Can somebody explain to me in very simple language, what define them as co axial. What did they modified from ETA so it became Co Axial.

I've read it but i still cannot truly understand it.

The Co-axial Escapement was invented by an English watchmaker by the name of George Daniels (RIP). The primary driver was to remove the lubrication required in the traditional Swiss Lever Escapement.

Over the years there have been a few threads similar to this ^ question; I had one too.

So I put together this generic thread at the request of various members; most recently @OttoWilliam

I'll start; my "next" TAG Heuer will either be the Jack Heuer 85th Birthday Auatavia

or
the 2017 Monaco Gulf.

If they release a larger Connected around November that is more aesthetically pleasing than the 45mm, then I might consider that too.
I thought they will release a smaller Connected.

I might grow on the white dial as well. Looks good.

On the other story. Looks like Alec Monopoly is not the only one that Biver recruited for messing up watches. Attached ! Introducing Mr Brainwash !

If they could make a rubber strap that looked like that it would possibly be fun, but chucking paint at £20,000 watches if just stupid.

Hope you can still get your monaco 24 someday should you still want it of course 👍

Yes, I would still like the black and silver one Otto.... but whether it will ever happen I really don't know.

I'm 50 in a couple of years. I've admired the Rolex Daytona for a long time but I'm not at one with the brand.

Hence, I'm thinking a full set blue dial vintage Monaco would be more me.

Other than that, vintage style mushroom pushers on a Heuer Monaco re-release please. My least favourite feature of my Monaco IMO.

Monaco is the true boss watch. 👍. That's what they said...

Agree with the button pushers on the Monaco. Ruins the re-editions.

I don't understand why they do it. My Monza, Silverstone & Autavia have the vintage style pushers on them.

The Monaco re-editions were created long before the others. I imagine that if they were to be made now, they would use chrono pushers that mimic the original ones.

No confirmation yet, however given the recent French limited edition, the chances of seeing a Dark Lord are better. But who knows.
That said, I strongly doubt the pushers will change.
