Re: Monaco 1133B Transitional: Quick, Dark and Dirty

: Congratulations Jeff!!

: This seems to be a real beauty. The more I see these "Squared
: Hands" Monaco's...the more I like them!

I am also liking the squared hands; I will need to do the side-by-side comparison, with a normal Monaco 1133B, but there is something very elegant about these hands. The polished squared hands do well with the markers . . . which are also polished and squared!!

: Has this dial also the "metallic" finish?? Difficult to
: see in your picture...

Metallic blue, indeed. I will need to take some better photos over the weekend. This paint is very pretty.

: One more question...what serial does it have (only the first three
: digits will be OK ofcourse...)...

I will need to remove the strap, to inspect the serial number; if they are there, then they do not seem very prominent. This will be part of the weekend review!!

: Groetjes,
: Abel.

And a super weekend to you and all our readers!!

And the message here is to keep searching for these nice ones. This one was a late-night find, listed by a dealer that I had never heard of . . . the fun is in the hunt!!

Jeff
