The register starts with the suspected pre production, pre launch Chronomatic dials (with cases that have no tool no33 engraving) and ends with a mixture of Transitional and Std Production 1133B Monacos. Pre production launch watches were likely "born" in 1968 and sold after the 3rd March 1969 press conferences in New York, Geneva, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Beirut. It lists in serial number order all the 157xxx and early 158xxx serial numbers in a hope of collating and understanding the very early 1969 Monacos. If you have a watch that falls into this serial number range but is not included, please email me at crosthwaite@hotmail.com
Note that PW = Paintless Wonder & refers to the way thes early metallic dials often degraded.
