I love the Monaco; great to see so many together. I have 2; a limited edition (#21/100) they made for the Singapore Formula 1 race in 2010 (black face, white dials, with green hands and black alligator strap with green stitching). My other is an older blue dial with plexiglass; it’s much smaller and thinner than the more recent ones. The Monaco is such an iconic watch!
I'm the owner of a special edition, Gulf Monaco calibre 11. I do wear it, not every day but on days or evenings out, and get people asking me about it and the odd admiring glance. Wanted one since I was a kid and finally got one a couple of years ago as a gift to myself.
I'll go with the vibrant blue, but with the black racing strap... Then again the skeletonized one is badass! The more flat blue maybe looks the most "vintage", very cool as well. Gulf one only if I'm getting sponsorship from Gulf :) Honestly I love all of them but for now will have to stick with my Seiko SNKP23, of which my race mechanic asked "is that a Tag Heuer?" 😁
I like the lighter blue of the left-hand crown model, but would be happy with any of the blue ones over the skeleton model. I do prefer the blue strap, however, and love the striking lume pattern of the skeleton. A novel look, though they do appear oversized on your wrist (which is larger than mine)!
I own the Gulf model, but with the Heuer 02 movement; I noticed the one you are showing in the video now has the TH20 movement. Apparently they've started to phase the 02 out for the TH20, although the official website still lists the movement as a 02.
Thank you for the video. For me it is the blue-metallic Version with the caliber 02 with the TAG Heuer bracelet. I want a chrongraph which can track up to 12 hours not only 30 minutes. Gulf has not my favourite colour scheme.
The new skeleton Monaco is super nice. But “new” they’re not worth what they’re asking. $10k almost. Rolex money. Only way to purchase imho is used or grey market.
Hi Brad, I realise that I'm probably alone with this, but I do find square watches jarring to the senses. I'd go for a Carrera over these any time. To answer your question though, I'd choose the Gulf edition. Cheers, Bob 🍻
The Gulf is simply gorgeous
The so- called left hander is the iconic model hands down. Thanks for the comparison review!
Thanks for viewing!
Easy choice - Monaco Gulf edition 🙂
FALSE- Heuer Calibre 11
The left one is the Calbrie 11 Steve McQueen is the real deal must have in any watch collection
Gulf Monaco is iconic

They do wear pretty large.
The calibre 11 with the Gulf's blue sports strap, imo
