50th anniversary Heuer Monaco

[John Rogers]

Remember the watch wasn't made for Steve McQueen but Jackie Ickx I think but Steve showed it very well with the "two finger salute" at the end

If you like the Monaco, you can find some of the different variants for relatively cheap on the secondary market.
Also, many references will appreciate nicely over time [/cough]Jim's Autavia[/cough].


I picked this one up several years back, and you can probably find them today for under $3k used (which is over 3x what I paid initially):

I would prefer a vintage Monaco.

I may take a look around and see if I can find one, I expected the price to be more like 10K for a used one without looking.

Gonna check my resources and see if I can find one.

I really like your Autavia. The thought of a vintage Monaco is appealing. Do you know any vintage watch dealers that can be trusted?
