Hi mate

Well i guess either or both could be collectable in the future....so i think really this one comes down to your personal choice. I'm not sure you would get much more than £1500 easily for your Monaco re-edition and so i guess it comes down to if you like the Silverstone enough to spend the extra money? The Silverstone is more limited at approx 2000 units but neither is THAT limited to imo make a difference for quite some time.

Remember these 2 watches wear totally differently, so my advice (i think) is to try the Silverstone on and see which "sings" to you...if it was me i'd probably either stay with your Monaco or spend a touch more and get a nice vintage Silverstone or a bit more again and get a 1133g Monaco for instance. The vintage will imo outperform the "new" in the short to mid term, no doubt.

Cheers & hope that helps...apologies if i have confused the matter even more!
