That's a good question. I assumed from the comments here, it was confirmed to be a replacement. If it's in addition to, then why not. I'm sure it'll sell. It's not bad looking, just a complete departure from the precious model.


Worry not, Marc Hayek says its just a new addition to the series to celebrate the original piece. The FF we know and love is not going anywhere.

Thank God...

Thank goodness they're still keeping the "proper" domed bezel version.... because this one is hideously dull and boring looking.

I don't like that at all. Fantastic to hear the original isn't going anywhere. I just can't see this model as an adequate replacement.

Dull is indeed a good description. It could be so much more interesting if only it had the baton dial of the original. They could even have done a JLC style faux vintage brown lume to go with it. Oh well, guess its a bit late for design input now.
