 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 brothersubtlelaugh.gif



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.
