Monacos are blooming everywhere!

Is this year be the "Monaco Year" for Tag Heuer? In three months time we see :
Monaco 69
Monaco Vintage Edition
Monaco LS 360

I agree Monaco 69 is old news but what about the two others. They smell like a Monaco but do they really have what it takes to be a Monaco?

The vintage edition : the dial seems nice and colorful with the 4 closed but does it actually look vintage?

Monaco LS : I really liked the Carrera 360 from last year. I think it's a nice improvement because all in all it remains a Carrera. I'm not sure what to think about this new concept. I like the linear second thing but ... come on what is going on with that rubber strap?!

What do you think about this 2 pieces? Are they worth becoming a part of the collection or are they way too far from the genuine Monaco spirit?

Thanks for your advices.

Ryan
