: I'll admit, I wasn't a big fan of the Monaco. Before you burn me at
: the stake, I think I've come around to loving it.

: My Heuer journey began with what I knew, and that was and still is
: divers. But being part of this lil community has opened up a
: love for other Heuer watches, like the Autavias and other
: mechanical marvels. I appreciate other models, but don't like
: them. Take the Silverstone - beautiful watch, but I can't stand
: it. MAybe in years to come it'll be one of my favourites, who
: knows.

: Anyway, back to the Monaco. Yep, this big ugly square thing that
: everyone goes on about has started to draw me in. It's starting
: to look beautiful. Although the brain-washing of this site has
: lead me to believe that it comes with a multi coloured
: friendship bracelet, a glass of cognac and a cigar ;0)
: So, I'm thinking about selling off a few from my collection to make
: room for one. There is one thing that gets in the way - the new
: soon to be released Monaco Grey LE (badged Heuer, not TAG
: Heuer)... I think it's gorgeous, but it's not vintage. This
: leads me on further, it's not vintage, so why not consider the
: first (cw2113) TAG Heuer blue 'Mcqueen' Monaco, which could be
: had for $2000ish (which would allow some funds to be spent on
: cognac/cigars, getting a nice tan and a colourful bracelet) -
: I'm seriously considering it... is this a bad thing?
