I still prefer a Monaco with white subdials, or at least different color ones

I would normally agree with you but, in this case, the simplicity of a uniform dial colour is a real triumph.

I like both but really, how many people would actually need the extra clarity of the different coloured sub dials because they use the extra functions of the watch, I do like both styles though.

The in person photos of this watch posted so far, don't look as nice as the official photos to my eye. Perhaps the watch isn't too photogenic. So I was hoping to see one in the metal, as I was in Tokyo on business and stopped by an Hour Glass store yesterday. But unfortunately they didn't have it, the sales guy said they never got one for sale.

I haven't owned a tag heuer since I was 17 (29 years ago) but saw this in the Melbourne Hour Glass store and thought that it looked great.

Welcome Jimmy. Given that there is no protective plastic, did you get it?

I did get it....looks good and is totally different from anything else in my collection.
Also like that it's limited to 50.

It also comes with a brown strap...but I like the black.

Congratulations on the watch, I think the brown strap might have been my choice but it would have to be seen.

Congrats!!! 👍
You have not only the honor of being the first forum member to get one, but moreover, owning one of the most different and striking looking Monaco's on the market. Well done! Had the Hour Glass store I visited had one in stock, I might have been sorely tempted. 😜

I'd love to see a pic with the brown strap placed next to the dial. I think I like it better with the black strap too, but the brown strap could provide a nice complementary look to the beige creme dial.

Another live shot by @chrislichauco

To those that have seen the watch in person, does the dial look more yellow beige (like the live shots posted here) or more salmon beige like in the official shots?

I can also see why we have such a long break to the next TH Monaco 50. Aug being a summer break month, Sept is the month for this hourglass40 Monaco, and hence the next Monaco 50 in Oct.

Tried to get the brown strap by the watch but the lighting is terrible.....Also dug out my original F1 from 1990, still works.

Hmmm, the counter must have made a time jump. So now just about 7 days away.

So what's happening next Monday - Tuesday?

Thanks! The brown strap looks similar to the strap of the '70s Monaco 50th. On the Hourglass 40, it gives the watch a different look, I kind of like it. Seems like a nice alternative if one ever tires of the "dark lord" all black appearance.
