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. |

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 |

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!
