I just couldn't resist the temptation of 005. Hope that Titan sells off fast so that I can pay my bills

Congrats @YG_Rulz!!! That is one stunning Monaco, enjoy it in good health!

Did you buy the one on sale from Japan, or is that a different one?

No this is a different one. Got it locally in UK only

#005, super cool. Congrats again.

Congrats buddy.
That is a super cool Monaco with an awesome low number.

Nice!

Finally managed to get the money shot. It's a shame that the date wheel is not lumed. Thankfully the sweeping second is not visible.

I struggle to reconcile these shots with what I saw in the store. Granted you can only make it so dark in the store by covering it with your hand, but we had a torch on it and it still didn't really shine like that.

 

[YG_Rulz]

I've got a UV torch which I used for the lime activation, plus quite a dark room for the colour to pop out. This was the watch just this morning before heading to work.

 

[Aquagraph]

Cool, I guess it's like the Solargraph bezel, you really need the ideal conditions... which I couldn't get with that in store either! Maybe TAG should consider installing a dark closet in their stores, I'm sure it would help sales.

i actually tried the skeleton for the first time at my local AD. The Night Driver is clearly lighter than the skeletons. i suppose it's because of the Grade 5 vs Grade 2 Titanium

Wonder if Tag is paying Timex royalties for their Indiglo technology?!

 

[YG_Rulz]

Why is no one buying this. Less tha £6500 now

 

[Aquagraph]

Still too expensive.

 

[YG_Rulz]

Personal opnion but I think the watch is quite good value for less than £6500. G5 titanium, full lume, in-house movement - ticks a lot of boxes

 

[Aquagraph]

Maybe people are just sick of one limited edition after another after another. I mean it's pretty meaningless, cos there'll probably be 4 or 5 limited edition Monacis next year too.

 

[YG_Rulz]

I agree, these limited editions are getting out of hand. I won't be surpised if TAG rolled put more LEs than Seiko this last year

I noticed that's another one from Japan. You know the retail price there is 1,193,500 JPY, which is about 6400 GBP (or $7800 USD). So basically selling at close to Japan's retail price.

Definitely seems like the place to go to get a good price, and it's not even really discounted much from Japan's perspective.
