I agree with the mighty Ben, the new one is about 120 times better than the previous version. Busy dial aint no issue for me, my thoughts are always super busy and confused, perhaps this is why I like a good busy dial.
Then this must mean you also like the same busy design of the newest Red Bull F1 120 times better than your version. 😉

Your logic is clearly failing Michael. My Red Bull is the sexiest F1 model ever made so of course I love it the most 😝

Plus, the super ugly 'SPEED' printed on the bezel of the new RB ruins the whole experience for me...

That can only be logical to one who's thoughts are admittedly super busy and confused. LOL 🙄

I really like that new Red Bill, until I clocked the Speed and the Pit Box elements myself. Totally agree that it’s impossible to under those once spotted.

You have younger fans, I was told a 9month old bought an Aquaracer last week.



I wish I could tell you that is a joke.

The kid didn't actually buy it.... they didn't whip out their Mothercare card and slap it on the table.

I can't actually believe it would fit, even if you took all the links out....

Would love to see how it wears 🙄

Live video included in this IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq2A633LFr9/
Shows the color shift of the blue dial.

Love the deep blue sunburst, this reminds me of the mighty 211T aka gulf king
It doesn't look as much like the CAW211T Monaco Gulf "First Victory" in the video. More of a color shift than a true sunburst dial. I'm slightly less impressed with the blue dial under this type of lighting compared to @abrod520's pics.

Lined up alongside the current Red Bull model, you can clearly see the similarities in design. To me the dial just feels too busy though, and think I actually prefer the blue on the CAZ101N.

The Gulf Blue stripe on the new one is also a tad lighter than the last version. Perhaps slightly too light for "Gulf Blue". To my eyes, the blue stripe on CAZ101N is a closer match to the livery used on the JWA race cars (GT40, Porsche 917, Mirage etc.).

Weird how the stripe on the Monaco Gulf CAW211R was a little too dark and now the stripe on the new Gulf F1 is a bit too light. 😵‍💫

The black matches the tires on the car and the hands on the sub-dials. Makes the old one look 120 times faster! 😎
