I've seen it in the flesh on SAT in the TH boutique in Geneva (behind glass, so no opinion on the build quality). Visually, I really like it much better than the older 7-liner. Kinda more restrained...

For the EU-based folks among us: Price confirmed to be 265 EUR (if you order from France, directly through TH's web/phone-shop).

Note that the bracelet seems to transition from Switzerland to Pforzheim first, which probably means that you can also get it from TH in Pforzheim if you are based in Germany. In any case, you need to get hold of someone at TH through e-mail or phone since the bracelet isn't listed as a standalone item yet in their webshop(s)...

 

Tag is not very consistent in their pricing... you want a piece of fabric for your entry level Formula 1? Sure that will cost you 400 Euro!

You want a nicely finished bracelet for one of our luxury watches? Sure yours for only 265!

Maybe the new bracelet is made in China from the Connected 3 chain of suppliers and some of the more expensive items made in Europe?

 

The pricing is puzzling. It seems cheaper to buy the bracelet separately rather than with the watch. One can buy the Black Monaco with the croc strap and buy the steel bracelet separately for slightly less than the watch with bracelet. Which would be the cheaper route to go, than buying the watch with bracelet and adding the croc strap later.

But I can't imagine they'd pair a cheaply made bracelet with a "halo" watch like the Monaco H02, so I have faith that it will be of acceptable quality to me.

 

Yes of course Im not saying I think its bad quality, most things are made in China. People say the Connected 3 is well made. Just speculating on the weird prices...

 

All of the Monaco 50 straps were very reasonable too, just a little over $100 USD & change. The quality of these straps were as good as any from TH that I've owned. So go figure?

 

And yet the gold/brown strap for my WAY208C is over £200

 

Nice marketing pics of the bracelet from TAG Heuer.

 

Another nice shot.

 

Just came across this on the Tag Heuer Facebook Page.
Asking if the bracelet is available to be purchased separately and they say No.

 

That's what I would do. If you go in asking about the new bracelet from the new model and can it be ordered, they might say no.

Ring up and ask to order a specific part number and they will likely just do it.

 

Maybe it's the 'official' line, to 'encourage' people to buy the new watch... TAG isn't Rolex, they actually want people to buy stuff, they'd rather sell you a £300 bracelet than nothing.

 

Can you share the part number, often thought about the Monaco on a bracelet, strangely the black face version looks better on a bracelet than the blue-unless it’s just the pictures-but it would be worth a try.

 

BA0644.

 

Cheers, gonna call my AD later.

 

That could be on my list after an IWC Portuguese and silver anniversary Carrera
