Here are the first, third, fourth and "fifth/15" executions of the "B" monaco. The second execution is the non-chronomatic metallic dial (I dont have that one). The Chronomatic is the newest joiner to the collection - I love it (thanks Nick). I need to improve the photographs, I couldn't do justice to the watches, but anyway, here it is, I thought you guys would like it.
Two interesting things for me - there is an early 3rd execution dial (the classic mcqueen style) which has subdials which are slightly concave, and a later 4th execution dial where the subdials are completely flat. I think the colour difference between the 3rd and 4th executions are just due to fading, I don't know if the difference were there in NOS state. Anyone comment?
Also, it is interesting that the cal15 returns to the earliest roots of the monaco with the metallic dial.
