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! |

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 ! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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! |
