Yet another happy Monster customer

Yes I know that there are lots of posts on here about the Seiko monster but I wanted to just add another.

Reading all the great feedback on here made me want to buy one and Im so glad I did. Anyone who has read the other threads and is still unsure just get one. What great value.

Went for the orange monster on Rubber starp (and I know everyone says the steel bracelet is amazing but I really wanted a rubber strap) and Im delighted.

I'm even thinking of getting a black one now.

Anyway sorry to go on but wanted to share the joy!

Congrats dandan
Just got a monster myself two days ago..
I wasn't planing on one, but someone offered me a trade for my buck mayo pocket knife.

so i did, and i'm very happy with it, it's a nice addition to my other dive watches. i'm sure you will be very happy with it.

Congrats on your new Monster !!
After wearing it for awhile, you WILL want the Black one too, trust me !!
I LOVE my black Monster, it's been on my wrist for the past two months straight !
My Omegas are starting to feel neglected lol
I cannot say enough good things about the Seiko Monsters, only that they should start marketing them in some US retail stores, I bet they would fly like pancakes !!

Definitely want the black one but will leave it for a couple of months I think.

Great watch though. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about and now I know. LOve the rubber strap for a change from my steel watches as well.

Thanks everyone!

I hear they are a gr8 watch. Im about to order mine.

Do u think they will be collector items in 20 years or so??

Are they a Japanese model or US??

I have seen them for $174 new??Is that a good price?

Also, I love both Black and Orange? What has more of a collectors' appeal?

Thanks guys!!!!!

Congrats. Indeed, a wise choice - I made that choice myself quite some time ago, and am still happy!!
