  3. Love the TAG Monoca, the one TAG I've always wanted. Will treat myself at some point.

    I do like a nice watch or two.

  4. Careful with the “Monoca”. The word police are on patrol :grinning:

  6. For those of us that don't know, why is the winder on the other side on yours?
    Compared to Robarano's and Steve McQueen's?

  7. I do know that McQueen wore his watches on his right arm, that's why they made the Monaco like that.

  11. The story is that it was the 1st automatic chronograph, and as most people wear them on their left arm, it was to prove the point that you didn't need to wind it up. Doing so would have been awkward with your right hand, at least that's what is said in the video below (1:15). Very cool. :)

    I don't know why TT's is on the right though. :thinkingface:

  15. I don't think it was specifically made for McQueen and the movie. He just chose that watch himself for the part. :)
