Monaco 1133G

Here's my lovely 1133G...
I bought it from a guy in London mid-2008 and haven't worn it much lately.
Not much to do with this one apart from replace the glass and gasket.
It's quite a low 16xxxx serial number so must be quite an early one.
There are 2 versions of the 1133G; this one with the contrasting subdials and the other with the grain continuing from the main dial across the subdials.
Can you believe this is the same watch? Now it looks blue...
No post-photo trickery here.
Amazing effects and colour changes as the dial picks up different lights.

Another project...1979 124 Spider

1979 124 Spider.Designed by Pininfarina.
I bought this back in '91 as an import from California and it was my main transport through to 1998.
Taken us on trips to Europe including the '95 Monaco GP and also to Magny Cours for the GP there in 2001.
The engine's great but I do need to put in some work on the suspension and bodywork.
Might need to sell a few watches!!!

11630 GMT on a G/F bracelet

You'd think it would be easy swapping the G/F bracelet from one 11630 to another...
No way; the holes on the 11630T are more centred whereas on the GMT they're nearer the top of the case.
Anyway its on and pretty comfortable :-)

11630 GMT

Today I'm wearing my Autavia 11630GMT.This one's on a genuine Heuer plated bracelet which is quite heavy but looks great.
TBH, I'm usually pretty reluctant to wear this bracelet as it's a minter and I'm scared of scratching it!

The Pepsi bezel colours are still strong and the yellow GMT hand really stands out.
The GMT hand is not independently settable - instead you rotate the bezel to indicate the 2nd timezone.
The movement is a Cal.14.
