It was also the first expensive watch I bought at the ripe old age of 17. I have the F1 chronograph second generation, it had a better movement than the first. Perhaps the brands reputation has been tarnished a bit because its watches are percieved to be of poor build quality, I am not sure that this is a fact, but as Nike say, image is everything.
The plus side of them being less popular is that they can be picked up at reasonable prices, perhaps in years to come they will become more desirable, who knows. As long as the buyer is happy with it then thats all that really matters at the end of the day.
