Best Bet Will be to Post or Send Some Photos
In Response To: Monaco 69 Authenticity ()

Best way to proceed will be to post some photos, or e-mail them to me, and I can post them. In view of its unique configuration, it would seem to be difficult to produce a fake of this particular watch, but there seems to be no limit to what the fakers are able to produce. We have seen TAG-Heuer introduce prototypes of certain watches, and the fakes get to market before the real ones.

I have not followed the Monaoc 69s closely, so I am uncertain of whether or not the fakers have produced this model.
