Trying to find an original TAG Monaco

sjm · Post by **sjm** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 6:37 pm

I know there are some keen watch enthusiasts on here, so hope someone can help me with this. Can anyone recommend a good used watch seller pls? Im especially keen on finding an original TAG Monaco 'Steve McQueen'. I know there is a new one out now, but I'm curious to see what I'd have to pay to get an original.

Many thanks

Thanks for the links. Heuerboy seems to have two for sale, so have sent an email to check the price. The new ones are just over £6k, but would prefer an original - depending on price...!!!

the daytona looks a bit lumpy at £7500... you blink and they go up a grand.... not even a Zenith... - anyone know ... are they 'firm' prices or 'guides'?

... good news if you've got one I suppose.

The key is if you're after an original Heuer Monaco

as on the Heuer Boy site

or a TAG Heuer Monaco reissue (of which there are various models)

From the first edition CS2110

I've got on of the first blue faced Monaco reissues.

There is a guy on ebay from Eastern Europe who does a lovely line in classic watches...

you can try www.onthedash.com... forum for heuer lovers.

chrono24.com.

My advice forget the new one it may be calibre 12 but its simply not worth the cash and will lose money.

An original cal 12 blue face monaco will be upto 6k, depends on condition
An original cal 12 grey face monaco will be upto 5k.
An original 73663.. three register monaco will be upto 4k grey or blue face.

Of course id sell you mt grey face monaco if you'd like.. ive nearly completed my set now and have one spare

the mcqueen watch is the 1133b - I got mine from juergen at classic heuer de - he also usually brings a few to his stall at revival - if you can wait - very good bloke to deal with - Steve

Thanks all. The one on heuerboy is about £6k, which seems consistent with a couple of tips on here. I'm tempted to wait until the Revival now. Will check the other links - thanks again

Next bit - can anyone lend me £6k at good rates pls?
