After some recommendation from forum members I decided to pick up a seiko monster and see how I like it to beat around in. Can't really decide between orange or black?

427shark · 29 May 2013, 04:15 AM

Oh also forgot about the 007 model

SearChart · 29 May 2013, 04:19 AM

I've got a 007, and I think it's quite a lot prettier than those two stated above.

I clicked over thinking this was gonna be a Frankenstein vs Dracula vs the Wolfman poll.

If that was the case Dracula would obviously come out on top

stockae92 · 29 May 2013, 05:31 AM

Used to love the orange monster, but as i get old(er), I like the black monster better

linesiders · 29 May 2013, 05:58 AM

Orange - your sub is black, no?

cop414 · 29 May 2013, 07:46 AM

Black if it were me, but I already have an orange faced watch. I've always liked the look of the Monster. I would also ckeck out the 007 as someone already posted.

1William · 29 May 2013, 09:08 AM

Great watch. Wear mine cutting the grass or any activity that I don't wear a Rolex for.

Trouble15 · 29 May 2013, 09:19 AM

Black

Demosthene · 29 May 2013, 10:07 AM

Orange

Although the Seiko Stargate is a better watch for the money.

Sherwooddavid · 29 May 2013, 10:10 AM

Black.

427shark · 29 May 2013, 11:00 AM

My exact intentions

swils8610 · 29 May 2013, 11:46 AM

Orange!

jolimont · 29 May 2013, 12:29 PM

orange

but that stargate is droolworthy

East Bay Rider · 29 May 2013, 12:36 PM

Black

427shark · 29 May 2013, 01:16 PM

I actually pulled the trigger on the orange one. Was a coin toss, the deciding factor was that if I like the orange monster ill pic up the 007..... & then probably black monster

427shark · 29 May 2013, 01:18 PM

I opted to get it on the seiko rubber strap. Anyone have experience with this and know if its comfortable?

good choice. lose the oem band. throw it out. it sucks. get a 20mm lug size maratak with orange stitch and a all orange rubber. you'll like the watch more.

Haha the band is that bad huh.. Was thinking some kind of NATO strap, ill check out the Maratak bands. Thanks

427shark · 29 May 2013, 01:53 PM

So now I'm on a full blown seiko/ Japanese diver kick

. Looking at all kinds of monsters black,orange,blue,yellow,white + sumo's & tsunami's

... Definitely a cool watch niche. Snow monster's are really cool, but seem to be around 1k.. Guess I should wait for my om to come before I get to carried away

skprd13 · 29 May 2013, 04:40 PM

Hey 427,
Orange monster all the way! But I must say dam the white with blue is one sweet looking watch! Where you find that bad boy? What is it called? I am going to get one of those!
Attached pick of my orange monster. Soon will have a poppin bright orange leather Nato strapped to her!

Aloha from Kauai.

longreach380 · 29 May 2013, 07:29 PM

black for me..I am in the process of purchasing the SBDB001.

TonyD · 29 May 2013, 10:35 PM

I have an orange and it is a great daily wearer. Great lume.

Not a great photo but it is a nice combo

Pick up an orange NATO from Maratac as well.
