Another Tag Heuer Thread - Monaco

[Wisingapore]

Thought I should start another Tag thread so as not to misdirect the ongoing discussions in the other threads with my query.

I used to like this brand very much (esp the 2000) series of automatics which all my classmates had and I lusted after. Later on I hated it for making so many quartz models and selling them at prices way over deserving for quartz (that includes the electro - mechanical humbug).

But a recent bringing of a friend to WIS-dom (he decided on the carrera) made me rethink the Tag.. in particular I am now captivated by the monaco...

I note that there are now many different models of this old design... square subdials, round subdials, the blue monaco, the gulf edition... what do u guys think of my choice for a representative tag in my collection? and where can i find one for a good price?

A vintage mint condition monaco is to die for but rare as hen's teeth.

Monaco is nice..but square face doesn't suit everyone.

Tag Monaco are very nice, but they are way over-priced.

in what way ???

I always loved the blue tag monaco too. The blue is fierce, and the shape is masculine. The serpent skin version is quite nice too haha. I feel that the LV Speedy watch is almost an imitation, but then again, tag belongs to LVMH.

But its not sapphire glass is it?

Under the sales section, i think wolf selling the tag heuer chronograph, price seems quite good.

Take the Monaco chrono for example.....cost so much and uses a plexi glass crystal! Some may call it vintage but it's a no no for me!
Movement is only decorated with Geneve stripes and pearlage, no blue screws and it's not even certified chronometer for that kind of price.

The non-chrono version uses sapphire
