·Here's a catch & release for me - I've had it a few months and I really like it, but I prefer the blue dialled Monaco so if I want to wear a slab on my wrist, that one gets the nod.
This is a limited-edition TAG Heuer Monaco watch; branded simply "Heuer" - it was a limited edition model produced to celebrate 150 years of the Heuer brand. There were only 1860 issued watches (as Heuer was formed in 1860...) - see more info on Calibre 11.
This particular watch is hardly worn - it's used, but visually it looks almost pristine - under a loupe or a macro lens, you'll spot some slight signs of wear, but it's been worn a handful of times (and annoyingly, some of my photos seem to have a few little bits of fluff that might look like scratches - they're not).
It is numbered 0217 / 1860, and comes with inner/outer box, all papers and the guarantee card completed at sale in 2015. The perforated leather strap & Heuer deployant buckle are in very good condition, and in the time I've had it, I've never worn the watch on that strap (as I have a Corfam type one that I put it on from day 1).
TAG Heuer released the blue-dialled CAW211A in 2009, a commemorative "Steve McQueen" 40 year anniversary of the Monaco, reminiscent of the original blue Monaco 1133B from 1969. Here's one I had previously.
There was also a grey-dialled 1133G in the early 1970s (see the Hodinkee "Week on the Wrist" article) and this grey-dialled CAW211B is on the same lines - it's a slightly larger case (39mm vs 38mm) when compared with the CAW211A, but the hands are the same and the dial is pretty much the same, albeit a different colour.
TAG Heuer brought out a production - CAW211P - version of the blue-dialled Steve McQueen watch (branded Heuer again, though with slightly different hands and dial printing) but there has not been a modern grey production version. So; if you want a grey-dialled Monaco (and they are really cool), you either need to drop a fortune on a 1133G or pick up one of these modern limited edition watches.
My asking price is a solid £3,150, including delivery to the UK. PayPal fees and/or international delivery will be at your expense. I'm near London most of the time so can happily do face to face transactions.
To make sure you're happy, I'll give you a grace period of a week to return the watch to me for a refund, if for any reason you decide it's not for you.
I'll be in the US on w/c 23 April so might be able to do a deal there - try me if you're interested. I'm open to offers, but this is a very fair price for a watch of this rarity and in this condition and if I sold it for less, I'd be quite out of pocket so the man-maths calculator would dictate that I just keep it. I've reduced the price a couple of times now and this is the lowest I can go, or I'll just put it away again.
Here it is looking great on the Corfam strap (not part of the sale);
and here it is next to its later, non-limited edition brother, the blue & white CAW211P (for which I found a NOS Heuer Silverstone bracelet that it stays on most of the time):
