Tag Monaco - 100%. I've been looking at them myself lately. I love that vintage, blue-dialed Monaco. It's a classic.

Don't like the McQueen, and neither did SMcQ either - he only wore it for the movie, then put his Sub back on. The Tudor is a seriously good looking watch.

I do like the Monaco, but not for a daily.

Neither.

THe black bay is not an all rounder at all. It has a red bezel ... The Monaco isn't even close either. Both very nice watches but I wouldn't have them as one watch watches at all.

You want an all round watch ? The AP RO is a close as it comes if you ask me. 152022, 15300 or 15400 all work. The Patek Nautilus is a good option as well. Rolex Air king smooth bezel /Explorer I from the Rolex range. Could possibly get away with a smooth bezel DJ/DJII.

if only one, BB....plus, you can alternate strap, bracelet and nato to shake things up. the monaco is nice and has a great history, but, IMHO, it's not a "one and only" watch.

Black bay

The Monaco did look nice on Walter Whites wrist in Breaking Bad though.

I think he already went through both of these. One thing's certain, if you ever wanted to know about a particular watch, patek.wis is the man.

Although this is the only TAG watch that I actually love, the BB is simply too good. Get it!

Of the two, I'd go the BB, I love the distressed leather strap that comes with it, gives it a real retro look.

The Monaco I'd perhaps have as a second watch, but not as your primary daily.
