If only that were the case.

 

The little one is just so, well ..... little!

 

For Mr & Mrs Aquagraph

 

It is tiny! I think it's 25mm, mine is 37 or 38mm.

 

Hi guys, since we’re all preoccupied with the new Monaco Calibre H02, I’d like to share this not so new Monaco of mine (new to me ) It’s been a long time finding this one. My SMQ Monaco has been missing his partner I think it’s a bit underrated compared to the SMQ Monaco but to me it is equally beautiful with a great homage to the past. I like my Heuer’s with a great story and a wonderful heritage. Both of them looks amazing! The grey dial has a metallic sunburst appearance and you can actually play with the dial contrast depending on the angle and the lighting That’s why pictures may look different from time to time. They also look well together!

Sharing my Twin Monacos
CAW211P & CAW211B LE - both @ 39mm Calibre11)
with matching vintage Heuer Monaco watchbox

 

Congrats Kappa! The Vintage Grey LE is a very nice piece!

 

Yes sir! I’m already happy with these two (plus my TH Black McQueen Calibre 12) I am not sure why the Monaco grey dial doesn’t get its much deserved attention but I am just happy I have the two iconic Monacos both released at the same time in Project 99 (1969) The Heuer Re-editions pay tribute to the Heuer Monaco 1133B and 1133G! 11 for the Calibre 11 first self-winding chronograph, 33 for the unique No.33 tool used in opening this water resistant square case chronograph and letters B & G for blue and grey dials respectively

 

Probably for the same reason the 1133B gets all the glory over the 1133G. Because McQueen wore the blue! LOL
But I agree that the Vintage Grey is a very lovely watch in its own right!

 

I won’t be surprise if a TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre Heuer 02 with the vintage grey dial comes out in the forseeable future. They launched the CAW211B right after the 40th anniversary SMQ Monaco and made the TAG Heuer Calibre 12 Final Edition in this same vintage classic color

It’s pretty obvious sir @Mspeedster LOL But for any ordinary fan, they’d probably get the SMQ blue dial Heuer Monaco first which is quite understandable. But we guys in Calibre 11 are more than anything ordinary already. Heuer / TAG Heuer diehard fanatics LOL

 

Looks great @kappa_md would be nice if you could share more photos showcasing how the grey looks in different lights like you describe

 

Thank you sir @Jim Dollares Appreciate it very much. Will try to snaps some shots this weekend with some lighting. When I got the Monaco Vintage Grey, I immediately took a pair shot with the SMQ Monaco.

 

great find and wonderful photos. Congratulations @kappa_md. Enjoy in good health!

 

Thank you sir @THJunkie Almost all of my Calibre 11 friends here are my TAG Heuer idols Nothing beats sharing your joy with friends with the same love & passion

 

Please correct me if I’m mistaken. During TAG Heuer’s 150th Anniversary back in 2010, they released two models of watches that pay tribute to their gloried past. First is the Heuer Silverstone Calibre 11 LE on blue and brown dial with 1860 pieces each, AND second is the Heuer Monaco Vintage Calibre 11 LE on grey dial, also with 1860 pieces.

Quite similar to this year’s 160th Anniversary where TAG Heuer released the stunning Heuer Carrera Silver 160 LE with 1860 pieces and Heuer Carrera Montreal LE with 1000 pieces

These (TAG) Heuer Re-editions don’t come as often and probably are introduced every decade or so

 

But in between those years there has also been thr Monza and the Autavia?

 

Yes but not quite similar with their classic vintage counterparts
