Good day everyone.

I have finally managed to get my hands on my holy grail. I was very patient and waited for a good deal to pop up. This piece has been top of my list for a while as some of you may know 😀

A special thanks to @Jim Dollares for answering my silly questions and giving me advice.

Here is my new baby.

Congratulations!!! 😀 👍
There are many different Monacos, but this one is a safe bet 😉

Thanks for the kind feedback everyone! I am loving it.

Quick question, winding it feels a lot different than my other mechanical watches. Is this normal?

Based on those I handled, It should feel VERY smooth (like: barely noticeable) on a new Cal.11/12 module chrono.

What do YOU mean by “different”? 👎

I don't really get 'feedback' when winding it, compared to a H01, for example. It feels very smooth, as you described. This is the first Cal11 I have ever touched.

Try winding it by turning it upside-down, facing up. So the crown is on the right hand side like any other watch.

Thank you sir! I still can't believe it to be honest. It's so beautiful, I've never seen one in real life, it looks even better in the flesh than in pics.
