it is another Monaco, Reference 1133 Blue (McQueen) . . . it is NOS. It belongs to one of our OnTheDash participants, who bought it from the original owner a few years ago. I assumed that people would figure this out, based on the red box in the bag and the "$9,100" clue.

the "exact date of purchase" was listed as my final tie-breaker, as I assumed that our very clever readers would get through the first three elements (Monaco; 1133B; NOS) fairly easily.

of course, the exact date of purchase is fairly random, but let's just say that it was somewhat late in the game . . . but not 35 years!!
