Many thanks for your post Ita, my comments should not be construed as "negative" i think a reasonable success to me means just that quite successful, which i think it was.

I bid on the phone and have to say was thoroughly impressed with the staff, very helpful and very friendly. I agree it was a different event to Omegamania and i for one agree, we do not want Heuer to be out of reach to allcomers if possible!

1969 is without a doubt the launch date for the first Monaco the version we are talking about from your sale would have been late 1969 to early 1970. I have no idea why Tag have confirmed 1965 as there was no chronomatic automatic movement until 1969!

Best wishes
