Ha ha ha, so true. On the other hand, in ten years we will look back and realize we were actually doing pretty good. 😉

It was the last Monaco produced by Heuer before TAG bought the company. It was Heuer's last attempt to revive the Monaco model line.

The black Monaco is one rare Heuer, very rare indeed.

👍 I assume u r born in the 70's? Perfect for rolex collecting. When u r born a decade before, it can get very expensive. 😂

It is OK - sundials re more like eras so you do not need the exact year.

Oh yes! 1978 to be exact. But the prices are catching up. Looking to add a 5513 and they are starting to become expensive!

A very early matte meters first from 1966. It has a fat case, incredible chamfers, and an excellent dial. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

Beautiful!

You should add a Simpson as well from 1966 and one can be your evil twin watch!
