2021 TAG Heuer Monaco Green Limited Edition- CBL2116

Well, it arrived. Could barely get it unpacked before grabbing the camera. Disclaimer, cell phone snaps...

Good first impressions - beautiful. To be honest, I would not call it a green dial but I'm not sure what to call it. The starburst effect is fantastic, mesmerizing. It's black. It's green. It's both. It's about light and angle and how you're interacting with it. Really something.

The sub dials are there, clear, usable, subtle, but allow a great amount of contrast to the hands. Captain Obvious here but much easier than the classic white dials (personally always been on the fence for the blue for that reason).

Solid but alive, bold and modest...absolutely unique and different. A novel original of a classic. That's what I really like about it so far.

Best to all, M.

It just occurred to me that this could have looked even more tip top in a PVD case. Please make this happen TAG Heuer, I might even raid my meagre savings to buy one!

Wow congrats! Looks great

How do you think it wears compared to the slimmer c11 model?

Looks like we've had our first one show up on C24, now, for a HEFTY premium....

Very... it also made me wonder why the photos taken are not reflecting the green as much?

i have just been told i have been allocated one ... should be mid May

Congratulations!

I was told by someone at TH that the watch looks black until you catch the light, so it's not green like the Aquaracer. Probably a good thing if you ask me. Looks stunning.

I think so - it would probably be too much if bright green all the time.

I decided to try an H02 Monaco on today as was unsure about the size for me. I bloody loved it.

yes it’s a big watch - but it’s supposed to be and it’s quite flashy also. Certainly not for the feint hearted. Like nothing else I’ve worn, but in a good way. The lug to lug is compact and if I’m honest it would be odd if it was 11mm thick.

I tried the bracelet version on too. Didn’t like it much. It felt much better on a strap - the alligator was very nice and supple.

Mines due on 7th May. Looking forward to it now.
