Nice choice! We look forward to hundreds of sexy photos coming up then 😎
Congratulations! I'm glad you found one at the right price for you! I'm sure you'll love it! Enjoy!
Limited - normally means limited in production run and usually, but not always, numbered.
Special - The co-branded watches with ambassadors or football teams, for instance, are special editions and are not normally limited in number.
That's what used to think too. However the Monaco 50s are called Special Editions, but they are obviously very limited in number. So now I'm a bit confused as to what TAG Heuer really means when they call a watch a special edition.
Actually that doesn't work because my McLaren 1974 Edition is a numbered, limited edition but is also associated with an anniversary. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Right, co-branding could go either way. The Calibre 12 Monaco Gulfs were all LEs. But the Cal 11 Monaco Gulf is an SE, as is the F1 Gulf.
I think TAG uses SE in a broader way these days. Yes they are "special", but they are not usually numbered. But whether TAG limits the number by only selling it for a limited time we don't know yet.
Here's a pic of the rubber/silicone strap I bought for the Gulf. Not a bad match. Very comfortable. Got it from strapsco.com.
It comes with quick release spring bars but they don't fit the F1. Just a little too big being a true 22mm. This watch measures around 21.5mm so I had to use the spring bars that came with the watch.
My Gulf arrived! What a beautiful watch and box. Chronext were so helpful, they even assisted me with the customs process. I am so happy with it. I have been after this piece for a while now.
Fully understand that, remember that the strap was what put me off when trying the watch. Get the rubber recommended by @bdev 😀 looks amazing and most likely A LOT more comfortable
