1. I'm no fan of chronographs;
2. I'm no fan of square cases;
3. I'm no fan of date windows;

... ... so, how the hell is it that I think that looks bloody gorgeous ?
I've heard of two negatives making a positive, but three ?

All nonsense aside: Congratulations. That is a seriously good looking piece.

My RGM Model 22 Deck Watch has no less than four deal breakers on it and yet I love that watch. My theory is that they all cancel each other out. Some kind of negative balance is achieved.

Going with the new arrival Monaco (which arrived yesterday evening). Absolutely lovin' it and wonder what took me so long!

Q&D indoor pic since it's still dark outside (noticed the crown is still in the date set position...)

Bloody gorgeous is about right!

I don't need another square watch
I don't need another chronograph
I don't need another blue dial
I don't need yet another brand
I don't need another square chronograph with blue dial and red hands - I already have one. But sheesh, that thing is pretty...

The Monaco is the first watch I ever noticed, but I am safe. I've tried it on and it doesn't work on my wrist.

Mine neither. A friend has several (vintage and reissue) and I can’t take to them at all. He half confessed that he had them because he’s a Heuer completist - and because he’s a dealer, marking them up and moving them on.

First watch I learnt to service, and it has plenty of evidence of my learning on the movement. I’ve improved my handling - and my screwdrivers - since then!

Congratulations on the new arrival. It's lovely.

Thanks Henry. I'm liking this one more than even I thought I would!

Thanks for the kind words! The Monaco design is certainly unique, and that's one of the things I'm really enjoying about it.

The square case was the aspect I was most concerned about with the Monaco, but I must say, the 38mm x 38mm case really works great on my wrist (I'm right in the 7.125"-7.25" [181mm-184mm] wrist size).

Mine neither. A friend has several (vintage and reissue) and I can’t take to them at all. He half confessed that he had them because he’s a Heuer completist - and because he’s a dealer, marking them up and moving them on.

Well Alan, I'm definitely not a Heuer completist (this is my first and only one), but I must say I've always drooled over the Monaco, enjoyed the historical connection with racing, and the unique design.
I'm actually very surprised by this one... I actually love it in the flesh more than I've loved it in photos, go figure!


Thanks again for all the kind words everyone!
