I'm having a dilemma. I already own a Monaco (WW2110) and whilst I like it, I'm not sure if I love it. It's a beautiful looking watch, but maybe a bit too removed from the originals, a bit too 'refined' if you know what I mean. A CS2110 has come into my possession, it needs a new plexi, and a new strap, but it's the Heuer original re-issue. Closer to the original version (or at least as close as I'm gonna get without shelling out £4k) Two questions... 1. How does everyone else feel about the evolution of the Monaco? It certainly has a distinctive look, (I'm no Steve McQueen wannabe, chasing ever more expensive and slightly more authentic re-issues) but are the designers chasing their tail a bit too much? 2. Is the CS2110 something that is worth holding onto over the WW2110? I like them both, but for different reasons. But I can't hold onto both, so which would you guys keep? Rob

I got this some days ago. The Crystal was a little "foggy" inside, so yesterday I took the watch apart, and cleaned the Crystel inside. Now it looks like this:

Hey Everyone I recently bought a lovely gen Monaco (Calibre 6, non-chrono, black face, seconds at 6) and I love it. Problem is the guy who owned it previously didn't care for it the way it should have been cared for. He obviously thought that a lovely crocodile strap should be worn in the shower, gone swimming with and never fed. The result is that it has dulled significantly. Not everywhere, just patchy dull. I'd like to restore the original leather sheen, but I have a feeling that no amount of Beeswax is gonna bring back the lustre, it looks like patches of very matt leather. I had thought of resealing it with something like Eco-Flo Satin Sheen or Super Sheen. Anyone have any experience of dealing with a seriously dulled strap, or any experience of the above products? Rob

Hey Everyone I've an opportunity to buy a gen(?) Monaco Calibre 6. It's going for £600, has a few scratches to the SS, but the crystal looks clear. I'm buying it from a shop, so I can return it if I'm not happy. There isn't any box or paperwork, so I was wondering if there was any chance it was a rep. I know the chronographs are difficult to rep, but as this is a non-chrono, what are the chances it is legit? I havent seen any of these on ADs, but it is a 2005 model, so maybe they don't rep them any more. Advice please Pic below

Hi all, I'm looking for a good value rep black leather / croc strap and deployant clasp for my Monaco. Failing a decent rep, an unbranded one would do - 20mm size. Any pointers really appreciated. Paul
