New Post: TAG Heuer Monaco 50th Anniversary Watch 3: 1989-99 Limited Edition

I took these photos for the Monaco 50th book contest, but thought some should go here in the '90s thread. 😉
This is my original Game Boy which is nearly 30 years old. It has unfortunately yellowed a bit, but the original grey color is fairly close to the shade of grey used in the dial.

On a side note, I just pulled my Monaco Gulf Grey's box (circa 2010) to have a re-look at the box. It has a nice soft touch vinyl-like finish on the box. However, it has a small section that looks a little worn. Odd, as that box has been in storage for close to 8-9 years and never touched until now! I suppose it's due to age, heat & humidity. Some of my older TAG boxes (actually these were round containers) from the '90s with soft touch finishes have deteriorated even worse, as the finish is peeling off.

So on the plus side, my hunch (hope) is that the Monaco 50's box might stand the test of time better when compared to the leatherette or soft touch type of finishes used on some of TAG's other boxes. Still, a wooden box like the 50th's 1 of 50 box set or the 40th anniversary's box would have been more fitting for these individual Monaco 50's.

I like the new boxes. I think they will be more survivable, yet also more recyclable. My faux leather box from 10 years ago looks good, but if I rub at it the material starts to come away. The PU 'leather' must be perished - atmospheric oxidation? An older plastic flip top Tag box I have had a rubberised top which has turned to a sticky goo - all by itself - gross! But I agree that the Monaco 50s were special enough to deserve a wooden box.

It's not meant to be a substitute for the real Monaco 89-99, of course! It’s just a Connected tribute to this one, made by the best artist: Gavril Tardi 👍

It's not even a tribute, it's an affront to the Monaco and I renew my request to banish all Connected photos to their own thread, where they belong.
