what model Monaco is it?

the McQueens are priced around $7800 new....but I think the standard Monaco is somewhere around $5500

and there's some limited pieces that retail north of $13,000

so $3300 depending on the model is a killer deal.....or not so much at all

I've got a McQueen (blue with the silver subdials)...and even though it's "only" 39mm...it wears large....feels like a 44mm on the wrist because of the square shape...just an fyi

Always loved the Monaco Gulf, but finding one, what's the phrase about looking for virgins in a cathouse....

[WTF]

white, black or grey?

I freakin love the black one....think it was a 2007-8 release

I kick my ass constantly for not buying one when the used market had lots of them up for sale and our dollar was on par....around 2010-11....you could buy a barely worn one for $2400 USD.....now I see the asking prices are nearly twice that and our dollar is far from being on par

chrono24 has a few of them on there....all european stores

The band is http://rubberb.com/, it's a stainless bracelet model. Takes ten minutes to swap bracelets.

My dad wants to have a Rolex done by Bamford Watch Department, you have to buy a new Rolex through them, then they take it apart and customize every aspect you can think of. It's around 25k on top of the watch price IIRC.

I have seen those before in Hong Kong, there's a entire Bamford Store inside the Lane Crawford Mall.

Not my cup of tea, but if you want a one-off DAYTONA and being able to maintain the Rolex Warranty, I think they are the only choice, that said, Rolex have expanded.
the Daytona line as well, many different options from the Watchmaker now, with and without precious stones.

My dad changes his mind a lot, so I'd be shocked if he does actually follow through and get a Bamford just based on the length of the process alone. He also has mentioned a new Panerai or Patek a lot, it will probably come down to what catches him on the right day.

not a fan of the 24 models....when they did the little shock-absorber treatment in the corners they kinda lost me....cause now you clearly see a round face inside a square frame

this is the piece I hope to score one of these days
