So fate decides for me,I ordered a black one but then I get an email saying they are out of the black but have the orange in stock...so I get orange! lol
Couldnt take it after reading all the monster threads and looking at the pics....i just had to have one!

spuds · 10 February 2010, 02:39 AM

Congrat's!!
personally I prefer the orange anyway.....

Speed · 10 February 2010, 06:03 AM

Nice going Chris!!!

You will like it.

I am wearing mine on black NATO. Have ordered an Orange NATO and a thicker / heavy duty NATO as well. I was advised by Sunburst / Joji that I may need thinner springbars if I want to wear a thick NATO.

I want to resize the bracelet, but the pin / washer system seems a bit cumbersome. I have a website tutorial another TRFer posted...but that will be for a weekend task!

Congratulations. You will love it

Pics !!

Honestly, both are excellent choices ! Be it black, or orange, both of them are fantastic watches that will last you for many years of service !
Congrats on the monster ! I just bought a Black Monster last week and have worn it everyday since last Thursday ! So far, she's about -25 seconds in a week ! Simply fantastic for a $200 automatic !

chrisok · 10 February 2010, 09:46 AM

Yeah I just bought the sub a few weeks ago and wasn't even thinking about buying a watch until an expII later this year,but I ran across the pics and threads about the monsters and just had to have one....now I just have to wait for it to get here!

beerformeplz · 10 February 2010, 01:00 PM

Price and from where?

14060MSUB · 10 February 2010, 02:04 PM

I just received my BM today! After hearing all the good words here on TRF, I just had to get one for daily use... I mean, everyone one here as great taste (obviously), but who would have thought- a "Seiko Monster"?

It’s only been on my wrist a few hours, but so far so good.

2005rivers · 10 February 2010, 02:06 PM

good job, I like the orange!

Speed · 10 February 2010, 03:43 PM

Yeah Baby...

Orange!

Oranges!!!

The watch with the Black NATO strap is my newest...it was a replacement for the USED Watch I was sold - the one in the second photo. The seller at Amazon shipped me a scratched used watch, but replaced it.

sleddog · 10 February 2010, 04:03 PM

When did you get those Bill??

The GMT Master · 10 February 2010, 08:53 PM

TRF should start getting paid commission from Seiko for all the Monsters we've managed to sell

Fantastic watch, congratulations

Desperado · 10 February 2010, 09:16 PM

Very Cool watch with the black NATO

I also just realized I posted this in the wrong forum...a mod can move it if necessary...sorry!

Hey Rob,

Just a week or so ago. Only got one watch after returning a watch sold to me as new...but was USED / scratched. Got it from an Amazon seller.

So I have ONE monster. Quite cool as a low-price kickaround Automatic!

I saw the watch advertised for $175+ or so... but the site was actually out of stock. I paid about $200.

Perdu · 12 February 2010, 10:40 AM

Very cool picture, Bill. . . And a very nice watch.

Speed · 12 February 2010, 01:39 PM

Thanks Gary.

Never thought a $200 Steel SEIKO Diver could be so cool!

Yep,Seiko makes a great watch for the dollar value!!!
As a kid,Seiko was my first and most favourite watch there was...I still have a Seiko diver from 96' that I bought new and wore for 18 months straight!!
Just pulled it out actually last weekend and started reminiscing of the good ole day's....

(simpler times!)!!
Very nice Bill,love the stand out orange..

PerfectTiming · 13 February 2010, 06:36 AM

Fate! Looks amazing!

mailman · 13 February 2010, 09:47 AM

I love my black one, but I'm still undecided about the orange

geronimo509 · 15 February 2010, 02:13 AM

I kinda like it. I think if it had blue hour markers I would like it better. BTW, nice pictures, I really like it with the oranges.

Speed · 15 February 2010, 03:14 AM

Thanks Nick!

I am surprised how much I like the Monster. Maybe I will sell my SS Sub and buy 20 monsters.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

WOW Bill,..... You got the Monster bug real bad now!!!!!

So that Seiko "out-of-the-box" feeling had a delayed action!!!!!

hahaha!!!!!!

So glad you are liking it.!!!!!

Speed · 17 February 2010, 05:55 AM

Actually the grinding action the SEIKO crown has bugs me...but getting used to it.

Just kidding. I would love a Rolex or PAM right about now.

Ack. $288 - no reserve met...

I know folks were asking $1700 for the Green Monster.

The joy of the Monster is the <$200 price!
