Concluding Comment
This video showcases a full 18K rose gold Richard Mille RM11-03 – a large, heavy chronograph watch. The genuine version is extremely expensive (hundreds of thousands of dollars). This modified build uses real 18K rose gold for the case, side shell, and buckle, achieving a correct weight of 215.2 grams. The watch features a functional chronograph (start/stop/reset with sub‑dials at 3, 9, and 12) and two separate calendar wheels – both important functions for the RM11-03.
Strengths:
- Real 18K rose gold – correct weight (215.2g) and color. The heft alone is a major authenticity marker.
- Functional chronograph – many clone movements only have decorative sub‑dials; this one actually works (start, stop, reset correctly demonstrated).
- Two separate calendar wheels – thick, full font, correctly executed.
- Clear, deep engravings – caseback markings (model, Swiss made, 18K, dog head, scales) and buckle engraving are well done.
- 3D hands and correct inner shadow – front face details are good.
- Buckle – 18K gold with deep engraving; titanium alloy interior matches genuine construction.
Final verdict: For collectors who want a full gold Richard Mille chronograph – a watch that in genuine form is both rare and astronomically priced – this modified RM11‑03 offers a compelling alternative. The use of real 18K gold ensures correct weight and feel, the functional chronograph and calendar wheels provide genuine usability, and the engraving quality meets high standards. The watch is thicker than non‑chronograph RM models, which is correct for the RM11‑03. While the movement is a clone, its functions work as intended. For the buyer with a substantial budget who understands that the case and dial are aftermarket (but made with real gold and good finishing), this is one of the best full‑gold RM11‑03 modifications available. As always, independent verification of gold purity (XRF) and movement functionality is recommended. Bozhong’s demonstration of the chronograph operation and the emphasis on weight and engravings provide a solid buyer’s checklist. For the right enthusiast, this watch delivers the “big gold” Richard Mille experience at a fraction of the genuine price.
Hello everyone, this is Bozwatch.
Every watch is a work of art, a testament to time, and I am a passionate believer in them. I also hope that all watch enthusiasts can avoid pitfalls on their journey and find their own “Bole” (discerning patron).
Later, some fans sent me private messages wanting to buy the best modified and upgraded gold watch of Richard Mille currently on the market. They asked me to take a video to authenticate it. Let’s see what a custom gold RM watch looks like – and whether it’s worth buying.
This RM model is the RM11-03. I paid out of my own pocket to find a merchant and get this big gold watch for a video.
This watch is a full rose gold Richard Mille – a big gold watch. According to the merchant, it is made of 18K real rose gold – customized with precious metal – so its weight should be consistent with the original.
Let’s first weigh it. You can see the entire watch weighs 215.2 grams. That’s really heavy, especially for a watch with a strap. This weight is exactly the same as the original – very heavy. That means it uses precious metal, customized and upgraded with 18K gold.
This watch is a multi‑function watch. For the RM11-03, there are many case options on the market – titanium cases, carbon fiber cases, full 18K gold cases, and diamond‑set cases. There are many choices for the 11-03. This watch is also very popular.
Unlike the basic RM055 style, the RM11-03 has specific functions. What kind of functions? Let me demonstrate.
Inside, there are three sub‑dials:
- 3 o’clock – small seconds hand
- 9 o’clock – minute counter
- 12 o’clock – hour counter
After I press the top pusher, the chronograph starts. See? Press it again to pause. Press the bottom pusher to reset. It has a full chronograph function.
Inside, you can also see two separate calendar wheels – a high‑quality aftermarket calendar wheel. The font is very thick and full. The hands are also aftermarket three‑dimensional hands – you can see the three‑dimensional feel is very good. The inner bezel (rehaut) is also reworked. From the front, the workmanship is actually quite good – great.
Now look at the side. For a chronograph watch like this, it’s slightly thicker than the RM055 or RM061. The side of the case is made of 18K gold – it’s very obvious from this angle.
Now look at the caseback. This watch has an 18K gold caseback. The quality of a gold watch relies heavily on its engravings. Look at the back – the engravings are quite clear and sharp. See? Here, the “18K” lettering, the dog head, the scale, and other English letters. Look at “RM11-03” – “Swiss made” – the English letters are engraved very well.
The movement inside is a molded, fully automatic movement with chronograph function – quite good.
Now look at the strap and buckle. The strap is made of rubber, and the buckle is made of 18K gold. Any part that is rose gold – the merchant says it’s 18K gold. This can be authenticated. Look at the font on the buckle – it’s deeply engraved – very good. Open it and look inside – the silver parts are made of titanium alloy. The buckle craftsmanship is also quite good.
This is the full rose gold RM11-03 – customized with 18K gold precious metal. A simple watch sharing.
