those Monacos are really superb. Amazing trio, every one of them a classic.
The only thing I disagree with is your preference for the painted subdial 1133G.
I think the early recessed subdial 1133G is my favourite Monaco. I know it is heresy to choose it as the favourite monaco, but it is just the most beautiful and subtle dial Heuer (or let's say singer?) made. My ultimate* grail is the 1133G with blue lume rectangular hands shown on the cover of the 1970 catalog - has anyone seen one of these in the metal?
Here is a poor photo of my one. The photo does not capture the elegance and subtlety of the dial - you should search on the forum for some photos posted by Mr Devos (I think, maybe also Abel) that cpatue better this amazing dial.
* OK the true ultimate grail watch is armstrong's speedie.., this is a (slightly) more realistic grail
