Please do not mind my intervention here...II

Hi, I just saw that the photos must have been taken from OTD recently, after having been on it for 5-6 years. When I last saw them-approx 2 months ago- they were still there.
According to the official response email from 2004 by TAG Heuer from 2004 ( as per my quote in my first mail), it may a consideration to put them on there again.

Cheers
Ron

: Hi Cookie, Mark, Richard,

: regarding this subject please let me quote from an email that I
: received from Severine Guenat at TAG Heuer Chaux de Fonds, dated
: June 11th 2004. It was her answer after I sent a photo of an
: identical version asking for identification. By the way, this
: watch -which I sold in 2006- can be found back on the OTD
: Gallery.

: Here's the answer which I received:

: Dear Ron,

: I have just discussed with our senior watchmaker who confirmed that
: the dial fitted on your Monaco caliber 7736 is original. We have
: effectively produced ( mid 70) this model with a dial on which
: the markers are printed. We would like to take this opportunity
: to inform you that due to the age of this timepiece, some parts
: such as dial, hands are definitely out of stock.

: Best regards
: Severine

: The watchmaker involved was Mr Rousseau who has retired since but
: was present during the first Heuer Meeting in Chaux de Fonds in
: 2008.
: My assumption is that this watch was made at the end of the Monaco
: lifetime, trying to bring a cheaper version in the market and
: see what would happen with sales.

: Hope this makes you happy Cooky. I can send a copy of the email to
: you directly should you ever need it. I have it in hard copy
: here.

: Cheers

: Ron
