all else being equal, I prefer the Monte Carlos of the three-button variety -- lower-profile case; better symmetry; greater versatility (ability to set the hours) . . .

good theme emerging here . . . maybe we post timepieces to correspond with some of the Heuer related F-1 races:

• June 13 = Montreal (PVD or stainless)
  
• June 20 = Indianapolis (special dials issued)
  
• July 4 = France (they made Heuers there!!)
  
• July 11 = Silverstone (an obvious choice)
  
• Sept 12 = Monza (and post Modenas and Veronas, as well)
  
• Sept 26 = China (post your favorite fake)

: In honor of the historic Monte Carlo F-1 race
: this weekend, I thought I would post a quick
: pic of my newest purchase. This Monte Carlo
: is absolutely pristine(except for a slight
: dent in the lower right corner of the
: mounting plate), with original box and
: manual as well as a recent repair bill from
: LVMH for $235 maintenance repair bill.

: So sit back and enjoy watching the racing this
: weekend on SPEED Channel.
