It's a very distinctive chrono design - cool watch, looks great with the grey on grey!

The silicone is too grabby to wear in the winter, always catching on long sleeves. But that also makes it a great summer strap. I'll try to get some soon but in the meantime I did find this winter wrist shot [although it doesn't show much of the strap]. dP

My first Tudor and first post on this forum
Here's a picture of my 1973 Tudor MonteCarlo. It's my first Tudor and will not be my last!

I'm new to the Tudor Monte Carlo but may I say it is a stunning timepiece.
Out of curiosity how easy was it for you owners to source your individual watches? |

These vintages ones do not seem very plentiful. I was searching for months before I found mine. They come up every so often and usually you have to grab it when you see it. Up until a few years ago, these watches were not really thought of and certainly not seen as a luxury or expensive watch. Owners wore then, used them and not a lot have survived over the years and some are still probably in drawers somewhere with owners not knowing what they have. But these are beautiful and a terrific piece with great movements.

After months of researching vintage Monte Carlos to better understand the variances of bezels, dials, hands, crowns and bracelets, I found mine at Fourtane in Carmel CA at the launch of Tudor in USA. I went in to buy the CHB, but walked out with the 1973 version instead!
Although I really like the new version, I'm addicted to self winding vintage chronographs. Vintage chronographs and vintage cars are my personal passions. A small group of us have been extending Cars and Coffee on Saturday mornings to include vintage watches. James Taylor |

Dan, Interesting "modifications to what appears to be a modern homeplate CH. As a Tudor newbie, what crystal did you use to replicate the date magnification bump on the new watch? I also like the watch band with flush link attached.

The crystal is original, just had a friend add the Rolec cyclops. The custom end links came from George (smartyjones18), a member of TRF. dP
