I've got one of those.

Limited to 4000 and according to the Tag store in Westfield last week, they still get customers asking to buy them. I've also got a standard black Monaco amongst others but this one spends the most time on my wrist.

I've had no problems with mine.

The price looks a little high though. I would expect £2300/£2400 max.

When you said vintage I thought you meant pre-Tag days, as in a Heuer.

Does anyone else feel it is rather cheeky that Tag have now dropped the "Tag" on some of their re-release models? It seems to cheapen the originals to me.

I've got this specific Monaco bought it from new as soon as it was released, a very nice watch.

As said by an earlier poster; price seems a little high but that's pretty usual for that seller (good though they are) and I would agree with the previous quote of £2300 - £2400.

However this version does seem to be on a slow buring upward trend where value is concerned (they were £2400 new and are now routinely back up to that price point again) so pricing is a difficult subject and I have seen several others advertised at this price and more. What they sell for is of course a different matter potentially.

There is only ever a small number of this specific Moncao for sale at any given time, anywhere in the world. So I'm not sure how much discount can be worked in to one now.

Go for it, I have two Monaco special editions, love them both.

They feel special whe you wear it, and they do get noticed.

Being a shrinking violet, this sometimes upsets me. (Not)
