I’m in the same boat! The F1 was the 1st watch I lusted for while still on my early teens but at the time didn’t had the means to buy one.
Today, even having a reasonable collection of Pateks, Lange, AP, VC, Rolex, etc., I still got very excited by this release. I just got mine today, the same model as yours.
Didn’t even notice the easy link, so thanks for the tip
