In Response To: 1133 Cal 11 1975 Heuer warranty repair note ()


I believe that there are five versions (and only five versions) of the Grey Monaco, as shown below. The 1133G can be very dark grey, and is sometimes called "charcoal" or "black" . . . but I do not believe that there is a true "Black" automatic Monaco. So people may call the "1133G" the "1133N" . . . I believe that they are the same versions of the same watch, perhaps some difference in the paint lots (or aging). We never see the 1133N in any catalog or price list, not that that proves anything.

of course, we know about the true Black PVD Monaco, a manual-wind version, Reference 74033.

: Doesn't this mean that a Monaco 1133N ( case no. 161816) has had
: its calibre changed unter warranty early 1975? Wouldn't this
: mean that the watch was most likely built after 1971 ( warranty

: Heuer's Chief Watchmaker in the old days who confirmed during
: our visit past May 2008 that the Monaco with all-grey dial ( so
