    Hey all,

    Since it seems many of you are as nuts about Monacos as I am, let's make this one giant repository for photos of LEFT-hand crown Monacos.

    Right-hand crown Monacos are nice, but the left-hand crown variants are really the ones that embody the spirit of Monaco for me, so let's please keep this post soley to left-hand crown Monacos.

    If you have any cool photos of LHC Monacos, vintage or modern, let's see them, here! Could be of your watches, or other cool ones you've come across!

    What does Bamford charge for a watch like that? I believe it used to be around 10k. Seems reasonable compared to where LE prices are going.

    They currently go for £7,500, which is $10,362 at the current exchange rate. That price, though, is just for a basic one with different colors based on the stock design.

    Something like the ones that I posted above which feature significant additional modifications to the design with surely be a handful more.

    They have a pretty fun little configurator on their website. It doesn't allow for any of the additional modifications, like you see in these pictures. But it is still pretty fun.

    Why is the logo on this (and some others) so high up? It looks a bit odd...

    The Silver Edition (CAW211C) and the Striped McQueen (CAW211D) were both that way. Not really sure why. Maybe they initially intended to have some other script there, or something?

    I'd love to add that figurine at some point. I'm in the early stages of a total garage overhaul and I'm planning to have some space for my many models and other automotive things. That'd fit right in!

    Plus it's cool that you can really see that Heuer on his wrist.

    I think it's noticeable on these 2 because they do not have the large vertical marker at 12 o'clock, similar to the C12s. But the C12 uses the TAG Heuer logo which takes up more space, thus giving more visual balance to that area.

    That’s a test dial, now owned by Morgan King.
