Steve McQueen is gone

Hi All,

It was hard to do, I had to do it, Got rid of my Steve McQueen to make way for a new addition coming soon...

That Monaco was a classic. What you got coming? It'll be tough to beat though.

Classic TAG but I have a feeling that the replacement will be well worth the move.
Looking foward to see what it might be.

Are you saying you traded the McQueen for the Tag? Or do you have the Tag and something else is coming?

The OP never mentioned a TAG, someone else did. The McQueen is a TAG.

I'm normally not all that into tags, but the McQueen Monaco I would defiantly consider.

Kilyung you had the CAW211A and got rid of it :(

Experience, This was my first foray into the world of iconic and big value watches, this was a dream come true when I finally owned one, always got compliments and loved wearing it, It had it's own identity, everyone knew what it was and called it "McQueen" Sadly though I had to sell it to make way for the DD, will be sorely missed but it's replacement is just as special
