The listing states that is "very rare" yet it purports to be a Calibre 12 which is anything but rare. The dial doesn't look familiar but if the seller is claiming rarity, then (s)he should have some more information on its provenance.

Personally, and I have no need for a dial/movement, I would stay away.

It's the sub-dial hands that intrigue me the most. Can't recall these being used on a Calibre 12 Monaco...or Calibre 11.

The dial is the same as this Monaco ACM, but with hands from the Calibre 11 models and the unusual sub-dial hands

The orange hands and black dial made me think of my ACM edition (CAW211K) but it has silver subdials and I had forgotten about the later, black version. The chronograph second hand looks like it has come from a CAW211K so maybe it is a bit of a frankenwatch.

That's my thought as well.

You’ve clearly written too much stuff over the years DC! 😁

You have seen the same sub-dial hands on a Calibre 12......see: https://www.calibre11.com/hands-on-review-2015-tag-heuer-monaco-calibre-12-boutique-edition/

I remember those retro subdial-hands on the first CAW211D pictures, but they were lost on the production model.
