·That Monza’s pretty cool but no match for the Bamford Monaco. Wish I bought that one.

·My gripe with watch media is they never criticise anything... I would totally respect Hodinkee if they said the carbon Monza was a shitter.

·In the Revolution interview video, Frederic calls the Monza's case shape modern and avant garde. Which I always thought it was since the Monza re-issues debuted in the early 2000s. I also thought it was a pretty cool TAG Heuer design, unique to the Monza.
However, I recently came across this vintage Longines ref 3582 from the 1940s. It has a similar case style, turns out the case isn't modern avant garde or that unique after all.
The Longines dial kind of reminds me of the Monza Cal 36 as well.

·Those are the Majetek watches for the Czech army. Very collectable but quite small. I believe Heuer also had a similar case in the 40s though.

·I don't think the case shape is "modern". Just look at the Camaro!!!

·That Monza case shape was quite popular in the 1930s. Not avant garde or modern at all - though it does look good in black.

Goes back to the 1930's.

·Which is why it was so interesting and curious that when they brought it back, they called it Monza even though it had absolutely no similarity to the original one. Perhaps it was the thought that, as such a landmark model, they felt it should have its own case (rather than being a PVD'd Carrera case)

·They also made it very large.
Would love a monopusher in the collection.

That one looks familiar… 😉

·Yup, just found it. http://www.onthedash.com/watches/monopusher-cushion-case/
Goes back to the 1930's.
David had an article on Calibre11 that talked about the inspiration behind CR5112. I sure do miss his site.

·You might think by the title that this is just another "what's wrong with TAG Heuer" video, but I think he's got some valid points about the new Monza. I'm still quite conflicted about how I feel about this watch.

All of this whilst sitting facing the camera with a massive microphone and the back corner of his monitor in frame, just like every other modern TAG basher…
