Monaco noir -- 256 016 to 256 486
In Response To: Re: Monaco noir ()

Arno:

We have seen eight to ten samples that fall within the 256016 to 256486 range; interestingly, these are "bunched", with several in the low end of the range (four of them between 016 and 064), and several toward the high end of the range (four of them between 331 and 486) . . . we have not seen any in the middle of the range (none in the vast expanse between 064 and 331).

Abel's is below this range, with a 255xxx serial number; I have never seen a blue or a gray in the range between 256016 and 256486, so I would guess that these 256xxx numbers were used exclusively for the black PVD guys.

I will update my registry soon -- http://www.onthedash.com/docs/RegistryMonacoPVD.html -- as there are a few to be added.

: Rich I think you raised an interesting question ? Have these
: black Monaco been on the shelf or not ?
: We have not seen any evidence like catalog pictures or price lists
: including the black Monaco.
: I guess all nos pieces came from former Heuer employees or somehow
: Heuer accociated people.
: Interesting would be to understand if the serial numbers 2561xx,
: 2562xx were reserved to the pvd or further used with the blue
: and grey dial variations ?

: Cheers
