Nice Chris!

The guy at longisland watch was nice...I tried ordering from them, but they were out. Would have saved some $$$ had I waited. They seem to have the best price.

I looked everywhere local,I just couldn't find one...kind of a small town I live in I guess. Really wanted to see it in person first but was well worth the risk!!

Congrats on the new Orange Monster ! I love my new Black Monster. In fact, I haven't taken it off my wrist since I bought it 3 weeks ago lol. It also has unbelievable accuracy. Mine hasn't gained but 30 seconds in the 3 week period. Simply amazing value for the money. And the Lume in fantastic !
Congrats again !
Mike

I think it is wild that a Rolex forum could persuade this many people to buy a Seiko Monster

Congratulations! I don’t even wear my Sub anymore

Can't go past a good Seiko and the monster is excellent value for money

I know many people who own high $$$ watches and own a monster even to the point its nearly a cult following

The Monster is a GIANT slayer......that is why we cannot get enough of them!!!!

It has a robust,tough,mech mvt and the rest of the watch equals this rugged ability .........It can take EVERYTHING you can throw at it.....
and more.......................like a Submariner..........


BUT THE BIG HEADLINE IS.....IT COSTS $185-225......you can pay this much for a mediocre quartz watch!!!!!!

This is the essence of Monster attraction by so many watch enthusiasts OMHO!!!!!!!

.......and is fast making it almost a legend!!!!!!!


Long live the Monster!!!!!!!!

I was able to locate the "Orange", but I was originally trying to find the "Black" and haven't seen anybody with one in-stock. But the more I see the "Orange" the more I like it. A very robust looking watch. The fit and finish seem top-notch as well. Wear it in good health my friend!
