You have to wear thes!!!
In Response To: Do I wear these Monacos or not ()

Hello John!

What a nice and humble addition to your collection ;-)

I must admit you have great taste...all these watches seem to be in a very collectable condition!

I like the 1533G the most of all Monaco's...probably because this model has got me started collecting Heuer watches in the first place. Also the PVD Monaco is a beast although I do not have one in my private collection....maybe one day???

Anyway, you have to wear all of them...don't leave them all the time in a banksafe. Enjoy these watches, enjoy life, wear them in good health! I wear all of my watches but won't deny that I'm very picky about when to wear a specific watch.

I ussually have only one "valuable" watch at home...the rest I keep in a banksafe. Since I have to visit my bank every three or four days that's not a big deal at all...

Best regards from Belgium,
Abel.

: Just thought I would share a few new additions to my collection.
: Thanks to Nic Green for selling me these fantastic watches which
: are even better in the flesh than I expected.

: I did think long & hard about the PVD Monaco as I wasnt sure
: how much I liked it compared to the traditional colours. Having
: just received it I have to say its a fantastic watch & even
: better than I thought it would be. The bright red/orange hands
: really stand out against the black surface.

: The down side is the price & a wife non to happy her shopping
: trips are curtailed.

: The big question is do I now risk wearing the PVD or keep it locked
: in a safe? I think my view is that watches are for wearing &
: what the hell if I get a few knocks over the years as it adds to
: the character & hopefully doesnt diminish the value too
: much.
