Hi DC
Thanks for the pics, nice to have a short term loan, don't scratch it ;-)! I have to say im a bit dissapointed in it, as i was really looking forward to it. Maybe that will change when i handle one, but to me its too big, certainly too deep (The original Monaco 1133 is hardly a small watch!) and the pvd finish looks a bit too shiny for me, i much prefer matt.
So this combined with the price (if its still planned approx $9000) might keep me away from it. Again i think i will find myself prefering either another vintage Heuer OR perhaps a Bell & Ross BR126 Vintage heritage (round face, pvd finish which come out in September), the B&R is a third of the price also!
Cheers
