A New Strap for my Monaco

Nice combo 😀

Same thing for me but with the brown strap :

Those 50th Anniversary straps both look great @MonacoMike and @VirgileF!! 👍👍

Personally, I'm partial to the dark blue and blue stitch combo of the CAW211D strap.

I've had this strap put away for a bit, but finally decided to try it out on my Monaco (CAW211P). It's the blue and red strap from the 1989-99 50th Anniversary Monaco (CAW211X).

I thought it would either work great, or come across as way too much, and I am pleased that it's the former! It still needs a little breaking in, but overall, I'm really happy with it as a more sporty alternative to the black the watch came with.

Very nice, got a part number?

I've recently been in contact with a TAG AD preparing some prices, the blue strap was quoted at £90 & bracelet £420.

I was quoted £450+ for the bracelet fitted to the latest black faced Monaco, really disappointing after seeing reasonable quotes on here, plan B then.

MonacoMike - that looks superb and to me at least, is how the watch should've been kitted out from TAG.
Very nice indeed!

Surprised at the £90 quote for an OE strap, considerably cheaper than a TAG dealer quoted me.
As an alternative, I can highly recommend the replacement straps from Watchstrapworld. Nice quality at around £55 delivered. I've bought several for my Monaco's with contrasting stitching and haven't been disappointed, worth a look.

Might just be me, but I think the Monaco's do benefit from a little colourful uplift with contrasting stitching on the straps.

I think £450 is quite fair for a bracelet from a Swiss luxury brand. I was quoted £950 for the black bay 58 bracelet and the IWC bracelets are around £1500-1800 here.
