safeharbor Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am new to the forum, and was crushed to learn that there was not a good rep of the Monaco (Limited Edition, to be exact), and this was the main reason for my interest! Just want to make sure that this model is still elusive as a quality Rep?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomic_doug Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 The main reason that it's an elusive rep is the movement. The gen's "Caliber 12" is just an ETA 2892 with a chrono module bolted on top, a Dubuis-Depraz module. (That module puts the subseconds at '3'.) Basically all automatic chrono reps use an A7750, which is far too thick for use in the relatively slim Monaco case. Until the rep makers can engineer a good copy of the chrono module for their surprisingly good A2892, no good Monacos will ever be seen.
