That’s a really interesting point you make!

Because you are right, of course. For the “uninitiated” they might just see a steel watch with a red dial. So, not flashy in the sense of looking very expensive. It more a question if you are happy wearing a bright color. Many years ago I bought the Omega Speedmaster Schumacher edition in yellow. It is a cool watch. A great design and I was a bit of a Schumacher fan. I did wear it occasionally but I really am not a very extrovert person, and it was just not a watch that got a lot of wrist time. Today it lives in my wife’s watch box.
She is someone who enjoy wearing bright colors and it really suits her. I think it is a highly subjective issue if you are one or the other.

I tried its titanium counterpart at the FPJ boutique yesterday. Was blown away by the lightness and the black aluminum movement. Are you gonna take the dive and buy it?
Def a interesting FPJ .

Not one of my fav dial colors from the brand to be honest
I’m still undecided.

I have the aluminum version that I would probably have to trade towards this. This color combination is definitely bolder than my usual taste but there is something intriguing about this watch.
This one is spectacular

the red color is the original paint from the Ferrari F1 workshop. It’s a piece that needs to be understood in the context it was created. It was a watch proposed by Jean Todt and only meant to be shared between him, a few friends and FPJ. The red dial was...
Thanks Christian

There’s the conflict I am having. I appreciate the origins of this watch but my taste is usually a bit more subtle. However, while there’s no denying the red dial and yellow hand stand out, I don’t find it to be as loud in person as the pictures suggest. ...

Your Omega experience is my concern

I wonder if I am infatuated with the watch now but could ultimately find myself not giving it enough wrist time. I do not think that will be the case but you never know. If that was to occur I would hope the scarcity and the significance of the watch woul...
Your words sum up my own thoughts exactly.

The watch is super cool, original, has a great back stor,looks great and wears extremely well. In other words perfect. So it is more a subjective question. Give it a bit of time 😊
