    To be clear, the image above is a Calibre 12 Monaco that I have modified. It’s not a TAG Heuer image..

    for the first edition of 169 pieces, you would have to change the black strap for a brown

    I kinda like it. Dial is unique, strap is great. Like you said, colors come down to a personal preference.

    Definitely LOVE the return of the serif font. Current sans serif is good too, but switching the names back to serif is a nice call back!

    The decorative severity of the Cotes de Geneve of the dial is fun for me. It's like the movement of a fine watch has been flipped inside out. I dig it.

    First picture I saw on my phone didn’t impress me, but now better pictures from all angles it is now growing on me, not thank there will be any chance of one being available.

    Same for me. The watch looks a lot better than the leaked images..but it’s not one for me.

    I really like it. Very unusual, but has a definite vintage vibe. 2mm smaller and circular pushers and this would have been perfect.

    I saw that on the UK site. But when I clicked 'add to basket' it told me it was sold out.

    The US site said the same. Hopefully some availability may be added at a later date.

    It has a real quirky charm but with the colour scheme I'm not sure how often i would end up wearing it. looks much better than the previews though.... but will I like one of the other better? That's the question!

    That’s the $64000 question, do you jump at one that is available or wait until you see another that really shouts buy me and miss out, I suspect few if any will be available to buy within a few days.
    When will the first watch appear for sale at premium price I wonder?

    It's nice, really. But for some reason my mind is programmed to expect blue on a Monaco.
