If you refer to the "true" 1969 Transitional 1133G, with square plain steel hands then "we" think that it was a grey dial/grey subs. The brochure pictures show a grey/grey with blue lume and blue lume teel hands. There may or may not have been any sold, we have not seen any surface...but i would imagine that if there were any, the hands may have been re-used on the more collectible and valuable 1133b trans and chronomatic models, at least this is a real possibility.

It would be great to turn up a true 1133G with original trans hands on them, again we would expect a serial number of 157xxx ideally. Of course plenty of Monacos have ended up one way or another in cases other than the ones they started out in originally, so this muddies the waters to some degree...

Hope that helps
