Calibre 12 Monaco at the Geneva Boutique

Question: Would Steve McQueen have accepted this
kind of "British Racing Green"?

I think it looks great, but it will look even better with an alternative strap, definitely racing or canvas.

It looks very strange in my eyes. Glad it doesn't have a Heuer logo, to put a void in my Heritage collection.

I agree. In my opinion they should avoid the "Heuer"-Logo.
Better luck next time.

It's a Swiss-only LE of 250- reference CAW211L

If the green was darker, emerald, or metallic it probably would look better. The black sub-dials are also a bit out of place with the green, IMHO. Maybe 'cream' sub-dials would have been better color-coordinated?

I agree, darker green would have been more "British Racing Green" and more Heuer.

I must have missed this when it came out. I like the green but am not convinced about the off-centre stripes.
