i have a number of watches of all different prices and the Orange Monster on the metal strap is one of my faves - what's not to love? -sapphire crystal -good size -very rugged -automatic -60 click uni-bezel -& some of the nicest lume i've seen I honestly feel like this is a mis-priced watch...... don't tell Seiko ... do the Orange Monster, then go for a black at a later date... That's what I was about to do, but you didn't post the seller of the black monster  you'll be happy with whatever you chose. Finally, I'm not too big on the watchadoo... if you go for one, then grab the metal strap and then go to sales forum here - someone is selling 4 rubber straps, grab one of those.

Are you sure you are talking about the Orange Monster Nizzler??? The OM and BM have a Hardlex crystal, which is Seiko hardened mineral crystal and a 120 clicks bezel. You're right about the rest :P No offense intended! Daniel Last edited on Mon Aug 24th, 2009 08:51 pm by DM71 |

OK guys. By looking at the number of replies (at some stage I just could not keep up...), I realized the Monster is a winner and a must have. So I ordered one, bracelet and... Orange. I have two black face divers already (plus an Invicta 8926 that most likely will go...), a black face Gevril Stadium and a black carbon face Carrera chronograph, so I figured out that some orange would enlighten my watch box... Got it from a reputable (hope so...) dealer in "the bay", at a pretty good price delivered to Chile. Thanks for all the good, fast and passionate advise.

Ral, you can't go wrong getting either the OM or BM first. I just prefer the BM and that's why I got it ahead of my OM....by about 3 years. Stick to the bracelet. They are well made. Here is my BM from my previous post on 3T. My OM is back at home.....2 time zones away. After you get used to the BM/OM, check out the Frankenmonsters. While their collars/neck flanges are made of resin, they are not easy to break and these things speak volumes for the watch's looks. Here are 2 of mine that I previously posted on 3T.  Lastly, when you're done digesting all of these sturdy watches, check this out (I also posted in 3T previously). It's from the same Seiko line. I can't recall any nickname for it but I just call it the White Monster. I prefer this over the OM and BM because it's just more elegant and not very common.;)  Since we are on the subject, after you get the one above, check out its darker and almost stealth-clothed brother  Hope these photos help you.:) Please note that when the hour hand, minute hand and second hand exactly align at say 12:00 :6:30, 2:10 or 9:50, the overlap will resemble a rocket or spaceship. Depending on the alignment, the rocket is either taking off, cruising to its assigned altitude or preparing to land. The hour hand is an arrow head, the minute hand is a sword and the 12 index is a shield. Nothing in my collection beats the lume on these Seikos. smile8.gif Last edited on Tue Aug 25th, 2009 01:30 am by bigrustypig |
