Yeah, only if it did not say "TAG" above Heuer.

Cool, yes. But also ugly.

I imagine it's ungodly expensive as well. . .

Wayne,
This watch is H U G E in realife. I strongly recommend that you go try one on & see if you really wantto attract that much attention...

If you want to see huge, take a look at the new Breitling Bentley series. Picked one of those up last time on the road and its simply massive. Nice looking but need to go to the gym to work up the muscles in the left arm to wear it.

I like it...

But it probably cost more than I paid for my 944

Those are great watches, if you can find one you should get it. The look cool, I tried to buy one last year and couldn't find any. So, I got the other model instead and really like it.

I strongly dislike the latest trend toward large square watches. Looks like a metrosexual thing.

I love the Monaco, but it is a large watch. Might be problematic to wear day to day.

I guess it's been a trend for awhile. Maybe before the term "metrosexual" was coined.

That's a good looking watch Wayne and probably not a bad investment.

Well i suspect that to a lot of people it's because for $30 bucks you can buy a watch that to 99% of people looks 'real' upon cursory examination. I buy them because they look good and they're cheap. When the finish wears i simply toss the old one, and buy a new one for $30. If i lose one, or one gets scratched or whatever, i don't care, i just get a new one.

I myself have never understood why people will pay $5k for a watch.

So you are trying to impress someone with the fake.

So why not buy a good Seiko instead, they look good. And not expensive.
