My Tag Heuer Monaco 40th Anniversary Edition Watch Article On AskMen.com

A beautiful piece. The tank design is masculine (McQueen says it all), but attractive enough for a female wrist(pearl face with diamond trim). If you have the disposable income you'll never regret this purchase. How many things can you say that about, Hmm?

Hi Guys, its a beautiful watch and I am lucky enough to get one too. Hurrah!

The 40th anniversary Monaco is TAG's acknowledgement that it's "avant garde" design ethos pales to the classic and timeless styles of the original Heuer's. Had TAG not revived the original Heuer designed models of the wildly popular "Classic Series" (re-introduced in the 90's),this wildly overpriced re-issue would not exist. (Nor likely would the company itself). FACT

The Tag Monaco was my first watch purchase, with the proceeds from my first "big gig". The uniqueness of its pedigree and design make it truly stand out amongst the rote and ubiquitous Rolex style. This particular Monaco is a dead-ringer for the original 60s model, and the current model is practically the same (adding the Tag, keeping an acrylic crystal, red accents).
For $10k, this is obviously purely a collectors piece, but what is the news on the "replacement" Monaco also featured this year, with Calibre 12 and sapphire crystal?
