Totally inconsistent with any other original Monaco in so many ways, i have no doubt they did not start out life via Heuer, but rather later parts bin builds.

My 2p worth..
: Putting the dial to one side for a second. The hands are completely
: wrong. Look at them, they are way too short.. There is no
: crystal gasket seal. This watch has been worked on heavily. How
: did the original hands disappear, along with the gasket.

: Heuer would not have done this, an independent watchmaker somewhere
: has sourced & fitted the incorrect hands. If the watch was
: in a bad way - bad enough for the hands to need replacing, then
: there is no way on earth that is the original dial.. it is
: pristine.

: It doesn't add up.

: Add to this these catalogue pages from JAPAN, the Monacos listed
: here don't differ from the standard Monacos sold elsewhere in
: the world.
