I’m more impressed that @abrod520 gets to play with all of the new releases…even before release.

Looks a lot better in these photos. Really like the pop of lime green.

9300 EUR and they cannot be bothered to individually number them! What’s wrong with the world?

My Zenith Covergirl titanium was €9.7k and also didn't het an individual LE no. like the rest of my LE's. Was a little bit disappointed as it would have been nice to get lucky with a no. same as one of the others.

Saw those earlier, they always have great pictures while the others just use the official renders.
Lovely Monaco, not a real want for me but I’m sure plenty of folk will like it. Interesting about the Heuer badge. Looks like the MCQ isn’t going anywhere and that the C11 Monacos with Heuer badge are here to stay. Don’t want to comment on price too much. Yes steep, and way out of what I’d spend on a C11 but I’m sure they did the math and this fits nicely in their strategy to make the Monacos +10k watches eventually.

I like it, but certainly not willing to spend anything close to $9200 for it.

A few pics from my try on.

Some seriously holy silver dial sexiness in your shots sir, bless you and holy shit wow

Surely TAG should be telling us the relevance of the green. Surely some French racing driver in the 1960s had green shoelaces or something?

Like @abrod520 heard, my boutique also said the yellow-green was inspired by Porsche brakes, such as those on the 918 Spyder. Not sure about this, because the chrono hand has more yellow than green to it, to me.


It's too bad they didn't make it greener, then it would match the '72 Le Mans winning Matra, driven by Graham Hill. This race car would've been the perfect historical reference for TAG to take inspiration from (IMHO).

Thanks, it's hard taking good shots under the bright boutique lights. Here's a few more.


If the price was equal, do you prefer the Titan or the new Blue Racing?

Except Graham Hill isn't French.

Titan.

Ah, but his winning co-driver was French! Henri Pescarolo

Titan wins in my book, heavily influenced (i.e marketing brainwashed) by the Verstappen spectacle around the Titan

Well, I am biased.

The Titan being Max's lucky charm in winning his first WDC is a good reason to go for the Titan. That aside, I kinda like them both, just not the price.

No contest. The Titan is a 9, this one is a good 7.
