FS: RARE 1133B MONACO TRANSITIONAL -- Informal Auction

For sale my Monaco 1133B Transitional, serial number #158192, mint dial, hands and case, on blue Corfam strap with Sun Heuer buckle.

In the registry of approximately 30 of the early Monacos from 1968 and 1969 (Chronomatic and Transitional), this is one of only six watches that is listed as having a "Mint" dial; so this is one of the very best early Monacos you will ever see. Here is the link to this Registry -- http://www.heuermonaco.co.uk/#/early-monaco-serials/4574992144" This watch is in mint condition, as you can see in the pictures.

Market is changing very quickly on these rare pieces so I decided to let it determine the price by seeking best offer over €12.500 Euros, through the same style of "informal auction" as we had two weeks ago.

I will keep this informal auction open for one week - it will end 26th night (GMT time). However I reserve the right to accept an offer earlier, to extend the time period for offers, or to decline all offers if I believe that the high bid is not fair for this piece.

Watch runs perfect - Cal 11 with serviced and updated date change fix. The date on the early Monacos (Cal 11) often does not change properly.

Below are the details of how this informal auction will end:

Auction ends Wednesday March 26th, at 11:59pm (GMT Time)
Please have your best offer in by Wednesday March 26th, 3:00 PM (GMT Time). After reviewing the offers at that time, I will announce the highest offer. Whoever makes this high offer will be the only person, who receives ONE opportunity to respond to the highest other offer that is received by the end of the auction (11:59pm).
Anyone may place a bid between 3:00 and 12:00 (midnight), but only the high bidder at 3:00 will have the right to match any bid that tops his 3:00 bid. Therefore, this process will narrow it down to TWO people.

No offer received past 11:59 pm (GMT time) will be accepted or acknowledged.

I will publicly announce the high bid once every 24 hrs or so if necessary. If there is no update then the price posted previously remains as the high bid.
