actually went out of my way yesterday just to go to a watch dealer that sells seiko watches! goodness!!!! the seiko monster was really stunning!!!! (and to think i never knew it existed till i read a few posts here on trf!)!!! they are really stunning! and, like john, plan to get one!!!
any history behind this bad baby?!? which would be a "better" buy -- the orange or the black face monster? or is it really down to personal taste? geesh! i was so excited that i actually had to search the forum for more posts on the monster! thank you trf one again! |

The monster has 19.5mm lugs but a 20mm strap fits it just fine

I have a Black Monster aswell. I think they are a great watch for the money.
I actually wore it on an Black Animal velcro strap as I found this the most comfy combo. The only prob I think is that the bezel is very easily knocked and moved, I think it's due to the rather large grips on the bezel. I would often look down and the bezel would be off the 12 O'clock. I no longer wear mine but I wont sell it either. |

Look what I got today!
Here is my new Orange Monster Automatic I received in the mail today! Along with box, papers and the extra rubber strap!
Sitting to the left is my '85 Rolex DateJust 18K/SS and to the right is my Citizen Eco-Drive that I bought the day it debuted back in 2005 in California. Still wear the heck out of it today...but now will be replaced by my MONSTER! I have several other diver and chrono's in my collection, but these get worn the most!

Ah! So, that's what that is. Nice one. Yeah, I have 3 watches that don't do that. The Breguet, Ebel, and Aviator. I wait and wait and DAMN miss it and wait and wait...Not the end of the world or anything, it's just that I don't like seeing how my thousand dollar piece of equipment can't even align properly when the second hand hits 12.

I switched the OEM rubber band for a Bond Nato about a month ago, and although I've worn it sparingly, it looks and feels and great.

I wish the RED Monster wasn't so expensive. Only 1313 pieces made and at the $1300 price tag...I can think of something else to buy! But I love red!
