Sharing what I believe to be a limited edition, late 90's S/EL, model WG1117-K0. I've seen several that are numbered (xxxx of 1500), as this one is. I also believe I've seen some with the same model number but an actual serial number, like other S/EL's. None of the numbered units have a second serial number. So, not sure if it started as a limited edition but then was converted into a production model or something else. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can shed some light here. I've seen several available in Japan and this one is from Japan, maybe a Japan-only release? Indoors the dial looks almost matte black, outdoors the dial pops! Uniques for the WG117 as compared to the WG111A, which is the other blue dial quartz S/EL: -> navy blue dial (vs. medium blue) -> cream colored hour markers, date outline, and text (vs. white) -> black chrome indices (vs. chrome) -> monochrome white Tag Heuer insignia (vs. multicolor green/red/white) -> no chrome inner ring (vs. chrome inner ring) -> serially numbered "No XXXX/1500" (vs. traditional serial number) Front, back, and on the wrist shots attached!
Just came across an old Bamford post for an art deco Monaco C11 https://www.instagram.com/p/B68qpzuge4y/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Apparently made exclusively for IG sale for £7500
Not sure if it has been posted before, and I don't think it's an official TAG release, but more of a jeweller special. Just got posted in a New Zealand watch Facebook ground. Aquaracer with the NZ SAS symbol.
It has its own part number so I would say it is official. Nice to see photos of one in the wild. I didn't realise it was the NZ SAS I just assumed it was the UK SAS.
