What should I expect to pay for a TAG Monaco either new or second hand?

Depends on the model and movement.

Anywhere from £1500 to £3500 (top figure being current RRP!)

Budget £1700-1800 for a nicely looked after used one.

If you're after a Heuer Monaco then that's a different matter!

Im not an expert.... whats the difference between the Monaco and the Heuer?

I'm refferring to the original Heuer Monaco of the 60s-70s

and the re-issued Tag Heuer Monaco of late 90s through to present day of which there are various editions

Budget about £4K for a good one!

I'll be very interested to see how much this fetches.

There are a fair few owners of original ones on DDK

I have one of the first 'McQueen Re-editions' which I am considering selling. They are great watches regardless of the Porsche association.

I do like that...

I've got a 2 year old white face Daytona - pretty much the same watch but without the zenith movement and silver small dials rather than black.

the price you are asking seems very reasonable based on what i paid for a less desirable model....
