Hope the trip is going well DC.

I agree about case depth, its a bit of an issue for me...the original 1133 case is a perfect weight and size...the overall depth on the 24 i suspect would be too chunky for my taste, but like everything you don't know until you try...once a blue dial variant with white subs lands (please dont use orange accents on the dial with the blue TH!) i will go and try one.

I do love the way the movement looks though and think the rear case is much nicer than the standard McQueen re-edition. Like framing a work of art...

Cheers

: Thanks for posting the link Jeff.

: Interesting to read everyones comments, but have to say that I LOVE
: the Monaco 24. The only doubt that I'd have is over the height
: of the watch- its a thick, tall case.

: I had a deposit on the original Gulf model, but pulled it after I'd
: tested the watch for a week- nothing wrong with the watch, just
: felt that the stripes weren't me. I like this version more, but
: like Rich, I'm waiting to see a McQueen color model before
: breaking the piggy bank.
