The ebay link i include in this note has a Monaco 1133B with different hands. I know that some of the earlier "Transitional" Monaco's had the more simple hands but i'm not sure about this one. The hole on the hour & minute hands where lume once proudly lived, seems to be a bit wider in the OTD reference photo's. One other point strikes me as strange, if it is indeed one of the earlier Transitional Monaco's why is it wearing a bracelet i normally associate with the later Monaco's (aka Silverstone style ) instead of the narrower 5 brick style bracelet.

Either way, i think a good purchase. Clearly in need of a little TLC but an easy fix for a nice watch with a genuine long time owner history.
Congratulations if it was any one from the forum that won this.
