I'd love a Heur 02 but based on the Calibre 11 case design.

I for one love the crown at 9, think it balance's the dial nicely. The lack on in-house movement on the calibre 11 is one thing that's stopping me spending a large chunk of money on the Monaco.

I don't know why the Tag Heuer boutique in my country sells Monaco Calibre 11 a lot "cheaper" than the H02 Monaco. While on Tag Heuer website it is almost the same price.

I seriously like the H02 Monaco. Yes H02 is a thick movement. But it is very good in house movement, IMHO. Also i feel like H02 Monaco wear smaller on the wrist. It just perfect.

I do hope someday when they release H02 Aquaracer it won't be as expensive and even still below H02 Autavia first generation.

Looks great on the bracelet. It's such a good design.

Doubt it, David only wears precious metals these days. If it aint gold or platinum it aint good enough for the founding father of C11 😎

Hope that Tag makes a comeback of a Monaco bracelet though because it looks amazing

Correct- not my watch, but a loaner.

Maybe precious stones are next?

The bracelets are still available to buy. Were they always an aftermarket purchase from Tag/Heuer, or did some Monacos come with bracelets as standard?

Much like today, you could choose a bracelet or the leather strap.

Most Monacos came/come on leather straps though and the availability of a bracelet is not widely advertised or offered.

For instance, when I wanted the bracelet for my ACM Edition, the boutique were not sure it would even fit. It did, of course.

I bought mine back in 2005, so memory is failing me, but I do recall it being very expensive- maybe that's why it was kept "under the counter". At the time, I reckon the Monaco was around A$3500-4000 and I would have thought the bracelet was A$700? Could be wrong..

Possibly. My bracelet was A$430 a couple of years ago from the boutique. An excellent price, I thought.

Do I understand correctly here, can any model today be bought with a bracelet? They just dont showcase it and customer has to specifically ask for it? If thats the case, I had no idea

I didn't need a Monaco until I read this thread. In fact, I didn't even WANT a Monaco before I read this thread.

Thanks guys!

Not sure if still applies, but when I bought a Carrera I was offered a bracelet as a bonus. I declined and insisted on extra discount instead, but I was not even aware the model had a bracelet option. There were non on display, it was just they had some. "in the back". It was "valued" at 15% of the watch value by their reckoning.

I've never seen a Monaco with a bracelet on display in a boutique. But I've not visited very many. I know my local boutique doesn't keep the bracelets in stock and has to order them in.

That is my experience too.
