Hey mate

Myself and Paul G were actually talking about this piece earlier this week disccusing value and condition...and the seller.

I thought the piece was in superb condition and can only echo that from your pictures...what a lovely dial :-)

Having just become the proud owner of an equally rare blue variant (picture below) i can say there is something special about these dials, certainly the lack of writing due to no "automatic chronograph" makes for a cleaner design. I love mine and actually only realised when i received it that the hands are slightly smaller than on a traditional automatic Monaco variant...

So great story, it's great to see another rare vintage piece come to the UK (from Canada) and when you have some time please take a head on dial shot so i can update the website...it needs a 74033g page for the "In Focus" section and that's the first one i have seen with original hands on so far.

I reckon we have seen less than 5 of each of these so far (can you confirm Jeff?) and whilst rarity does not always make value i'd value it at or slightly above the value of a 1133 variant in similar condition. Certainly i paid more for mine than i have paid for a 1133b before.

Well done!
