·From what I understand through the process I went with customizing a Speedmaster, it comes down to the finish on the underlying metal. Polished = shiny and polished look, brushed = matte look

·And it's not just shiny, it's a mirror polish.

·I called the only boutique up here and inquired, they didn’t even know about it! Ah well, keeps my boy bits safe from her indoors wrath.

·But the stainless steel Monacos all have parts of the case polished, like the lugs. Yet the DLC versions, like the Hourglass, are all Matte finish.
And it's not just shiny, it's a mirror polish.
Right, but watches can have different finishes on different surfaces and the DLC will reflect that. Look at the bezel around the crystal on the Night Driver for instance - it's brushed.
Polished DLC tends to have an almost liquid, mirrorlike appearance.
Only time will tell if TAG's process can't hold up, but I highly doubt they'll have any issues.

·If the Dark Lord Tribute and the Monaco Titan were lucky charms for Max, I think the Night Driver will never find it's way on Max's wrists after todays defeat 😝

·No. 002/600 available in Harrods right now. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Only wish I hadn't blown my money this year already 🙁

·It's still available to ADD TO CART on the US website. An indication to me that the price is a bit too high. If it had been a bit more reasonable, I think it would've sold out faster. Like the green and purple Monacos, which were also limited to 600.
Still, it's probably my second favorite release of 2023, after the 60th Anniversary Heuer Carrera.

I've noticed that, too. The Racing Blue Calibre 11 Monaco is also still available on the US website. It is priced similarly to the Night Driver (although there are 1000 available rather than 600).

·If anyone's interested in a Night Driver for US$8500, there's one on eBay ending soon which has not got a single bite. Possibly a steal.

·I wouldn't mind pulling the trigger if it was for $8000 - but with me being in UK it's a bit difficult managing the watch in the US. The watch itself is genuine, no. 056/600.
