Superb report, Kong!
I think the Monaco has come a long way and proven that it has a loyal following, too.
No doubt I like the the remakes and so on.
On the female version, I think I can imagine myself wearing the Lady Grande Date in brown dial and brown
python strap. The watch is nice but a tad simple. A chronograph would perfect it and it might add to
my collection. The usual combi is always adding diamonds to a female watch...sigh..
I may want to have a real look on it though...seems nice.
Thanks for the report!

Great comprehensive report Kong, thanks very much! These are
some cool and thought provoking watches, need to really study to get the full gravity of what is going on here. Best to all, Tim
I like.....
the Gulf version..... However I am a bit hesitant as to the size, it could have been a bit bigger I would like to see it in metal........ Cheers

Tag Heuer encroaching on Jaeger-LeCoultre territory!
I first saw the advertisement for the Gulf Tag Heuer watch about a month ago and it struck me as odd. Why has Tag Heuer partnered with Gulf Oil, I thought that Jaeger LeCoultre had partnered with Aston Martin who had partnered with Gulf Oil. I think becau...

Chrono with the current combination would likely to be a winner!
This configuration is quite a looker. Kong
Beautiful....
..but overkill to some extent. McQueen would've wanted it that way, car-wise, suspension and all. The 'petite secondes' and chrono-minutes are not easy to figure out for us engineers who have no idea what math is (except when getting paid and doing our ta...
Funny!
Engineer who does not know how to count Not surprise it may change, as this is a proto. The El Primero is chosen because of its higher frequency, which supposedly to be less susceptible to shock. Kong
Interesting Reading, Kong
Will have to try this one in the flesh, because each time I see one, I'm tempted, and once on the wrist, the temptaton has gone... Curious, but if the 1mmm difference with the re edition is important, it may be a watch to consider. The shock absorber syst...
Very Interesting. great movement, great design, great history
i sort of agree with patrick about the Gulf Oil connection, but they've done a gulf oil tag for a couple of years already havent they? love the 24. i've always loved the original Monaco. thanks Kong Graham
interesting....
the shock impact reminds me of the one utilized by GO on the Sport Evo Impact I would like to see this watch in metal Thanks for posting Cheers
