Cool Gulf Oil F1

I really like this. I like the Gulf Oil stuff...

Yep, nostalgic and awesome... I just picked up this Monaco Concept 24 this week:

Royster, does the rotor still have the misspelled 'Cenifugal' instead of Centrifugal? It's the only thing stopping me from getting a concept 24.

Sorry if you hadn't spotted that and it spoils it for you

Hey Bonesey, Yep.. Cenifugal System... it's a "special" force that acts soley on this model watch! Writing is so small I can hardly see it and it's mostly facing the back of my wrist :facepalm:

I actually didn't notice it 'til you pointed it out. THANKS!! I still love this watch, though. As it is basically a fantasy watch based on a prototype (to my understanding), it just adds to the mystique! I get so many positive reactions to this watch.

 

[Bonesey]

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a stunning watch. I've been waiting vainly to see if they will update it. When I noticed it on the rotor i was like :facepalm::lolcina:

Anyway, I still think it's a cracking watch

I am also in the club waiting for an update. Timesshop have got one without the spelling mistake, but the gulf colours are slightly off, if it wasn't for this it would be a lot closer to the gen.

Tried a gen version of this recently, the tag heuer engraving has been dropped, pity I quite liked that on the concept, not that it affects me as I'm not likely to find money to acquire one.

markh, is that a gen you posted? If so, can you provide a link to where you saw this for sale?

 

[elmataplata]

Doesnt look gen, it doesnt have the white dots between the dates.

The watch is due out in the fall

Must admit i don't really like it. Bezel crenellations look ugly and I have NFI what's going on with those CG's. Monaco with Gulf colours, sexeh... this, not so much.
