Tag Monaco 69

[Dani]

What you thnk?

Has it got the digi works in the back?

Quite, got a pic of it flipped?

OK my opinion then....

+ Build quality looks good

+ Dial looks ok

- Red second hand screams "NOOooooooooo"

- Rubber strap - see line above

But then, it's not a REAL Monaco unless it is a chrono

*mutters something about modern abominations and urinating on the heritage of Heuer etc.*

I have the same 69 and it is the best one out there rigth now. By "best" I do not mean accurate just the best of the bunch. Here are a few areas where the watch is not accurate:

- red second hand

- Ticking second hand (regular watch face is a automatic mechnical watch).

- screws at the four corners of the case front.

When the watch is flipped over to the digital side the non-accurate items are:

- the "Tag Heuer" label on the bottom right hand corner should be engraved in case,

- crown is more ornate than the orginal.

On the positive side the mechanism that allows the watch face to be flipped is good and the watch stays put and does not come loose out of the case.

There are version of this watch without the red second hand but they have other problems.

Of course you could just spend $650 and buy a genuine non-69er
