chocolate & grape jelly
In Response To: Monaco 1533b ()

Seeing your dial makes the case for the purple dial being a faded blue dial a bit stronger.

Here is a link to a comparison shot between my two 1533s.

Even if it is faded, with the price being paid for faded "chocolate" speedmasters in the recent anitquorum omega auction, then maybe these monacos have value.

You all laugh now, but when a "Grapejelly" Monaco sells for $25,000 in HeuerMania 2009 it won't be so funny....

BTW, what is the forum's view on 1533 dials in a case marked 1133. Is this an indication of put together or more like the usual Heuer chaos? One of my 1533s also has an 1133 case.
