Glad He Decided on a Monaco in Le Mans
In Response To: king of cool and his submariner *NM* *PIC* ()


It's just a good thing that he decided to wear a Monaco in Le Mans. If he had worn a Rolex or an Omega in Le Mans, do we think that the Monaco:

  • would have been as succesful anyway?
  • would have been about as collectible as the Temporada?
  • would have been somewhere between these two extremes?

It's interesting how McQueen's decision to wear the Monaco contributed to the future of Heuer and the Monaco, even to this day. Of course, we should also give Heuer some credit for the assoication with McQueen. In the right place at the right time!!
