Do you believe in monsters?
I do. Especially black ones
My SKX779K Black Monster arrived this morning. After removing a couple of links it now fits perfectly and feels great. Thanks to everyone who recommended it . Here are some photos of my newest addition. :Cheers:

Cheers JJ, I've been looking for a nice daily beater that won't draw too much attention from my brand conscious students and this really fits the bill. It sit very comfortably and as you said, it's very solid. Thanks, it's the best 14,000 yen I've spent this year The lume is freaky!

14,000 yen is a great price for Monster with bracelet.

BIG.....BIG CONGRATS RYAN.
Those pics are amazing!!!! Maybe i am crazy ....but i get as much enjoyment wearing my Black Monster as i do my more illustrious watches....and that feeling has not faded over time!!!!! It may well be the best $180 i ever spent! I was looking at my dial today whilst waiting at Manila airport.The detail of the recessed hour markers and the raised minute markers give it an almost 3D impression.The dial clarity still amazes me to this day.The quality of the rotation of the 120 click bezel is fantastic. A_M_A_Z_I_N_G Enjoy it in good health my friend. |

Exactly that's why I'm thinking about getting the Orange Monster too
I was very close and then I saw the Marathon SAR thread, now I'm on the fence about which one to get next. At the moment I'm leaning towards the Marathon SAR just because it might be my last chance to get one. Trust me you'll love it Quote:

Thanks John Here's my baby on rubber. What do you guys think?

Ryan, i'll preferred the BM in rubber straps (just like yours in the photos) imo it matches the black dial perfectly and look more sporty
PS. Yeah, i have ordered mine! Thanks guys!!

I'm thinking of getting a silicone rubber strap for it. It might be a little softer than the OEM rubber one
