This and the JLC Reverso are the only square watches I like I think.

Cool, anyway you look at it. For me it's one of those watches that just works no matter what. Not a fan of square/rectangular watches myself . . . but I love the Monaco. Not a TAG fan . . . but this watch stands alone regardless of the brand.

I'd have one in a New York minute . . . blue or grey, would'nt matter either.

I love mine...I was never a rectangular watch kind of guy. But this one is just...badass!! Since the pic I have put it on a bracelet and wear it that way.

The Monaco is the center of my collection. Its a great dress watch with good size and the plexi is the way to go for sure but if you really like the grey there is one at my local AD I tried on the other day.

I do also love me a Tag Chrono

Really cool and unique watch. I'm not a square watch kind of guy, but if I was going to step out there and go with a watch like that, that would be the one to get.

A buddy of mine bought one recently and he is a big time watch guy. He was very impressed with the fit and finish on the Monaco.

Not a fan of Tag watches either but the Monaco is such a classic. The grey one is real nice but not so instantly recognisable as the blue and Gulf versions. I don't have a square watch but I would love to get a Monaco.

I would also say if I was going to do it again I would only buy a version with a left hand crown like the original caliber 11.

My Autavia has this and it gives the watch a little something more in my opinion.
