Thanks, Michael. The Palisades fire is not close but not far enough from us. I can also see the Woodley fire from my window, that's where part of the LA2028 Olympics will be held.

Here's a pic from the smoke from the Palisades fire from the backside of my house in the direction of UCLA.

Glad to hear you're safe!

So if the F1 website is to be believed... they are no date.
They are the same as the Kith dials just in 38mm.

The teaser definitely showed no date at 3

So the 'old' F1 chrono case is now used for a three-hander? 38mm?

I'm in! Would rather buy this than a G-shock.

Not sure if it's the exact same case, but probably very similar in shape. @C-Balls said the ones he saw all had black cases. Which leads me to think it'll be stainless steel with dlc coating, just like the Blue & Green KITH Heuer F1s sold via TAG, rather than the colorful Arnite cases sold as KITH exclusives. Upsized to 38mm, with colored arnite bezels and colored rubber straps which mimic the OG's strap.

I really hope they made the bezel the right size. Exactly like the original.

I texted the guy at the boutique that showed me the pics and this is what he sent back.

鈥淗appy New Year!

As far as I know, they鈥檙e making an announcement at this year鈥檚 upcoming watches and wonders. However, they鈥檝e been known to push launches up. This is an ad from the original Formula 1 collection. The new ones are inspired by these!"

He didn't specify what that meant so....maybe its not just the three he showed me?

That seems to be common practice. My Boutique contacts will also send me pics of a vintage original when a reissue is coming, to keep leaks from occurring. So, I don't think that really tells us much. I suspect the preview you got in person last year is probably closer to what will be released.

LA fires have gotten worse and still seemingly uncontained. Prayers and safe wishes to everyone affected. 馃檹

I have serious doubts if LVMH watch week will still happen in a few weeks. It'll likely be postponed and perhaps moved to a different city.

Good to see that solar chrono movements also exist. Perhaps soon in the F1s?
Date on 4 btw

If the Kith heuers were $1500,
And the upcoming release from what we can gather
38 mm- larger than the kiths
Solar?- better movement
Launch after price hike

I wonder if it's over or under $2000
( My guess, probably listed the previous price of steel solargraph )

I reckon they will land at around $1500 USD.
That would be about the same as the KITH Heuer and current F1 3 hander on rubber.
I'll be quite happy with that price. But my gut tells me it might be a little more, given the solar movement and price hikes in some countries. But I really hope you're right! 馃憤馃

It depends on whether they are viewing it as a new 'entry level' model to introduce new buyers or will they be playing it as a heritage 'reissue' with the accompanying story tax.

That's about $1890 USD at the current exchange rate. But the TAG retail prices in the US are usually a little lower than the direct UK/US exchange rate.

By saying rubber strap version, that implies there will be bracelet versions too, just like the KITH. Interesting! I might go for something like the KITH Los Angeles. 馃
