·Can any watch collector calling themselves a true senna fan really be considered a true senna fan without this piece
cases are primarily made from carbon brake material taken from the actual brake pad stock of Aryton Senna’s 1993 McLaren MP4/8

·Be honest. When you first saw it, did you think.... that looks like it costs $400,000.

·Another example of creating a backstory just for the sake of selling a proper fugly watch that nobody with any taste would buy.
Case back shows as driven by Ayrton Senna, whereas the article states the case is made up of carbon taken from the stock brake pads from his team. Rather suggests they were new brake pads and so may never have actually been driven by him at all. It might just be poor wording, obviously, but does cast doubt.
Either way, spending 3 years trying to make it water resistant to only 50m was pointless in my view.

·No no, it looks like a listing on aliexpress, no doubt. Like a Chinese factory trying to do a Hublot.
Hand finishing?

·I finished my mine too! 😀
It's a great kit, a real pleasure to make! 👍
I made some modifications to mine:
- Added the proper Marlboro, Goodyear & Showa sponsorship decals.
- Added the Marlboro red triangle to the front, a signature look for the Marlboro McLaren. The round curve really bugged me.
- Changed the slope of the upper nose section and windshield. I feel this angle matches the slope of the front nose better. The windshield also lays a little flatter, more like the real car.
To Do's:
- Need to find fatter rear tires, closer to scale. But I'm OK with the skinny rears for now.
- Will add the lower dark blue stripe on Senna's helmet. It only has the upper green stripe.
- Will add "Honda" logos to the RA168E V6 Turbo engine, which looks pretty cool in Lego form.
