Does look quite nice there I must admit... albeit the surround looks grey rather than silver..

I can’t keep a T shirt white for 15 minutes! A white watch strap might? survive longer, but I doubt it. Wife reckons I need to keep my arm in a poly bag might work, although I’m worried the bag would end up over my head!
Most of us (@Hubert, @C-Balls, and myself) saying 10k were referring to the USD price. Which when sales tax is added, will put both of these above $10k (in most US states).
I thought the 2021 Titan Monaco was great but had a really hard time with its near $8k price. I like both of these even more than the Titan but have an even harder time with their near $10k price.
I'll add that my problem with the price has more to do with wanting to buy one, rather than TAG raising prices.
Objectively speaking, TH hasn't raised the price that much compared to the 2023 Racing Blue Titanium C11 Monaco, which IIRC was $9200. The new Gulf is $9550, not bad compared to the Blue, but quite a bit more than the $7900 2021 Titan. Yet when I look at my Titanium Omega 007 Edition Seamaster, it was $9200 back in 2021 and is now $10,600. I just can't afford to buy anything these days. 🙄
At this price point Zenith offers the better movement in the Safari or Shadow (both ti 2) so the Monaco would not even be a consideration for me.
I think we can agree that all TAGs are overpriced, especially when one considers the movements used.
But at the end of the day, we love what we love, and I love the Monaco. I haven't been as excited for a new Monaco release since the 2019 50th Anniversary watches. My 90's Edition Monaco 50th was $6550 back then. OTOH, I still see aftermarket asking prices well over $10k. 🤔
