yes . . . we see so much noise and excitement when the new models are introduced, but not so much attention when they are discontinued. That is why those sheets are so interesting to me. Of course, the unsold watches may sit on the shelves for many years, but it is interesting to see when production was finished.
As much as we love the Monacos now, they were not so easy for Heuer to sell in the mid-1970's. This may explain why they tried the different models and colors from year to year, with the Black PVD Monaco being the last effort to make the Monaco a success.
I believe that I have one more set of sheets to scan, and I will try to do so over the weekend.
