We Need a Dark Lord Rep!

[Pinion Minion]

The entire Monaco line gets no love in the rep market as we all know- but I would snap one of these up in a heartbeat if it were ever made!

I know they never will, either, but I would snatch up a McQueen version. Doesn't need to be perfect, but the DHGate one I have needs ozempic to lose 10 pounds.

 

[Pinion Minion]

I guess the Asian market is just not interested in Monacos. It's real shame I think there is an untapped market there.

 

[mclarendude]

Absolutely.

I think that the rep market did a horrible miss in not investing in repping the Dubois-Depraz chrono module for the 2892. They could had done so many reps with it, Monaco and Speedmaster reduced included.

I have this quartz one that is not terrible, but lots of room for improvement:

14.9mm thick

I don't think Tag that popular in Asia, I agree. When I visited HK I didn't see many Tag stores, nor in second hand did they sell Tags, I only saw Aquaracers. I think Longines Hydroconquest/Longines dominates that price point so Tag has no breathing room there. A shame but yeah.

It is funny they pump out Formula 1, Aquaracer and a few other Tag Heuer model reps but yeah the Monaco which is arguably the most iconic model gets no love
