Bring a Loupe: Five Reasons Why Spending $5,000 On This Tudor 'Monte Carlo' Would Be A Terrible Idea
The Tudor "Monte Carlo" is undoubtedly a very cool looking chronograph, with a funky color scheme that you would not have expected from Manufacture Rolex – also the owner of Tudor. The successive iterations of the Oysterdate Chronograph – its less poetic technical name – are therefore highly sought after, but you should run away from one example that you can currently find for quite cheap on ebay. It is conspicuously wrong, in many ways. Let’s now play Spot The Differences between this Monte Carlo and some correct examples. An Incorrect Red Hand 1 OF 132 OF 13 A quick and easy thing to spot first is that the chronograph seconds hand seen on the ebay example – on the left here – simply does not fit aesthetically.

Incoming a happy AD story
So sometime in February I stroll into my AD and inquire about the SD43 126600 list. Now I've go long history with this AD but not the sales person so she tells me there are no lists first come first served.Fast forward to today and I get a call from her and she asks if I'm still interested and I say hell yes. So I jet down to them and there it is in all its glory. She tells me if I want to pass there are others to call and I remind her she told me there were no lists. Laughing she tells me all SS models have lists and I just happened to be first on the SD43 list.After being on bended knee to the boss (read the wife) I'm now the proud owner of my very own seadweller 126600, and I'm stoked

16610 LV Question
Evening All,I'm debating getting one of these watches in 2018, and while doing some research into the watch, found photos of two different shades of the green bezel insert from the same article on bobswatches. Are there different production models of the watch which reflect different shades of the green bezel insert? Here's what I mean. The first picture, showing a lighter shade:Here's a second from the same article, showing a darker insertIs this just a lighting issue? These inserts look very different to me. Any thoughts?Best,TASent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
