Well done, David and Rich!!Coming in at third for me is the first of the re-editions, the CS2110. Again, the watch has a combination of great looks and historical significance. The flat black dial and the two registers gives the CS2110 a clean, simple look, with the bullseye left sub-dial reminiscent of the Calibre 15 sub-dial. Later re-editions had heavily sculpted dials and look a lot flashier than this one. When it was released in 1997 it was the first time in over 15 years that TAG Heuer made a Monaco to sell- and I think they were uncertain how the watch would be received. They chose the Carrera as the first re-edition watch, which was the safe choice. Its hard to imagine TAG Heuer without the Monaco today- but if the CS2110 hadn't been a success it would have almost certainly meant the second end for the Monaco. The CS2110 is still relatively easy to find and looks great with either the black or tan strap and Heuer buckle.
