Hey all, don't seem to be able to find a good quality rep of the Monaco.

Appreciate any help...

I'm on the same boat. I think due to movement complications it's not accurately repable.

None of the reps are even close.

Obviously the crown is on the wrong side the dials are wrong and the case size is both too big and too thick. Oh.. and they're all quartz.

Are the Monaco reps really that bad? I ordered one from TS Station and I know it doesn't look terribly authentic compared to a gen, but does it at least justify the roughly $140 price tag?

From what I've seen none even have the correct wording on the dial...if the can't get easy part right I'm not sure about everything else.

Mine came from Stan. I absolutely love it. Yes the crown is on the wrong side and it doesn’t say automatic on the face. It does have the Sekio VK64 mecaquartz movement. The chronograph has a sweeping hand like a mechanical. It has the look and feel of high quality. I’ll take that all day long because I can’t afford a real one. I have changed out the strap for that Steve McQueen look.

Did you post a review and pics? I'd like to see the watch :)

I did. I think I did it in the right place. My pictures are crappy. I need to do better pics.

If they could even make a quartz rep accurate on the outside they would fly off the shelves.
