    Adam, explain yourself, did you do drugs and dream about that detail?

    How strange - no, the guy at the TAG Boutique literally pointed it out and read the words from it the other day. Weird one

    Maybe special customers get a special box :rolleyes: or they only offer the LeMans box if you opt for the premium solution to buy online without any human service. But that would be strange since Adam saw the premium box in an actual good old store.

    Edit: or was the premium box for the upcoming Lemans watch Hubert is telling us about?

    Appears to be the same TH box as the Green Monaco. PXL_20210522_153247520~3.jpg

    First impressions:
    - Yes, the titanium does make it lighter.
    - The sandblasted case finish is subtle. The renders made it look a lot more porous and dull. It actually has a little sparkle on it, which makes it pop. Very nice.
    - The treated strap does indeed feel smooth and rubberized to the touch. It has a premium soft touch feel. Not like the Connected faux alligator straps.
    - Historical checkered box bonus points, but a Heuer logo would have made it even better.
    - 9/10 for me. :thumbsup:

    I knew I saw that!

    I'm still annoyed the Carreras didn't get the red box though

    This is very strange! @Hubert's box says this watch is a "Limited Edition". But everything else TAG Heuer puts out on this watch calls it a "Special Edition".

    Also, why is the box that @Anthony.R shared different? Is it in the wrong box? Or is it a regional thing?

    Yes this makes no sense. But Hubert is not showing what watch is inside the box, must be the secret Lemans wath he was hinting about before.

    LOL, no. This is the box that the Titan Monaco came with. :)

    WTH :confused:
    One is the ‘standard’ (green) Monaco box. The other is a Le Mans limited edition box (????). The watch is actually launched in the week of the Monaco GP. Loads of VIPs at the GP spotted wearing one. Max actually gets a personal edition with the Monaco track on the caseback.
    Appears to be one schizo watch ::confused2::

    The finish and treatment of the strap looks very similar to the C12 Monaco ACM strap.

    I have this trap for my Monaco Gulf and like it a lot.

    I’m also in the camp that the modern Heuer Monaco Calibre11 39mm are better proportioned and just looks fabulous compared to the vintage. Nothing against the vintage ones, the packaging of the modern ones just awesome for me. It’s just like a classic vintage 911 vs a modern 911 debate ;)

    From TH's IG stories. Looks like he might be wearing the green Monaco here. Max wearing his special "Max" Titan Monaco.

    He probably got a good discount on the green one
