Curious to know the difference between these two seiko auto's. Seiko 5 Sports 200m Scuba Diver's SKZ249 and the Seiko "Orange Monster". Thanks, Tim. Last edited on Sun Jun 15th, 2008 10:44 pm by TimShultz |

the skz249 is 48mm and is called the "FrankenMonster"...OM is 42mm and they both have much different designs throughout the entire watch....2 different watches with few simlilarities imohand6.gif

Hey -- I just asked that! http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=12240&forum_id=1 The only substantive answer I got was that, apart from the obvious cosmetic differences, they use different caliber movements (the Seiko 5 movement is a higher grade). I like that Seiko 5 -- the yellow one. I'm probably going to get it.

I took the plunge and bought the FrankenMonster for $139.00 which I thought was a good deal...I really didn't study it much since it will be my first seiko..I just figured the price sounded ok. Thanks for your information on the watch. I didn't know that it was referred to as the "FrankenMonster" as I was told it was a neo Orange Monster...in any event, I am sure that I will enjoy it. Thanks, Tim.

Well, I think that's a pretty darn good price. But I wouldn't go as far to say the 7S36 is a 'higher grade' than the 7S26. It basically has an added bridge that adds 2 jewels...that essentially improve nothing (for a really in depth answer...see here). It is essentially a style difference. I have had a couple of Monsters before, and had a FrankenTunaMonster (or whatever you want to call it) too. I think you'll find the lume on the Franken superb. It was better than the Monster's I've had. Enjoy!
