Okay, so today I want to talk about my little adventure trying to imitate the Richard Mille RM 07-01, straight from the official flagship store. It’s a fancy watch, you know, the kind you see and think, “Wow, that’s something else!”
First off, I started by browsing through the official Richard Mille website. I mean, where else would you begin, right? I scrolled through tons of pictures, zooming in to see all those tiny details that make the RM 07-01 so unique. Noting down everything, the colors, the materials, the way the light hits the watch face – it was a lot to take in.
After that, I hit up some forums and watch enthusiast groups online. I figured there had to be others who were just as obsessed with this watch as I was. And boy, was I right! I found a bunch of threads where people were discussing every single aspect of the RM 07-01. There was even a guy who had done something similar before, but, well he is not good enough. Joined in on the conversations, asked a few questions, and got some really useful tips.
Next, I decided to actually try and get my hands on a replica, not a real one, of course – I’m not made of money! But just something that looked and felt similar. So, I spent a good few days searching through online marketplaces and replica watch sites. It was a bit of a jungle out there, let me tell you. There were so many options, and not all of them were good, to put it mildly. But I finally found one that seemed decent enough, and I placed an order.
While I was waiting for the replica to arrive, I started thinking about how I could maybe tweak it to make it even closer to the real deal. I remembered reading on one of the forums about a guy who customized his replica by swapping out the strap for a more authentic-looking one. Sounded like a fun project, so I started looking into it.
Found a few online stores that specialized in watch straps and ordered a couple that I thought might work. When the replica finally arrived, I got to work. Took the original strap off, which was actually easier than I expected, and tried on the new ones I had ordered. After a bit of trial and error, I settled on a strap that looked pretty darn close to the original.

I gotta say, this whole process gave me a whole new appreciation for the craftsmanship of the real Richard Mille RM 07-01. It’s truly a work of art! I wear it everyday now, I feel so good!
It is a amazing experience
