Hello,

First things first: Congrats to you for your first Heuer. And a Monaco is quite a start. Usually we see a Viceroy or similar, but a Monaco is a special watch, at least for me.

It's hard to judge a metallic dial Monaco from just one picture. To be sure you need to see it from different angles. The most important thing is, that the metallic finish is even and undamaged. As it comes to Monacos you always have to have a look at the edges where the sealing touches the dial. This area is very critical regarding seal melt, that destroys the print of the dial.

The hands in your watch appear to be relumed. But they are the original ones and no service replacements, which is a plus for me. The edges of the case seem to be a bit round, but I'm not sure from that perspective.

Anyway it's a great watch and worth to keep and wear. The cal. 15 Monacos are special either you love or hate them, there is not much in between. I definitely love them.

Best,
Manuel
