Jim, my CAW2113 can almost mimic your Silver Gulf design under bright lighting. But it can also look black as well. Its true color is grey.
I'm just not able to get into the radial-type markers on the newer Monacos. I think the horizontal rectangular markers just work better to accentuate the case. That said, I like the silver one if it were a sunburst dial
The silver dial is sunburst, description reads TAG Heuer Monaco Heuer02 Gulf special edition concept In the watch world today, there is nothing hotter than a silver dial. This proper Gulf Monaco with its timeless sunburst silver dial and Gulf livery delivers a perfect combination of pure motorsport heritage with modern TAG Heuer design.
My guess would be not many. Aquaracer is more of a mainstream diver, not very appreciated by the enthusiast nerds. Bronze on the other hand feels like a material that attracts such nerds.
No idea, it was on some weird site called picterest or something like that. Yes interesting and cool looking
