* The TAG Heuer Monaco Flyback Chronograph TH-Carbonspring will not be available for purchase in any of our boutiques worldwide and cannot be purchased online

who then will be the selling party if not any boutique or the E commerce webshop?

To add, the Zenith carbon covergirl at €14k is still available which is a better deal IMHO.
I just heard from a very reliable source on why some Boutiques might say it isn't available in stores or via e-commerce.

TAG Heuer started their pre-sales process for the Carbon-spring watches long before their official announcement at Geneva Watch Days. The pre-sales period ended around mid-August, and it's believed that more than enough deposits had been placed for the Monaco at that time. In other words, all 50 were already pre-sold prior to release. Prospective pre-sales buyer candidates will be informed sometime before the end of December whether or not they've been selected.

I don't know what this means for customers who've placed deposits after the pre-sales period closed, such as the two clients mentioned by @Watchmen_DR.

Hmmmm.. this wouldn’t surprise me at all to find out. It was a similar case with the solid gold Chronosprints back from LMVH watch week where only 10 were made.

If that’s the case then the two clients we have here won’t even be in consideration to get one unless two of the other pre-buyers drop out of the running.

Yes, I’ve been noticing a lot of that myself lately. Even though I work for Tag, I find out better information on forums like this/doing my own personal research 🤨
This is so true... I wasn't even sure if this watch was under embargo because I heard nothing and saw nothing about it on the website

Does anyone know anything about a green and black Carrera Extreme Sports GMT?

This one? we got these in my shop, roughly a week and a half ago.

Funny that these don't show on the TAG Heuer top level menu for the Carrera, but it is on the website if you do a search.

I found the Shanghai Limited Edition; the info is here: https://www.xbiao.com/heuer/81667.html

It was released in March and limited to just 10 pieces. The price is 296,100 Chinese Yuan, about the same price as the Senna Tourbillon Carrera Extreme (according to the TAG Heuer China website). Looks similar to the Senna too. But with different colors, black DLC Titanium and the skyline of Shanghai on its case-back crystal.
