I'll admit, I wasn't a big fan of the Monaco. Before you burn me at the stake, I think I've come around to loving it.

My Heuer journey began with what I knew, and that was and still is divers. But being part of this lil community has opened up a love for other Heuer watches, like the Autavias and other mechanical marvels. I appreciate other models, but don't like them. Take the Silverstone - beautiful watch, but I can't stand it. MAybe in years to come it'll be one of my favourites, who knows.

Anyway, back to the Monaco. Yep, this big ugly square thing that everyone goes on about has started to draw me in. It's starting to look beautiful. Although the brain-washing of this site has lead me to believe that it comes with a multi coloured friendship bracelet, a glass of cognac and a cigar ;0)
So, I'm thinking about selling off a few from my collection to make room for one. There is one thing that gets in the way - the new soon to be released Monaco Grey LE (badged Heuer, not TAG Heuer)... I think it's gorgeous, but it's not vintage. This leads me on further, it's not vintage, so why not consider the first (cw2113) TAG Heuer blue 'Mcqueen' Monaco, which could be had for $2000ish (which would allow some funds to be spent on cognac/cigars, getting a nice tan and a colourful bracelet) - I'm seriously considering it... is this a bad thing?
