“I Didn’t Buy It for Flash. I Bought It for Me.” – A Collector’s Story from Downtown Dubai
When Saif A., a 34-year-old finance executive living in Downtown Dubai, first considered purchasing a Richard Mille, he wasn’t thinking about the headlines or hype.
He wasn’t trying to impress dinner guests or post a wrist shot on social media.
“I wanted something that aligned with how I see myself now — not who I was five years ago,” Saif says.
“I’ve worked for every step I’ve taken. I wanted a watch that reflects that evolution — something rare, technical, and real.”
The Challenge: Finding a Watch That Felt Personal, Not Predictable
Saif already owned a couple of impressive watches — a Rolex GMT-Master II and a Patek Nautilus 5711. But he started noticing something:
Everyone in his circle had the same watches.
“At one business event in DIFC, I looked around and realized five of us were wearing the same model. It just didn’t feel like me anymore.”
He began researching Richard Mille, intrigued by the engineering and uniqueness. But most listings he found were either vague, overpriced, or felt sketchy.
He didn’t want to risk tens (or hundreds) of thousands on a maybe.
The Turning Point: Connecting with Platinum Times Co.
Through a referral, Saif connected with Platinum Times Co.. He wasn’t just browsing — he had questions.
- Could they source a certified RM 055 Bubba Watson in excellent condition?
- Would it come with full documentation and a transparent history?
- How long would delivery take to Dubai Marina?
- What would the real resale value look like in 3–5 years?
Instead of vague answers, he got real-time support, clear sourcing options, and photos of available models — including a pristine RM 055 with full provenance and recent servicing.
The Outcome: Confidence, Clarity, and the Right Watch
Just ten days later, Saif received his RM 055, hand-delivered, fully insured, and exactly as promised.
“Opening that box didn’t feel like a luxury flex. It felt like the end of a personal journey.”
He now wears the watch on weekends, for key meetings, and — occasionally — just at home, appreciating its detail in the quiet.
He’s since referred two friends. One bought an RM 11-03. The other is waiting on a women’s RM 07-01.
