We’re on a similar page Peter! I’ve had this in mind for a few years. But guess what? Today I bought a Steve McQueen icon watch. Not the Monaco, but the Hanhart 417 ES 1954 tribute!😱🤣 It’s actually as close to the original Steve wore in East Germany during his bike racing days! Anyway brother enjoy your Monaco!😎 👏🏻

The Monaco, in the blue dial is also have on my 'got to get' list. It's iconic, stylis and timeless. And your Omega is awsome, and i like the bracelet. Coll watches, and keep 'em comming. 🙂

The icon status and mystique of the Monaco grabbed my attention in the earlier days of my collecting journey. While I eventually realized this would not be a watch for me, I still find this as a watch to be appreciated for its story. That's one part of this hobby I really enjoy, that you don't have to own every watch to enjoy every story. It would be kind of boring if everyone had the same story to tell over and over again. What's more, you do tell your story well, Pete! Always enjoy watching 🙂

Hello Peter, I really enjoy your view on watches. Also, when I opened this video I was set aback that it is a Monaco. I have had my eye on this watch for about two years. You are so correct about you wear your watches that suit you. In the beginning I made the mistake of purchasing 'popular'and they sat in my watchbox or I flipped them for a loss. No more, I buy what I like, the thing that has held me back is that I have a self imposed limit on what I will spend on a single watch but I will purchase a Monaco soon any way. In the last few months my purchases have been a Longines big eye, a Tissot prx auto and a seiko 1964 limited. I have no regrets but I could have purchased the Monaco instead. Lastly, the Monaco is a little untraditional but at the same time very handsome and it has aged very will. Thank you so much for your reviews and insight.

I think the caliber 11 is the best by far. That’s the one I’d go for if I decided to get another Tag Heuer. I think it is more authentic to the movie. It doesn’t have the word Tag on it either, just Heuer. A tad overpriced around £5k. More expensive than an OP. On a positive note, it’s an icon, instantly recognisable, and I have toyed for a while pulling the trigger on this one…

The ultimate retro racing watch. I think Max Verstappen has one

Always Buy what You Love. Cool Watch !!!

Isn’t this the reason why we‘re spending thousands of € on wrist watches - because it these mechanical wonders on the wrist just makes us happy? Great video and BTW I love my Tag Heuer, too 👍

Well said… “it speaks to me” that’s what’s matters… price clouds the hell out of judgment

Always loved this watch and one of the only Heuer's I'd buy. You made a very nice pick-up. Also, LeMans is a great flick. Wonderful racing movie, up there with Rush, 1, and Ford vs Ferrari as the great race flicks.

That's a beautiful watch. Congratulations!

Great video. Have the same watch with alligator leather dark blue strap.

My two favorite watches are the TAG Heuer Monaco and the Bell and Ross BR03. So I understand liking unpopular watches.

Probably my next purchase -but actually for me it's the Walter White watch.

lovely colorations on this . the blue sundial and red hands work so well. i have the silver dial in the light its almost white in colour. very nice time keeper, i dont look at the time im looking at the watch 😛

Have loved the Monaco since I saw that movie too and will buy one day. Until then my Certina DS Podium Square will have to suffice.

100% agree with everything you said Peter. I’ve always wanted to own one of these because of Steve McQueen and the movie. I heard a story about him and his first motorcycle. He bought an Indian ( I believe it was a Scout) cycle and his girlfriend didn’t like it. Instead of selling the motorcycle he broke up with her now that IMO is a smart man.

Beautiful watch an icon a legendary timepiece! I prefer the dark lord monaco imo that's one of the most stunningly crafted watch tag heur has ever made😮

Good on ya! I had my eye on that one many years ago - but I'm too cheap!

A brilliant personal watch pick! I've no qualms in purchasing a TAG Heuer. 1) One was my first entry level luxury purchase many many years ago. Loved that watch. Too bad I somehow lost it. 2) They have a lot of cool models. Primarily I like their chronographs, been a fan of the Autavia and Carrera lines. But, I have to admit I have been finding their newer Aquaracers pretty enticing, as well.

I feel I may have took it off during the work and somehow got lost in the refuse and tossed out. I've looked into buying a used one of the exact same model. But, the price they are at, even for a quartz, didn't seem worth it.. and most I've found on eBay seem to be fairly beaten up examples. Anyways...

I'm jealous. At this time TVs were only just becoming popular. Amazing to think now that only by the late 60s were they common place in the home and I read the square case designs from many watch brands were cashing in on their popularity. Basically to look like a little TV on your wrist.

This one has to rank high on the "wrist presence" scale - it's substantial, but not over the top for your size wrist. Square, but the bow outward on each side softens it up just enough.

Great watch Pete, I don't get why tag heuer get all the hate. In the 80s they were considered one of the top brands .

I've just purchased a black bay s and g , the black face one, and although it's a bit slab sided, it will look fine on my 7 and a half inch wrist.

Hi Pete, Back in about 2010 I was saving up for a Monaco. Just before I managed to get the money together to buy the watch a close friend beat me to the pip, I bought a Carrera instead. That was a mistake I've regretted. I still have the Carrera but can't remember the last time I wore It.. Lovely watch but I would have paid the extra for the Cal11. I think you can buy one without the Tag on the dial.

@@PeterKotsa I could never understand why TAG had to put their brand on the dial of the watch. Heuver has so much history and the logo is so iconic. If they had to put their brand on the watches they should have put it on the case back. Another watch I regret not buying was the 2016 ? Reissue of the Autavia. I can remember seeing the two watches in a independent watch shop in my home town. I think they was about £1800 rrp back then. I was renovating my home back then so I never pulled the trigger. I did stop and drool at them every time I walked past the shop. I wouldn't pay over £3000 for one now.. I must say I think TAG have ruined the brand over the years.
