I've always liked these. Does anyone have an opinion on the price of this bearing in mind that it comes with a 12 month warranty?

Thanks

Seems a reasonable price, I bought a PVD'd version of that watch from Heuerboy 2 years ago for £1700.

Run pretty much faultlessly so far. Does run a wee bit quick, but then you can turn up early for meetings and admire your nice watch. biggrin

I've got a mate with a Carrera who frequently wants to chop my hand off and nick it off my wrist. I can only assume this means he likes it too.

I paid £1450 for mine 2 years ago from Blowers. The same watch (i.e. just the Heuer logo) all boxes and papers and a new strap - case in need of polish, but movement serviced. If they're now worth that, terrific.

I had the same dilemma as you, recently. I decided to go for a Monaco LE (vintage) and absolutely love it. It's Heuer branded as well, which is always favourable.

I'm not sure about the brown strap though, just doesnt suit it...but that's just my opinion.
I'd say go for it!

The last time I looked they were going about £1700-£1800 ish pre-owned. I think they're a nice watch although they do seem to sit higher on the wrist than I anticpated. But then so does my Carerra.

I do like those.

But old > new in this instance IMO.

Looks lovely & the price is good.

I went for the blue faced McQueen jobby, feels great to wear & I love the motorsport connection, spot on.

I bought my Heuer branded Monaco about 7 years ago from Watches.co.uk.

It's a great timepiece and personally I do not think the style will ever date.

It's nice to see their value is going up.

How much for a classic one versus modern?

Or a link?

Must say it looks a bit pricey to me. The last few on TZ-UK seem to have sold around the £1200 mark.

I'm surprised these re-issues are going up in value. Tag have these for sale every year as re-issue limited editions.

Are the early re-issues sold in the later 90's/early 2000's the more sought after than the later models?
