In Response To: Timeline for the "B" Monaco ()

Shaun

I could add my Trans to that pic when it returns from hospital!

There are 2 diff 1133b dial colours, fairly sure its not a fade issue but perhaps a diff manufacturer.

Nice pic, they are tricky to photo i often find they are easier to capture without the crystals, so no reflections...

: 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.
