I also have gotten way more comments on my Monaco Gulf Grey than any of my other watches, which includes Omega, Breitling, and Rolex.

 

Are we on the same page here on the watch that getting less comment when we wear it is breitling ?

Where i am, almost no people will notice your breitling. I heard its different in europe where breitling is very well known.

 

love the subtle changes in the dial colors when viewed at different angles - beautiful piece

 

In Europe I don't think anyone pays much attention to a Breitling in my opinion, even though the brand is well known.

 

So I finally got to see the 50th Anniversary Gulf Racing Monaco in person, at local Macy's department store of all places. It's everything I thought the watch would be, a very nice piece indeed. A few details I thought I'd mention:
- the red hands and markers don't bother me. They look subtle in person, it's not something I notice unless I stare
- the Gulf logo is smaller compared to the Gulf logo on my Gulf Grey
- the blue stripe is darker, compared to the Gulf Grey, and is not as accurate in color compared to the duck egg blue used on the racing cars and the blue on the Gulf Grey.

I love the look of the watch. However, I found that the overall look was just too similar to my Gulf Grey. I don't think I'll be getting the 50th now, just too hard to justify as I don't have deep pockets.

Attached pic of my Grey just for fun!

 

I love this video featuring a GT40 and the new Monaco Gulf!

(Guess, it needs to be watched off of YouTube.)

 

Love the video. I think that car is a Superformance MK1. Would love to have one of those but they are stupid money!

 

Hot diggity dang! This might be the sexiest Tag ever produced and Hubert's photos make it ever better like the tenth time I admire his shots of this beauty

 

It's funny how at first we thought this was an "Internet & US only" exclusive, which it was for maybe 2-3 months. Then a "US only exclusive", but available at retail stores (not internet only), again for a few months. Now it's a global watch that anyone can buy and it does't have an exact limited production number.

It's arguably the best looking of all the Gulf editions, but also one that's least limited in production.

 

I'm referring to the early days in this thread, not your article. If you look at page 3, apparently even you thought this was a US only watch - according to Hubert. LOL

'David indicated on the other thread that:
"This is a US-only edition given the restrictions on the licensing of the Gulf logo and brand."'

 

Yeah, i thought it was US edition only. But now i am reading will be available worldwide, i am happy as 5 years old.

Hopefully someday i can see one in steel...
