Tag would as a matter of course change the hands on it for the same hands (if they have them in stock), why would they replace with different hands? I would suggest (as i said before) that we will never know for sure, but if these were correct hands for a 1133G with black subs then we would see more of them in my opinion.

So we can have opinions but i doubt we will never know for sure, you can have one opinion, i could have another and 3 different people may think something else. In the end all that matters is they look good on the watch and you like them. However as we never see these hands in any literature (relating to Monacos) i think it impossible to know that they are special transitional hands.

All i can say is that i'd rather listen to Derek or to Hans (people who actually were about and handling many Monacos through the 70s and 80s) than listen to Tag Heuer Switzerland who as i say have already authenticated Monacos with re-dials...as being original. I'd respectfually suggest that Derek and Hans are the experts and that perhaps TH in 2010 are not about 1970s pieces.

Does it really matter though? You love your watch (and so do i) and it is likely it can never be proved one way or the other...

PS When they replaced the hands ar service did they replace the second hand? I ask as it is service hand (it is longer than the original Monaco second hand...(also have you a picture of your old hands on your watch i'm interested ot see the original second hand)
