Anyone catch the new FF?? I am not a fan at all even with the liquidmetal/ceramic bezel and smaller case. It's tough to improve an already perfect watch.

Looks as if they tried to dress it up a bit. Want to see it but until then, great, another style I love that they don't make anymore.

It seems very 'plain' compared to the previous one.

Arguably even a bit generic.

The white version is on Nato. Seems a bit incongruous I must admit.

It looks anorexic. I dont find it ugly, but its certainly not as good looking as the current one.

A bit? You are one generous man...

I'm definitely not a fan.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a Sinn. It's a big step down from the classic it's replacing. BP should have made this model and left the old one as is. They already had too many versions of the older style. What's one more.

Looks very boring.

I wonder if this is replacing the FF or if its going to be an additional FF model.

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.
