·I suspect it's an industrial (pvd, dlc,..) matte coating, reference to the '70s and '80s coatings of various Heuer watches and another cue from Bamford.

·Maybe you just have to look at it long enough and it starts to look good?

Perhaps that's why @heuer1860 is able to score some of the rarer Monaco pieces when he visits there too (e.g. Gulf 1st win & '80s Monaco 50). I believe he was the one who said there wasn't a waiting list, maybe he was referring to Japan.

·So where do you all rank this Monaco in the line of Monaco's in time?
For me, the watch is as expected from the leaked pics. But the official photos are certainly better looking. I think it looks quite nice, but would prefer all red or all orange accents (not a deal breaker). I feel the design is rather conventional compared to the first 3, though the white thick ring gives it a bold Bamford kind of look. My ranking is as follows:
3, 2, 1, 4

·The article says there's a special Tag Heuer exhibit of historical watches at the TH Boutique in Omotesando. I was just in Tokyo 2 weeks ago on business. I stopped by the TH Boutique in Ginza, should have went to the one in Omotesando instead! 😡

·As I said in the post, I think this one is perfectly "nice" but the most conservative. The other three are far more "love it or hate it" than the fourth one.
For me, the last one along with the red 1980s are the two most interesting

·I tend to 1, 3, 4, 2 (everyday wearability); but 2, 3, 4, 1 (coolness).

·Buuut was the exhibit open 2 weeks ago? Did I not read somewhere that it opens now
The ironic thing is, I usually go to the Omotesando Boutique if I have a chance when visiting Japan. But I hadn't gone to the one in Ginza in quite a few years, so thought I'd stop by. I found that the Ginza Boutique had moved to a new location, but the store was smaller than before and I found it disappointing.
Another interesting tidbit from the article says the watch was launched at the Gallery of Horyuji Treasures at the Tokyo National Museum. Seems like an odd event and seemingly without the fanfare, glitz and glamour of the previous 3 launches.

·Don't know. The article you posted by Revolution only mentioned it ends on Oct 1st, didn't mention a start date. However, one week seems pretty short for an exhibit, so there's a chance the display of rare iconic models (without the 00's model) was already there when I visited.
