When I crossed the Gulf LE Monaco Tag off my bucket list I was thrilled. The Dial colors are that of the Gulf Oil racing livery who was the sponsor of many famous teams and cars. The recent Monaco Grand Prix is the most recent case. The McLaren F1 team had their MCL35M decked out in Gulf colors of blue and orange. The beautiful livery is best known having been the livery of both the Porsche 917K and of course the GT40. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sold it to @James. to buy a gen Superocean Steelfish. Sold that, etc... but always wanted the Panda back. Beautiful, well made watch at a great price point, but the bracelet... the absolute most comfortable BY FAR bracelet I've ever had on. I had to find another one, was able to source one a few months ago and this one isn't going anywhere 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
