Great, nice choices! 👏👏👏👏
For some reason, I thought you'd get the all black Miami and yellow/black Mexico too.

Thanks! I considered the all black, but ended up passing. The yellow/black Mexico has not been on my list. The only other that I was close to getting was the Barcelona.

Yeah, that’s fair enough. I’m set on getting the yellow when the time comes, but fancy this too and would have one steel, one dlc and one of the non-steel ones.

I’ll see what I think on Tues. the only issue is that it’s going to be impossible to see before buying. I tried the red on today and really liked it, but there was a slight colour mismatch between case and rubber strap, which is not the end of the world. I guess if you order you can always send back if not satisfied.

I had a chance to see the blue Singapore and upcoming yellow/black Mexico. Both look very nice in person!

I can also confirm that the Singapore's blue case and strap are a pretty good match color wise. Compared to the red strap & case of the McLaren, which are slightly different shades of red.

What was your preference between the 2? I didn’t order the Singapore yet and had made my mind up to wait for the Mexico.

Partly it’s on grounds of value as I think the steel versions represent the better value, but the Singapore is still available so may still pick one up.

Pardon for the bad lighting… Singapore GP.. looks more purple than blue… but as mentioned case and strap colour matched nicely

Tough choice, I really like both of them. I agree that the black dlc does make the Mexico feel slightly more premium. But ultimately, it's really about color preferences. If I didn't own the red, I'd probably go for the blue Singapore over the Mexico.

Under better lighting, it’s actually closer to purple and complements the white dial pretty nicely

Had one of these on yesterday in the boutique in Bath. Very nice. Love the blue colour and a perfect match between case/ strap.

Unfortunately they did not have a yellow one in early for a peek.

It arrived! 😊
I also loved this OG combo:

So I ordered the “McLaren” red strap when I bought my Miami GP Solargraph Formula 1. The red strap came labeled as BT0039 (complete with black buckle and two spring bars), but I ordered it using FT8086 as a part number.

Looks killer bromigo

That’s rad! I love it. Sweet tweak.

Congrats @Albert-AMG, looks great!

You're tempting me further to do the reverse with my red one. 🤔

Thanks Michael! 😊

Exactly, the Miami GP and the McLaren can interchange their straps perfectly. I even considered buying both models for this purpose (meaning four different combos), but in the end I settled for just the Miami GP and the extra red strap 👍🏼

Great mod; looks better like this.

Managed to check out both the Mexico and Singapore F1 ed. in the boutique yesterday.
I think the blue is a bit more striking but at the same time I'm also drawn to the yellow. The black dial is not deep black like the photos. To my eyes it's more like chalk black which I think could be the solar properties.
