Which TD is that from?

I can't remember, got it m2m, long time ago.

It's the Steve McQueen version. Just the Heuer Monaco, without the "tag"(he wore it way before the merger).

I see two on puretime, a $138 version with the Heuer logo on the dial and the other a $178 version with the Tag Heuer logo on the dial. The Tag version strangely reads Carrera calibre 16 in the search field so I found it while looking at Carrera's.

Tempted to buy the puretime $138 one as I want as close to the Steve McQueen and that only had the heuer on the face,gonna have to wait for the crown on the left hand,and as a right wristed user it would be a bonus.
Do you think that the one Hont is selling will be the same version as the puretime?
Should I wait a couple of weeks for the CNY backlog to be cleared?Or does it clear quite quickly?

This is a Gen?

The clue I believe is the crown on the right side. The original Monaco Heuer used a calibre 11 movement, which has the crown on the left. The newer TAG Heuer Monaco uses the Calibre 12 movement, which has the crown on the right. Since the model in the picture has the matte Heuer dial it should have the crown on the left. As far as I know, there are no reps with the crown on the left. Because of this the closest to gen in appearance is the TAG Heuer dial with the crown on the right.

TAG Heuer has a number of Monaco models currently, including the calibre 12 TAG Heuer dial with the crown on the right, and a Heuer dial calibre 11 reissue with the crown on the left. The reissue has the matte Heuer dial like the original, whereas the TAG Heuer dial has the glossier finish.
