Have seen some photos...but did not notice the cyclops.

Believe the green is a limited edition / hard to find...and upwards of $1700 (for a SEIKO) if you can!

A bargain compared to Rolex of course!

Cool...

I have to say, the out-of-the-box experience of a SEIKO cannot hold a candle to Rolex or Omega.

True enough Bill.....

But the "out-of the-bank-account" experience sometimes has its compensations!!!!!!

Congratulations My Rolex AD is a Seiko Ad too. They have an Orange Monster that's been in their case for two years. MSRP is $425 and even if they give me 20%, it's still too much

hahaha!!!!........something tells me they are going to have that OM for many years to come!!!!!!!!!.........

Mailman tell them the "Monster" part refers to its size.....and NOT the price...... what planet are they on!!!!!!

Today I saw a BM ss at an AD here in Cebu for USD$182.

I think generally its getting harder to find them less than $200 now.

I searched everywhere for one locally and finally find one after 5 different jewelry stores. I paid more than most, $300 with tax. Had 3 links removed from the bracelet and 2 year warranty through there store also.

I've looked at the Monster (in particular the Orange Monster) a few times over the years. You guys are making me want to search one out all that much more.
