can you do Ap royal oak offshore vampire?
Maybe its even got decent lume paint. That would be really crazy for a Swiss watch.
By far one of the most (if not THE most) insane watches I think I’ve ever seen!! Wow!! 😳😱
Got one or order! Should be here in March next year
Hot take, I actually really dig RMs. They're not for everyone, but as an engineer by profession, the construction and features are just mind-blowing to me.
I only like the thin usain boldt version. The other ones overpriced g shocks. I'm also studying in the mechanical engineering sector so I can appreciate the watch,but it isn't worth 300k.
@@dinonugget7114 you can't really say they're overpriced G-Shocks because G-Shocks aren't doing all of this mechanically. And bear in mind, it may seem extreme, but the other annual calendar flyback chronos on the market are also actually similarly priced.
I feel the same way. I’m an aerospace welder/fabricator by trade and I really appreciate the insane engineering and craftsmanship that goes into something like this or the astronomia. Wouldn’t wear either though
@@cr144mc6 I will say I think the tonneaus wear a lot better, super ergonomic. If I was ever in a position to buy one of these, I'd probably opt for a tonneau.
the engineering is not very elegant
I wanted one before I now want one so much it’s starting to hurt!
Great review again.

My Spring Drive is FAR Superior in Accuracy!
"About as wet as a camel's umbrella." Hong Kong billionaires have other people dive for them.
A bold, aggressive move from Richard Mille to displace Invicta ...
1:20 ~ Nah, it's pretty straight forward. This one's a bit busy.
Thats a mechanical Casio G shock
Finally a RM I like not that it matters.
I don't care what they say about RM, this one is impressive.
Nice desk.
I know your a high end watch channel, but I would love to hear your thoughts on cheaper watches and micro brands.
"I wonder if they could make a fake version of this 😀" who knows???🤣
After wearing this watch, the sea will dive onto you
Looks like the Orient M Force and Heimdalr Titanium Tuna had a baby....
This is like a van conversion from a F1 car.
Hello! In general do you think RM watches will still be popular in 50years or so? Do you think it would be on a similar level as JLC?
Thanks for the videos! My bell is always on
Given the price, the finish is surprisingly lacking. It's like someone took a grand complication from somewhere else, slapped a huge case on it, and roughed the finish up a bit.
That dial is just too busy.
A watch that looks big enough and solid enough for James Cameron to pilot to the bottom of the ocean...I'm dead😂😂
please, do some lume shot, wondering if the réserve de marche is lumed
Sure wish I could hype up my bucket’o’crap and get 180k for it. I barely get a buck from the gardener. RM, prince of hype!
Edit: Mr. Talking Hands you are the very best at what you do. Truly
how does the time look?
"Dear Santa, . . ."
RM really has a uniqe design language. I really like them.
