It's a watch I absolutely adore, but don't think I'd be able to carry off.
Iconic, as recent threads debated, is a term thrown around all too easily when we (or certainly PR departments of watch manufacturers) discuss timepieces, but this makes any "icons" list imho.
Enjoy buddy, I just hope that it doesn't starve some of your other watches of wrist time, always a risk when a grail of such standing is landed.
I think I must be the only here who doesn't like it much
I know it's a classic & a undoubtedly a quality watch but chronographs, square cases & blue dials never have, & probably never will, been my particular cup of gruel. Sorry to rain (a bit ) on your parade Colin - I hope you get many many years of enjoyment from it :thumbs_up:

Life would be pretty boring if we all had exactly the same taste. Not only that, we'd probably mostly die squabbling over the same lady
@JayDeep can hardly complain (and I don't think he would) about contrary opinions on his taste in watches -- he himself is adept at giving a "hard pass" (which I hope is clean) in his comments on others' acquisitions and interests, which I'm sure is not intended to be a put-down.
Big coincidence, I too have this watch, I am currently on holiday in Scotland and it is this watch (out of many that I have) that I have brought with me. Going to Edinburgh tomorrow and the Monaco will be worn proudly on my wrist.
Well done on the new watch Jay! As for me I'm still undecided about this watch, very much on the fence about it. I recognise that its very much an iconic watch and I very much respect that but I guess I'm just still undecided about it. What I do like about it is that you could clock this from a mile off and instantly recognise what it is! I like that in a watch!
Do you think if it wasnt a TAG or having the steve mcqueen connection people would still like it, its an honest question and not denigrating the watch at all. (question for all)
Iconic without McQueen or being Tag, no. Desirable, yes, because the look and design is phenomenal. But the same could be said about the Speedmaster if not the moon watch or Omega. I mean it's really not much of anything to think about really.
Yeah, I've decided I'm done trying these Grey Market dealers who lie about what they have "in stock"and then lie about delivery times. From now on, with higher end stuff, I'm buying AD only. Thanks!
Again, agreed with Camaro, but the rest can fall off a cliff as far as I'm concerned. The Silverstone is just odd,I don't hate it, but I do hate the crown at 9 o'clock with pushers at 2 and 4. Terrible balance to my eyes, runs it, as well as the rounded edges. Visually makes me shudder.
So my list is simple then...
1. Camaro
2. Monaco
