Love it or hate it.

I saw this awhile ago on TZ myself and fell in love but figured that it was some sort knockoff or something. What is odd is that I have never cared for the Monaco at all or square/rectangular watches. This is kind of strange because Steve McQueen and the movie LeMans are what sparked my interest in and now love of vintage Heuers. Anyway I think that this new dial looks great from the standpoint of being very bold in a classy sort of way (if that makes any sense). I also like it for its graphic qualities and last its association with Gulf racing livery. Another point I think is interesting the background color is white similar to the overalls that the drivers wore (like McQueen) as opposed to the light blue that I think most all of the cars were painted.

As for the limited edition thing I would agree in the fact that many �limited editions� from any company are nothing other than the marketing division looking for something new to promote and get people into the store/dealership. I also agree that almost the only true limited editions are those that are not marketed as such. Porsche like Tag also has a habit of doing that espeiscaly in the seventies and eighties.

So in the end I love it and hate it at the same time. I guess that means I�ll buy one used.
