I've just bought a new Monaco CS2111 (re-edition era) and it has a third party basic buckle on it. I wanted to check if anyone knows what was the original buckle / clasp that was meant to go on the strap - just wanting to complete the look to it's original glory. options are in the pic
I know the Carrera CS series reissues of that era came with the Heuer buckle. Don't think the deployant clasp came in until the later (39mm) CV series reissues. If I had to guess I'd say the Monaco CS series would also have had the tang buckle.
I took this pic from my 2001 TAG Heuer catalog. Confirmation that it originally came with a pin buckle.
More info on the strap options. Both the Carrera & Monaco came with pin buckles. Only the Monza was available with a deployant clasp.
Thanks for that. I think I'll bastardise the watch and go in for a Heuer clasp for it - love those clasps!!!!
