I contacted TH months ago regarding the color blue. It was said the blue strap (FT8105) will be
slightly different than the WBY1112. Since the dial is also a different blue than the bezel, I'm going to
give it a try. I tried a black one and indeed it felt very comfortable.
Plus the strap is separated from the other blues by the steel case, so I think it'll be fine. 馃憣
Kind of like a modern day 370.513.
On a separate note, my AD who usually quite accurate on these matters reckons there is a 10th coming out around Christmas time. I wonder if it will be a senna type one, or maybe the red bezel from the clock will get a run out.
Hmmm, a Senna 44mm F1 Chrono is rumored for around the time of the Brazilian GP, but no hint of a Senna F1 Solargraph yet. What could it be? 馃
Yes, and I think that鈥檚 the issue with the McLaren/ Singapore - they are the only 2 plastic ones with the strap the same colour as the case so any difference will be more obvious. In any case, unless it鈥檚 a compete mis match, I think I鈥檒l be fine with it.

I noticed that the hour marker indices on the red McLaren also seem different from the similar WBY1111. The McLaren has sort of a fauxtina color to the markers. Perhaps to mimic the vintage look of the OG.
I've also noticed more differences in the dials. The WBY1111 and Silverstone have full color logos, while the McLaren and Monza both have monochrome logos like their original counterparts. The WBY1111 has a red seconds hand and white indices within the red ring, while the McLaren has a black seconds hand and black indices within the red ring, exactly like its OG counterpart.
Never mind; preorder placed.
You don鈥檛 miss a beat, well done!
How many of these do you already have or intend to get?
I have the 1st, the two Monzas (all red, and tricolore), the blue Singapore soon, and this next one.
