You ever stop by a Longines AD? Might be worth a look...
Thanks! Yes, I've considered the Logines a few times, but there are too many other watches ahead on my list. 🙁

Yes, the Globetrotters project is go! I've been involved in the Sydney exhibition and will be there for the launch on the 15th of September. Some cool watches on show, so if you live near one of the 10 boutiques, it's certainly worth checking out.

Hi Calibre11,
I rang the Tag Heuer boutique in Sydney to get some information on the Exhibition on the 15th of September but they don't answer the phone and I haven't yet had a reply to the message I left. Do you know the timing of the Exhibition, when it starts, how long will it go for, is it by invitation only? I would like to go but I am just not quite sure of the timing - any help would greatly appreciated.
Phil

They dont produce that model anymore so I think it wont be available at any AD, second hand will be the way to go then. It is a VERY attractive watch though

They're currently running about US $2500 on grey-market sites. You can have both the black dial and the white dial for less than you're about to pay for that 56th edition of the Gulf Monaco....

Yeah i visited Longines AD many times. i like this one so much but they said they dont import it here where i live. Too bad.

Buy it grey-market, or ask a member in a country to pick it up for you and ship it to you. I've done this a few times myself!

They're still available from grey dealers like WatchMaxx, and I think there are a couple on Chrono24

Very true, but unfortunately the Gulf Monaco is already paid for and I already have a commitment for 3 other watches within now and December. 🙁

Launch is here in Dubai on the 14th.

I'm a tiny bit excited to be involved in the project here and will have my 5 Heuers on show.....which are not quite up to the level of some other collectors involved, but as we're covering diving and sailing I can get away with my "cheap" divers 😉

Good point. The publicity of this has been a bit sporadic/incomplete in my opinion, here is a link with some more info-hopefully I'm allowed to link to this-

https://hypebeast.com/2017/9/tag-heuer-globetrotter-watch-exhibition

Cities involved are
Paris – the classic Heuers; Geneva – the major inventions; Munich – the military watches; Venice – cars and timekeeping; Dubai – sailing and diving; Hong Kong – cars and drivers; Sydney – multisports, Tokyo – design through history; Singapore – Formula 1.

It was to be Miami too but that was sadly (but understandably) cancelled due to Irma. No, London was not on the board very unfortunately (and somewhat surprisingly)......

Haha Steve what are you doing reading Hypebeast these days? Gonna start liquidating your watches for a sneaker collection? 😝
