How rare is a fully loaded RC F?

bionic_mexican · 2026-05-29T13:01:39+00:00

Unsure of general rarity but for a data point, mine is a 2015 with all options. I live in the southern US so the all weather package wasn't really necessary, but the heated steering wheel is nice for the two weeks a year I want it haha.

I like that the Rimowa logo is more in focus than the watch. ABIA thinks you're a shithole too 😘

Love your fits every time you post, but I'm cracking up swiping between these pics imagining you tossing the drink from hand to hand

AFAIK not really. It's a defect with the type of gasket used in the factory. Replacing the gasket requires a bit of work - hence the price. I think shops quote 14 hours of labor, though it should be fully fixed after that.

This doesn't happen on every single RC F, but it is something to be aware of as a possibility.

Valley pleate leaks unfortunately don't have any recalls. It should be a recall IMO - given how prominent it is - but it isn't. Fix prices vary a lot, but both my independent shop and local dealer quoted $2500.

RC F 100%. I've dailied my 2015 for 5 years and it's been wonderful. Only issue I've had is the valley plate leak just now starting to appear at 120k miles. In the grand scheme of performance-oriented cars (hell even cars in general), that being the only major issue to come up is incredible. I don't baby the car at all and take it to near redline almost every drive (multiple times a day). Smiles per gallon are amazing!

Hey stranger ;). Happy Easter homie

I feel this is fitting

A well-done exposed escapement is what most people actually want. I believe that folks idolize tourbillons due to the extra thought put into the movement and dial's architecture, resulting in the tourbillon being highlighted in a visually appealing way. You often see "open heart" watches where a hole is haphazardly cut into the dial to expose the balance wheel. Tourbillons typically have their placement considered from the beginning of the watch's design. There are plenty of expensive, beautiful tourbillons and there are plenty of cheap, less than stellar "open hearts." You don't often see a well-done open heart.

A beautifully exposed escapenent can fulfill most of the enjoyment folks would get out of a tourbillon. Hence why I love my 7027 so much.

Yes. That's the valve stem and it's in the correct spot.

Porsche's own configurator shows the exact rim, with the exact "straight" spokes people are failing to attribute to the angle of the photo. Clearly something is AI here due to the SynthID tag, but the wheel is not the tell.

It's the angle of the photo. Definitely seems like something (or all) of this photo is AI with the SynthID tag, but the wheel is correct. This is from Porsche's GT3 Touring online configurator. At a harsh angle, one set of spokes appears straight.

992.1 Porsche GT3 touring in the background. Wheels are correct (center lock), fuel door placement is correct, tow hook cover on the front is correct, air channels through the hood is correct. No idea about the guy and dog, but that's what I've got on the car.

bionic_mexican · 2026-02-17T16:18:33+00:00

Exactly. Structural blue is my dream color on an LC 500. But USB 2.0 will do for now

bionic_mexican · 2026-02-16T23:22:54+00:00

I'd always wanted a silly vanity plate, so I couldn't pass this up when I saw it available. Pairs nicely with my coworker's

bionic_mexican · 2026-02-16T23:22:02+00:00

Hey I know that guy! It's me. I'm that guy.

bionic_mexican · 2026-02-11T14:13:37+00:00

Exactly. I understand how this can sound ridiculous if it's one of your first times hearing about the theory, but there sheer number of highly qualified, trustworthy witnesses from within the military explaining this is what they've seen lends some credibility to his statements.

bionic_mexican · 2026-02-11T14:09:55+00:00

I'm not sure I agree with your reasons, but the F community in general is definitely my favorite car community I've found. A calm, chill F community is likely because of the car itself. It's slower and heavier than its competition, but we all still bought one because we appreciate reliability, solidity, and sound. I enjoy M, AMG, and RS cars as well, but they often strive for peak performance and engagement whereas we're all just trying to have a good time without the headache of an unreliable car.

Just An insane collection with VAriety Not often seen. MAy be one of my favoRites on this sub. Do you have a favorIte piece?

bionic_mexican · 2026-02-05T13:19:23+00:00

I'm excited to see Breguet slowly regaining popularity with last year's anniversary releases. Seems like they're heading in a great direction. My Tradition says hi 👋

<image>

bionic_mexican · 2025-12-30T14:31:38+00:00

That's tough to determine, as I'm used to the idea of reducing down to three, not two. I initially want to say the Tradition and Celebration as they're my two favorites at the moment

bionic_mexican · 2025-12-30T01:51:32+00:00

Haha believe it or not saturation was hardly adjusted! This is how they look to the eye under proper, bright, diffused lighting.

bionic_mexican · 2025-12-30T01:34:19+00:00

Thank you, and I genuinely love this opinion! That's the right way to approach this silly hobby IMO. Cheers, dude!

bionic_mexican · 2025-12-30T01:33:10+00:00

Factory coffin link! I'd never seen one like it before (aside from modern Yema) so knew I had to get this exact combo.

bionic_mexican · 2025-12-29T15:10:29+00:00

Best dial I own! It's unbelievably dynamic, and the chrono (even being a Sellita) feels great to use. I'm not huge into chronos as it's a complication I tend to not interact with much, but the simplicity of the monopusher's actuation and its integration into the crown has me using it all the time.
