Yes, $850 is ludicrous for a Yellow Monster.That's about £480 by my calculations,and you can buy standard BMs and OMs for £115.00!or less Granted it is a limited edition (I believe they only made 300), but no way is it worth 4 times the price of a BM,it must be the power of the ORANGE limited edition.

Actually in at least one respect I think it's a poorer watch than either of the standard models, since the cyclops is completely unnecessary - it looks better IMO with the standard crystal.

It doesn't look as the bezel turns though, if this is the case what use is the time incremented bezel?

The bezel turns, absolutely, just the same as the BM and the OM. Not sure of the increments, but that's how nicely the tolerences are on that monster.

Bezels fully functional Earl

Yep. I don't like it. Don't really care for the new blue one either, and it's sure not worth that much money.

120 clicks per revolution on the BM.

Love yellow on a NIKE polo....not on a dial!!

Earl · 27 October 2005, 07:03 AM

I'm sorry guys I was looking at the tip left of the stem (looks like there are 2 objects sticking out, I knew if they are there it wont turn) but, after closer inspection I can see it is an optical illusion. I'm kinda indifferant about the watch even now. SoRRy :o)

Yes agree but only because you are feeling unwell.

baseballduck · 29 October 2005, 12:03 AM
