Saw this whilst away in NYC and put a speculative bid in (so was probably 2nd in line) knowing it was very early serial and auction house confirmed dial had no scratches, only on plexi, and sure enough condition is as expected, very very nice.

You know how much I love these trannies, the glossy dial is so spectacular, especially so with creamy original lume, to me it is the best looking Monaco, Chronomatic might be rarer, but it's these I keep being drawn back to...so I'm very glad it went to you Andy, make sure you keep this one ;)
