Don't worry I'm not about to sell off bits of my collection to fund one - just showing the value in watch terms of the new Monaco (which I still do like!).
Also around the price of 2 nice Sifferts, or 13 red Automatic boxes...
Looks like all of the added publicity in car/lifestyle magazines etc is boosting vintage Monaco prices though and making nice ones for sale pretty hard to find right now.
Or maybe its just coincidence...
Incidentally, would be interesting to know how many original 1133s there are still kicking about these days.
Anyone know how many were made?
I've got 3, lowest Serial No 158020, highest 161423.

: Unfortunately, the watch could well well less than USD10,000 in the
: US yet still cost STG6500 in the UK. Tag- and everyone else-
: don't price the same all over the world and just adjust for
: currency. The UK is notoriously expensive. When I lived there
: (albeit two years ago- and the world has changed), a new Tag
: Heuer Autavia cost around STG2000 (A$5000)- yet I could buy the
: same watch new in Australia for A$2500-3000.

: The bottom line is (or was), you are better off jumping on a plane
: to New York, booking yourself into a nice hotel, drop into a
: Steakhouse and buy your new Tag at a US AD for about the same
: price as buying from your local UK AD.

: Now, the drop in the sterling would have changed this equation, but
: my point is you shouldn't expect prices to make logical sense!!
