: I've been lurking on this forum for almost a year now, but when I
: saw Jeff Stein's pics of his Monaco 1133B, I thought this might
: be the time to dare posting to the forum. I also have one of
: these Monaco McQueens with the flat hands, though mine says 1133
: - no B, and the other side shows 157851. I'd wondered if my
: Monaco was legit, given that I'd never before seen pics of the
: Monaco with these hands. Anyone know more about this particular
: iteration of the Monaco?

: Unfortunately for this forum, I also don't have great pics of this
: Monaco. Indeed, there's something about the geometry of this
: watch that makes taking a favorable photo of the hands, the
: dial, the crystal, the case, etc. all in one photo next to
: impossible. So I attach what I consider to be my most accurate
: and demonstrative (and Photoshop'd) photo of my Monaco, and I
: offer a link to my other pics at
: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidw-b/ . None of the other pics
: are great either, so lower your expectations now. ;-)

: This watch was one of my late father's watches, and he never wore
: it so it's in mint condition, and I still have the original box,
: though the box has some wear to the interior "Heuer"
: logo as my pics show. It is my hope to ultimately sell his old
: watches, which includes a vintage Heuer Mareographe, as I'm not
: an interested collector, but I'll probably need better pics and
: a better economy to do so.

: Thanks, Jeff, for posting your great pics, especially of this rare
: Monaco McQueen. Again, if anyone knows more about this
: particular iteration of the Monaco, I'm real interested in
: learning more about it. Thanks!
