Today I checked the Link bracelet BA0883 of my 2016 Formula 1 Senna, and links are made in two pieces. The two parts of each link are firmly fixed and do not rotate against each other, but there are two pieces per link

The newest Senna F1 watch uses bracelet BA0637, which I guess is slightly different than the 2015/16 model's BA0883. The 2020 CAZ101AF.BA0637 uses the same bracelet as the new one. So it's been around for at least 5 years.

Still wearing the Panda. The new glassbox might be all the rage, but I prefer the old one.

I've had my eye on this for some time. The gamble was significant as the seller did not provide much information and I had the impression that he did not fully know what he was offering for sale. Very vague photos and a rather 'funky' strap was on the watch. In the end I was very happy that I managed to score it.

I've taken that gamble (And it really is at the usual multiple thousands of dollars level) on vintage Heuer sales with poorly focused pics, at least a half dozen times. And maybe more. Fortunately for me they've all been better than I expected with bargain prices as a result. It's always a concern that maybe the seller is purposefully not providing proper pics to increase the bids/sales. You know, hiding major flaws or problems. It's amazing to me how often it's just a case of they have no idea what they're selling.
It's nice to have another early 844 in the room, congratulations Matt! 👍
