What a beautiful watch!! The metallic gray, with the black registers, is absolutely beautiful, and the photos are stunning.

Welcome to the club and I do hope that you will enjoy this one!!

: Firstly, a big thanks goes to Francesco who helped me get this one
: out of the US & over the pond, and Rich C for his advice.

: So.. it's about time as Rick said!... I'll admit that I never
: really signed up for the whole hoo-har over the Monaco - I
: thought it was a very cool watch, but it's never really been on
: my radar as a 'must have', especially at the going rates. In
: fact, I wasn't really looking for one when it popped up, so it
: was almost a kind of 'impulse purchase', if you can call it
: that. Well, I'm blown away by it, it's the first time I've even
: handled one, and I even managed to whip the case open, following
: Rich's instructions. It was a bit scary, but I wanted to
: clean/polish the crystal, get some dirt off one of the silver
: bars and check the gasket.

: This one is from 1970 - serial 160xxx, and Peter (I think it's
: Peter) has one that is 162xxx that has an engraving of Oct 1970
: on the back). It's my preferred choice of all the greys - it has
: sunken black subs, service hands and it pretty good condition -
: it's definitely a wearer as opposed to a safe queen. There is
: some small loss of paint around the very edge of the dial, but
: pretty much hidden when the crystal is in place. Overall, I'm
: pretty well chuffed!!
