Maybe the tri-colour models above were testing the market for something a bit more colourful. Despite what some think here, I get the impression they've been very successful for TAG. They definitely catch the eye in the window display too. Personally, I really like the red and green models.

When the green, yellow and red F1's came out I first thought the employee meant those ones. But now that the rumors are getting stronger I know better.

Maybe it will just turn out to be three handers of these..... please God no.

Finally there will be a TH boutique in Amsterdam at the end of this year. Then I also can try something new!

Not immediately, but I did after I saw them in the boutique in person shortly after release, and after I tried on a Red Bull 43mm F1 that one of my friends had. I might want to pick up a green one at some point if the price is right.

I strongly remember C dawg looking at fake green F1's on ebay trying to find an unrealistic bargain for a genuine piece

Did you take a pic of your friend's Red Bull on your wrist Charlie. Having now met you and your wrist, I can't imagine you wearing anything above 41mm

My guess is that TAG is boarding the fraudulent green movement of making good money while pretending to save the world 👍

Recycled plastic F1 tributes made with the same type of garbage recycle plastic used by ML for example:

I forgot about these. It will be interesting to see if this is what we are gonna get or if they are going to make steel cases with coloured PVD

I wonder how many £800 plastic watches Maurice LaCroix have sold...

Good question! Probably plenty of kids who think that the world is ending in 10 years and if they buy multiple plastic ML's they help save the planet 🙄

Not rising to all this abuse. The 43mm F1 has a short lug to lug so it's big but wearable. And yes, I like all sorts of watches, including the sporty and colourful when the occasion is right.

Location is unknown to me. Probably the PC.
Next to Breitling and Hublot maybe. Loads of construction work going on in that area.
