How are you finding it ?
Am very tempted given the price point.

I'm enjoying it just as much now as when I bought it in February, and it sits very well between my BB36 and blue Pelagos. It's very well made, incredibly subtle with its entirely brushed finish and lack of War and Peace on the dial, has the in-house COSC 72h movement and the T-fit clasp. Its a real sleeper and keeps its light well under its bushel.

The only downsides are that the lume isn't great and the corners of the clasp opposite the small fold-over piece are unnecessarily sharp. Some, understandably, would rather it was 36mm and I see their point, though within my collection it works well at 39.

Lovely.

Yeah same! I still really like my Formula 1. I'm not sure I care if anyone doesn't like the brand as it's uncool, it seems like a problem for them.

Local brand to me (hence also the colour) so started really as a 'shop local' sort of thing. Much prefer simpler styles and not a fan of the Rolex brand (don't worry I'm not going to make 139 pointless posts arguing the subject...each to their own ).

Quite a nice watch at a sensible price, although prob somehwat toppy for a component timepiece. Only bit I don't like is the crown.

That’s nice mate, I had a titanium version about a year ago and moved it on.



Have some regret about that so on my last trip to SG, put myself on the list for the this:

Ignore the date, haven’t set it yet as still deciding if it’s staying on the wrist today.

No affiliation other than being local!

That's very nice!
I've got a Formula 1 myself, with ceramic strap inserts and bezel. Love it despite the negative comments about the brand.

FANTASTIC! would wear the st out of that!

Thank you. It took me a while to make friends with it - loved it in photos, but it never felt right until the strap (which was my wife's suggestion - she is awfully good with colours).

I also quite like that I've turned a quite fancy watch (though not by the general standards of the thread) into something that looks like it might have been £3 at the seaside.
