van winston niet? niet van de buis te slaan die knakker.

Vind de Monaco mooi, maar in zwart. Deze kleurtjes vind ik afdoen aan de stijl van het klokkie.
Als je goed zoekt moet je er voor 2K wel eentje kunnen vinden. Heb ooit met een zwarte in mijn handen gestaan voor 1250. Viel me om mijn pols toch tegen.

The TAG Heuer Monaco (originally Heuer Monaco) is a series of automatic chronograph wristwatch originally introduced by Heuer in 1969 in honour of the Monaco Grand Prix. The Monaco was revolutionary for being the first automatic as well as the first square cased chronograph. The Hollywood film star Steve McQueen used the watch to accessorize his character in the 1971 film Le Mans. In the decades after his death the use of film stills has made the watch synonymous with McQueen. Although it was discontinued in the mid-1970s, the Monaco was reissued with a new design in 1998 and was reintroduced again with an entirely new mechanisms in 2003 in response to McQueen's increasing popularity.

"McQueen Monaco"

The Monaco 1133 became synonymous with Steve McQueen when he wore it in his 1971 film, Le Mans.[8] His association with this model began when McQueen sought the advice of his friend Jo Siffert to increase the accuracy of his race car driver role. Siffert, in addition to being a racing driver, was also spokesperson for both Heuer and Gulf Oil. At McQueen’s request, Siffert lent him his racing suit which was adorned with Gulf Oil's colors and an embroidered "Chronograph HEUER" crest over the right breast.[8] In order to complete the look, McQueen opted for the newly introduced B model Calibre 12 Monaco.[8][10]

After McQueen arrived home following filming, he gave his watch to his financial advisor as a token of appreciation. The advisor was credited with returning McQueen and his company, Solar Productions Inc., into the black after they encountered financial problems during filming.[3] Because of his association, the 1133 is commonly nicknamed "McQueen Monaco".[8]

Even after his death in 1980, McQueen's name continued to be associated with the watch. TAG Heuer capitalized on his continuing popularity by using films stills of McQueen wearing his Monaco watch in advertising campaigns.[11][12] In 1998, TAG Heuer reissued the model as a limited edition with a production run of 5,000 watches.[13]

The McQueen Monaco has become one of the most sought after pieces in the international vintage markets. As only a handful of the original are believed to be still in existence, demand far exceeds supply.[1] Original blue models are capable of reaching $9,000 with decent example going for $7,000. The less desirable gray models go for over $6,000.

wat info over de Gulf met glazen achterkant en zonder
Ik meende die Gulf een paar keer voor iets meer dan 2K voorbij te hebben zien komen hier en daar. Nu ik ernaar zoek, kom ik ze pas tegen van 3,5K.
