Thanks Nic
Strange time really as now the collection on one side is complete i'm not sure what to look at next! I guess i will need to focus in another direction, but have no idea where as yet!! I'll still keep one eye on Monacos though, but only one!
Totally agree re 73633b with blue subs, nothing about the watch relates to Heuer as far as i'm concerned, script, markers, hands, and well everything really are all wrong, it certainly doesn't appear in the book, as i remain 100% convinced it is not a "correct" original Monaco, unlike (as you mention) the 1533b grey sub....yet to see proof of the white subdial silver dial cal15...but i'd love there to be one...so hope you find it and reveal it to us!
Lovely pics...

: Well done rich .....you finally made it. All that hard work is near
: an end.
: i cant wait to see the final copy. Its true what Arno says. It is
: amazing how you have dived into the monaco
: and its history and how much info you have learnt in such a short
: time....hats off to you!
: im guessing there is still lots to learn about monacos as things
: get unearthed. still dont like those all blue manual wind ones
: that weve talked long and hard over...lol but i do like the blue
: cal 15 with grey subdial and the odd silver with white subdial.
: i personally own quite a few monacos. i rarely wear them which is a
: shame,i think its because i dont want to hurt them? but i do
: love those sharp edges and to touch and flondle them. there is
: something about handling a monaco that is unlike any other
: watch. During my time selling and working on them i have
: discovered a few trates. A good tip is if a monaco is missing
: its chrome split ring that helps it sit in the case. Use a thin
: rubber gasket. this makes the movement sit snuggly into the
: caseand acts as a cusion too and maybe helps with its water
: tightness lol. my current personal fave is the blue. i have gone
: full circle and now im loving that matt blue again. but they are
: all good.......but of course you know that! good luck
