·Nice live shots from Monochrome. https://monochrome-watches.com/tag-...tion-2024-carrera-extreme-review-specs-price/
In this last pic the checkered flag design can clearly be seen, which I think is a nice callback to the first Senna Edition 6000. But I do wish they had used a Yellow rubber strap, as that would've really made it look more like Senna's helmet, given the green and blue timing rings on the dial. Regardless, the $38K USD price makes this watch a nonstarter for me.
I would've much preferred to see a S/EL S25.706C reissue or reimagined modern tribute, at a reasonable price that more of Senna's fans could afford. Ironically, the TAG website features them side by side.

·I actually get more Senna color vibes from this pair of F1s. My favorite duo. 😁🏁

··TAG Heuer Forums ModeratorWell that dollar sign on the subdial is there for a reason.

I just think the yellow hand running through the middle makes it look like a dollar sign.

·Can someone please explain the £10k premium over the standard titanium one and the £5000 premium over the rose gold one.

·Some pics from my try on.
I really feel the strap should've been yellow. I just don't associate blue with Senna's helmet, or with Senna in general. If they were mimicking his Nacional cap, blue could work, but then the dial colors would be wrong.

·Whilst I can see your point about the yellow strap, TAG Heuer probably think that it would reduce sales as is more out there than a more standard blue strap. What they’ve missed is that this is an LE specifically for Senna, so the same people will buy regardless. A yellow strap would be therefore have been fine, albeit needing a redesign of the other areas of the dial, more in line with the other models in this range.
I like it overall, but hate the continual habit of cutting into the chapter ring in order to squeeze the tourbillon in. Always spoils these designs. Same applies with chronographs where they do the same.

·A fair price to me over the standard model would be about £26,000... maybe £27,000.
