Are we ever going to see a GOOD Monaco?

[jb]

Square watches are not normally my thing, but I want a GOOD, blue face, Steve McQueen, Heuer Monaco rep REALLY bad!

AND NO QUARTZ!!!

 

[vdubpower]

a blue face or limt edt dial would be fantastic
we need to sort out how we can get this done

Good luck bulk buying 2894 movements. :O

Seconds at three reps will never be made as the 2894s are simply too damned expensive.

Asian Movement...?

 

[piratedzeus]

Asian Movement...?

I don't think any exist. I'm certain none exist in the right size.

Working chronos? Seconds at three? Quartz.

I know. But they also created the secs @ 6... so why no secs @ 3?

DOES it have Working chronos? Seconds at three?

 

[pugwash]

How reliable is seconds-at-six? How much thicker did they have to make it? Where did the datewheel go?

The 2894 is a slim movement with date. If you add the transfer wheels to the already too thick 7750, you would lose the date and make it even thicker.

 

[jb]

I wouldn't even care if the subdials were switches.

 

[piratedzeus]

Would prefer quartz over that...

 

[vdubpower]

for gods sake the chinese can replicate anything pretty much 1 to 1. i know for sure my timewalker is spot on to the gen. so why the hey cant they just rep that movement. lets get this project going

 

[Panerino]

I have one with non-working chronos....it's pretty damn accurate, blue dial....nice heavy constuction...I think it's an Asian movement.....bracelet is great too.....can't post pics right now because I'm at work...PM me for the email of the dealer..... :wink: :wink:

Monaco

there are some nice looking reps available but they are either quartz or have faux chronos

there are a few listed in CQout.com the european auction site

there are a few with just seconds at 6 ie not chronos which I believe are close to the gen.\

if anyone finds better, i would be interested as well as this has been one of my favorite watches for a while

[Panerino]

Mine has faux chronos....but who cares :wink:

 

[ken1]

i'd rather have it have quartz movement than faux chronos. what if someone decides to ask you to see the timing function? the for sure tell in a chrono watch is if the chronos work or not.

 

[Panerino]

but the second hand doesn't sweep....without someone asking....IMO

 

[ken1]

there are some quartz chronos that sweep. ive seen one in seikos but not sure of the battery life or if any other manufacturers make them.

:shock:

There are no quartz movements that sweep the second hand, apart experimental stepper motor ones that chewed through batteries. The nearest is the Spring Drive, but it's not really quartz or cheap.
