Blimey, that's...... different!
I like it...except the blue sub-dials. Carbon case with stealth black and aqua is cool..but the sub-dials don't look quite right to me.

Rest of the watch looks the goods

What you guys think ?

Is this the closest to dark lord i could ever be ?

I prefer no "bamford" written on the dial though although now its produced at Tag Heuer i dont think we have option to remove it

Is this a prototype because the subdials don't look like they are positioned right. See how the blue at the top is much thinner than at the bottom?

You're not kidding!

Agreed. I think white sub-dials might have been better.

Shame about Bamford on the dial. They could have put that on the back, especially since this not a Bamford custom job but is actually manufactured by TAG Heuer.

Yeah, I can't say I like the blue sub-dials. A bit much... wonder if they would make me one in lime green?😉

Agreed. Will we be able to customize it?

Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8....

Clutching at straws with the name, but this is a very nice looking watch, even though it's an Omega.

Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8....

Clutching at straws with the name, but this is a very nice looking watch, even though it's an Omega.
It becomes a bit too many yellow details, especially with the strap, but overall I'm quite impressed by the Apollo 8 edition. Especially the case back and the modifications made to the movement to make it go better with the rest of the watch.

However, that 44.5mm is way too big for me. It surely fits better in with the rest of the "Dark Side" watches, but it would be nice to see it in a bit smaller size IMHO.

THE ICONIC TAG HEUER MONACO REVAMPED BY BAMFORD WATCH DEPARTMENT
A robust carbon case, a full black dial, aqua blue chronometers: the TAG Heuer Monaco Bamford is taking a dare – the unprecedented interpretation of such an iconic watch.

Flagship piece in watchmaking and motorsports, the TAG Heuer Monaco has kept on renewing itself since the 1970s. This time, TAG Heuer is making an audacious bet with Bamford Watch Department, by offering a unique version that is more contemporary than ever before.

The usual steel case is made of the highly popular watchmaking materiel, carbon. Lightweight and incredibly long-lasting, it conveys a modern and avant-garde touch to the watch. An unprecedented reinterpretation marked by an aquatic blue, on the luminescent indexes of the chronograph counters and the date window, the trademark of George Bamford.

Leader in luxury watch customization, Bamford Watch Department designs exclusive, modernized models in England with a recognizable identity. A style that is both bold and innovative.

This new version is built with the 39mm square dial and left crown that made TAG Heuer Monaco's success. The George Bamford imprint is engraved on the dial, and the bottom of the box is signed "Monaco Bamford". The entire piece is embellished with a luxurious black alligator leather strap.

As the ultimate blend of TAG Heuer's watchmaking technique and expertise with the boldness of Bamford Watch Department, TAG Heuer Monaco Bamford constitutes the symbol of the brand's pioneering spirit.

😁 Oooooh! I'm such a sucker for Gulf themed watches. I'm buying one of these! But why no Gulf logo like the last F1 Gulf?

I want this box too!!! LOL
