Monaco rep or gen?

What say ye, Tag experts?

Gen, there isn't a rep movement for the monaco, and the only reps are Quartz.

Right you are Bonesey

I've loved this watch since I was about 14 and my brother bought it for me last year. Now he's just been made redundant, I wonder if he wants it back :lol:

It baffles me how the Monaco, one of the most iconic watches ever made, has not yet been replicated correctly.

And yet we are inundated with perfect replica Armani/Gucci watches!

I saw a few movements on eBay that I was thinking about getting but wasn't sure if it would fit the dial. The movement is ETA 2892 movement with the Dubois Depraz*chrono module with 37 jewels but I wasn't sure if it would fit the quartz dial???

Is it because the seconds at 3pm is hard to replicate?

Would assume so, yes.

However, if I was in this business you could hire someone for the research and prototype and make that money back in a heartbeat with regular sales.

True. Having bought a bunch of reps before I got the gift, one of the appeals was that there are no decent reps of it, so I hope they don't rep it

Wow! That is so nice...I've been really putting my eye one those these days...how does it fit and feel?
Killer!

This may seem like a dumb question, but why is the seconds at 3 hard to rep in this case? Cant you flip a seconds at 9 movement and make the hands to essentially sit upside down on the subdials? Same for the main seconds hand. The date window is at 6 and that wouldnt matter since the date sits vertically - either way it will show correctly.

What am I missing?

Well the crown would be at the wrong side for a start.

Extremely comfortable to wear, but has enough heft to it as well. Tbh i don't wear it very much, as i cycle through my reps. I personally think it's pretty reasonably priced (if bouht from grey market) as far as gens go.

actually the crown on the original was on the left

If anyone can post pictures or pm me pictures that would be greatly appreciated

 

[seriph]
