Are you absolutely sure Jim?
It's gorgeous!
BTW, what kind of strap is that? I'd like to get something similar for the Dato.

Wasn't what I was getting at, but.... the irony - the man most famous for wearing the Monaco with the crown on the wrong side (and let's not forget that was a convenient engineering solution and not an 'aide memoire' to the user) wears it on the wrong wrist - thus putting the crown back next to his hand where it belongs!

McQueen is a “rebel”, notorius doing his “hero-antihero” persona. That’s why people think of him as “cool” 😎 Unconventional, to put it simply. He was already an icon of that 60s “counter-culture” era and still lingers on today. Not your typical “prince charming hero” 😜

This one’s from GLC, very well made. I just received straps from Two Stitch. I like those as well. Cheaper and very well made as well. Will buy more there.

Jim...
I saw the new Monaco today..
Looks like we will be adding it to your Silver dial thread.
Not with that red 12 you won't

What you haven't realized, it's that it's not a "red 12". It's a tricolore for the crest. 😉

Very tough choice between these two today. But chose the left. 😀

No tough choice for me, it’s been rainy for the last couple days and I’ve been planning on this as soon as it was sunny again 😁

These are lovely. Are they the sub-39? I’ve been looking at one (the new 39 GMT -I’m a sucker for that 4th hand) for a while, but unsure about how it wears. How’s it wear compared to your glassbox, if you don’t mind me asking?

No, these are the 1521 (50 atmos). 42mm case but it wears very well on a smaller wrist due to the shorter lug to lug and the way the lugs bend down. I haven't tried the Sub 39 but I imagine it wears even better. The Sub 39 has a 48.5 L2L and only a 12mm thickness including the crystal. The GMT looks great, but so does the SuperBlue.

Apparently there's a new Squale model dropping on 6th May - a collaboration piece. Don't know anything about it as yet, though.

thanks! Any more info - or a link if you have it handy?

Agreed on the super blue. It’s great! But I tend to gravitate towards black and white exclusively, to my detriment. However, the Hamilton Intra-matic in champagne is starting to persuade me...

Anyways, a 50/50 chance I’ll grab the GMT soon. Unless something teal or pistachio tempts me first 😉 I’ll post pics if it happens!
