We've had this discussion before but I'll raise it again.

Was there a purple dial Monaco 1533 produced, or is this a faded blue dial. I can promise you there is no manipulation of the photo and the watches look completely different "in the metal".

I love my 1533P (ok, I made up that reference), it looks really cool.

I guess what you believes comes down to faith or facts. On this one I'll stick with faith....
