I can't say I like it. To me this is as far from a diver watch as a pocket watch, but it did catch my attention for quite some time when I recently saw it.
there is a lot to look at in this watch. highly complicated calibre, busy dial, very personal design, rare materials, incredible finish, you name it.

There is a clever cutout on the dial that displays a running indicator.
Here is a video of this device in action.

. . . and sometimes a little bit of both smiling smiley . I've seen this a few times in person --I mean, it seems very clear that it is not intended as an exercise in pragmatic, purely functional dive watch design but then again wouldn't expect that from Richard Mille. It's definitely got an incredible amount of presence.

PS fixed the video liink --the running indicator is very cool smiling smiley

Impressive, but to dive with...

Trully an amazing watch! It kind of strikes me as a "Mad Max"-version of watches like the original Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. This in a good way of course because like you already pointed out; this watch is very complicated and exotic. Since they also represent a significant investment I wonder if anyone trully dives with them, but I have that feeling about more very complicated divers watches. Not that it is a problem since they all look great on dry land aswel! Thanks for sharing!
