    Yep you’re right! My bad… apparently only 10 again in Aus which is what the boutique said about the Green Monaco

    W:DW! I may not be a fan of the green dials but I’m a fan of the glassbox Carreras :thumbsup: Looks nice and modern, (for a Heuer ;)) I think I’ve said it here before. The Carrera glassbox is like a blank canvass. Expect TAG Heuer churning out more of these colorful dials in the future :p

    i absolutely love this dial colour in person and to me it’s much better than the dark green to black in the Monaco. I’m in the minority there I’m sure which is great as there aren’t enough of these LE’s to go around on both sides! I hope they keep going in a bold direction across all of the different watch families as everyone will like different pieces more than others.

    Yeah Yeah. My family is on the Sunshine Coast and I spend a fair bit of time there too. No good ADs there though - only the boutique in Brissy

    This is a striking dial, I like it a lot. I love it’s completely teal and without white tension ring, just like the Dato.
    Big fan of the teal colour, pretty much how I imagined it. TAG Heuer are masters of sunburst dials.
    Don’t like the croc strap, this on a nice light tan or cream leather or canvas will look great. A light nato for Summer?

    What's the difference between a Special Edition and Limited Edition?
    If there are only 500 Pieces wouldn't it be Limited?

    Could it be similar to the Monza? If they sell fast and good, more will be produced

    One is 'Special' and is....., well, 'Limited' ;)

    I suppose a Limited might not be Special and vice versa but, in this case, it seems as though the Special is Limited too.

    Thank you for this David, especially appreciate the superb photos, really shows how beautiful this dial is. As @Yago was saying, TAG Heuer produces some amazing sunburst dials. I think this might be my second favorite of all the great glassbox models. If I could afford it, I would buy the teal one as a summer piece, would complement its silver sibling very well. Would probably put it on a tan or beige strap for a fun and vibrant look.

    Green details of the movement are really nice, glad to see this effort going into it rather than "only" doing a different dial colour. Feels like the complete package this way.

    Best of luck to all of you trying to purchase one, I am so excited to see more real life photos of this one.
