Oh, no, I just meant the older ones. This is the best orange watch you can get. Although I didn't get on with the strap myself.
What is your next purchase? / Wishlist?

·Of the 200m vs 300m debate, I was really surprised that I prefer the 300
Glad to hear you like the orange, I am yet to see it in person but it looks promising in photos and video

·Sounds like we've come to same conclusions about the Aquaracer. On paper I should love the 40mm but that one really sucks and I really really like the 300.

I think the 40mm is great, it feels like a '90s TAG in the best way. But I don't think the 43 feels as big as most expect - it's wide and slim and so it fits very well. And as I've said before here (and dtf has found as well) the octagonal markers aren't as big a deal. They appear mostly circular at first glance, then reveal themselves to be octagonal when you look closer. Makes them more of a fun detail that way, rather than a garish design choice.

·The 40mm is a sweet watch but I also like the 90s 2000. I would prefer it with a bezel insert though. And adjustable clasp… The 43mm isn’t as bad as it sounds but still a tad big for me.

·That's true on the orange, I'll give you that. Not so much on the others and plainly obvious on the Night Diver (unfortunately)
Maybe not on the Night Diver - though I have more than enough to look at on that one so it didn't bother me. But I find they also disappear on the 844 and on the standard ones. I think the green Ti is the only one I found it sorta noticeable on

·I recently found myself in a city (and an airport) for the first time since early 2020, and got the chance to take a look at a few watches.
<<...snip...>>
It was great getting back out into the world and actually trying on some watches - it really reinforced how you can stare at a ton of photos and renders, but until you see the watch on the wrist, you don’t have your opinion.
…then I bought something completely different that I didn’t know existed.
Can't wait for the reveal, any hints? 😗

Its a GMT (at last), and it’s not a Tag Heuer…and I suspect it will be unpopular

·My new orange Formula 1 arrived today, and I'm lovin it. I always wondered why watchmakers insisted on silver hands with the orange dial. When black offers such better legibility.

The orange F1 seems to have many fans on this forum. 😀
