The rose gold and black I love. The rose gold and red is hurting my eyes!

The black case really makes the huge chonk case not feel so big. And the Ti lightness is great on the wrist.

It鈥檚 an interesting juxtaposition between the sportiness of the case and red accents, and the elegant dressiness of the rose gold markers.

Ultimately it鈥檚 not going to be for me but I really liked the job they did on this one.

I do like it. But from what I've seen of the photos so far, that dial is not quite up to Grand Seiko standards. Pricing is on a par though!

Must say I liked his titanium more

I had to look at this five times before I finally now understood what that weird red thing at 6 is 馃檮 I guess I like it but this must be another sign that TAG aint got no actual Max model planned that people can buy. I suppose from a brand perspective it makes sense, imagine the value of these unique Verstappen pieces sold in some auction in 40 years.

I thought it had been decided that TH weren't doing 're-issues' and that future models would be 'inspired' by the past, so isn't a bit redumbnant to complain that it isn't a 1:1 re-issue of the Dark Lord?

Yeah that whole Max World Champion thing has surely passed now.... maybe they didn't want to get embroiled in that whole 'stolen' championship controversy?

I guess so. The whole joke of finale kind of ruined F1 for me, aint enjoying it as much no more. Definitely wouldn't pay for a watch paying tribute to a fake world championship. Fingers crossed he wins properly this season so we can get a nice limited edition next year

The Monaco looks sharp. I like shots like these where it looks more subdued. It can look a bit flashy under bright lights.

I like it less in pictures like this one. The mix of asphalt next to the glossy inner circle, plus gold & red, is a somewhat blingy under brighter lighting.

The right one, if only. But who wants to wear that on a yacht in Monaco anyway

Wouldn't 'legend' be better than 'myth', 'myth' implies the Dark Lord never actually existed...

Isn鈥檛 it true that are is no real proof? Jack Heuer confirmed the watch but there鈥檚 no catalogue or anything.
