·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?
I’d probably go Blue Racing - just

·From the article (link below): "With only 1000 pieces available, the watch’s caseback is engraved with its limited edition number, making it a collector’s dream."
Oops. They may want to look at the picture taken by @Mspeedster. 🤦

Reminds me more of a square Nomos rather than a Monaco

·Ah, but his winning co-driver was French! Henri Pescarolo 😁
Who then continued to use that lovely livery scheme as a team owner in the 2000s 😀
In looking for photos of the Pescarolo 01 I also found that apparently Pescarolo Sport is looking at a 2024 return to Le Mans which would be awesome.

·Well it's still up for sale on the UK TH online shop, so clearly it didn't disappear as quickly as expected

·IMHO a looong time. Especially if the model does not harken back 1:1 to some cult classic.
Remember how long the “Rindt” Autavia chronos or the Monza “reinterpretation” were around, including at TH outlets?
Mark my words: People will not queue up for a modern Monaco (let alone at 10k-ish) like they do for a Daytona or AP RO. The 42mm Carreras from W&W 2023 are already at minus 20% to 25% on C24.

·The titan is hands down the nicer piece. Can’t help thinking this one would have look so much nicer and ‘vibrant’ alongside the bright yellow hand if it were in a steel case. Why the current obsession with titanium?

Cos they can charge an extra £1500 for it...

It's really nice on the wrist, especially on a chonky watch like a Monaco

·Hodinkee article out now. I like how short, simple and to the point it is.
"The standard steel TAG Heuer Monaco powered by the caliber 11 has an MSRP of $7,800, while the titanium "Titan" is priced at $8,150 – and both can be found pre-owned for less than that. While I'm not going to argue that a limited edition Monaco with a new paint job warrants a price increase to $9,200, at least it looks good and stands out from the non-limited options in Tag Heuer's catalog." 😁😁

·Went into Oxford Street boutique to check it out. I really like it, but I don't think I love it compared to the other Monaco watches I have in my collection. Bugatti used to race in F1 using that colour back in the day. Might be just a coincidence, but if you're looking for some tenuous historical connection, this does mark the 90th Anniversay the last time Bugatti won the Monaco grand prix by Achille Varzi in a Bugatti Type 51.

·I saw it today in my AD… not bad, but I would take the current “Dark Lord” before this blue & lime Monaco
And -by far- the CAW211P would be my first Monaco choice from the current range! 🥰
