I have read great references on the Seiko Monsters. I am thinking about getting one and, in one on-line retailer, I have the following choices 1) Black Monster w/bracelet. Special price US$ 169. 2) Black Monster w/bracelet, no papers or box. Price US$ 159 3) Orange Monster w/rubber, no papers or box. Price US$ 145 I am not too much into rubber, but I have a Watchadoo 20mm on the way for another watch, which I could use on the monster as well. The Seiko bracelet does look nice in the pics, though... I am pretty bad for these kind of decisions, so opinions would be most helpful.

ive had a black monster on bracelet for a while, so i ordered an Orange monster with no box and papers and rubber strap a few weeks ago. service was great, with quick shipping to me. i say go for the black monser w/bracelet with no box and papers. then add an orange one later and just swap the bracelet as needed. :)

I agree. Also, I recommend the 22mm watchadoo on which you modify the end link by filing 1 mm on each side. I have both, black and orange and I put the 22mm watchadoo on the OM and love it. You can't go wrong with the Seiko Monster IMHO. Good choice hand6.gif Last edited on Sun Aug 23rd, 2009 09:01 pm by DM71 |

Orange... but that is my stock answer to almost any question.;) No need to worry about papers with a Monster. Get the cheaper of the two on the bracelet and then get the opposite on the strap. Then you have it all.:dude:

Great help, thanks. I came across as well with the "Seiko 5 XXL Automatic Dive Watch". Any opinions on that one ?

Tough looking watch BUT, you have to be aware that the black bezel/crown guard is made of plastic :(, if you have no problem with that (i do) go for it, it's a very nice looking watch with a solid bracelet. Seiko 5 often get cheap bracelets, not this one. I would also recommend the SAWTOOTH, if you don't mind a quartz watch, well, nothing is perfect in this world. I wish they had the SAWTOOTH case with the auto movement but...Ha yea :D, the 600m Tuna Can 6159-7010 or SBDX005 is close enough but, good luck to find one in good condition and $$$$... I hope I'm not drooling on your desk   picture a blue sawtooth taken from the net. Last edited on Mon Aug 24th, 2009 05:07 pm by DM71 |

I believe the plastic part was not a turn-on for me even before your posting. Also, I think maybe the Monster is more of a classic, and a bit more easy to wear because of the smaller size. Do not like choices...

Again, the Monsters are great buy at very affordable price i got my OM on steel bracelet for $155 and my BM, also on steel for $165 shipped both from Pokemonyu on eBay. You should stick with your first idea, i truly believe that the Seiko Monsters are still the best buy for the money out there for a real certified Auto diver's watch IMOH. And I can guaranty you that once you own one, you won't be able to live a normal life without the other color (forget about the limited edition, blue, red, yello...) yourock.gif
