Thanks Rich, I love the blue variant also and know exactly what you mean regarding the clean line of the dial.

I'll take some better pictures in the next week or so and email some over for you.

regards

: Hey mate

: Myself and Paul G were actually talking about this piece earlier
: this week disccusing value and condition...and the seller.

: I thought the piece was in superb condition and can only echo that
: from your pictures...what a lovely dial :-)

: Having just become the proud owner of an equally rare blue variant
: (picture below) i can say there is something special about these
: dials, certainly the lack of writing due to no "automatic
: chronograph" makes for a cleaner design. I love mine and
: actually only realised when i received it that the hands are
: slightly smaller than on a traditional automatic Monaco
: variant...

: So great story, it's great to see another rare vintage piece come
: to the UK (from Canada) and when you have some time please take
: a head on dial shot so i can update the website...it needs a
: 74033g page for the "In Focus" section and that's the
: first one i have seen with original hands on so far.

: I reckon we have seen less than 5 of each of these so far (can you
: confirm Jeff?) and whilst rarity does not always make value i'd
: value it at or slightly above the value of a 1133 variant in
: similar condition. Certainly i paid more for mine than i have
: paid for a 1133b before.

: Well done!
