No problem redsub!!! 

Hey, one of the things I like most about the Monsters is that a Monster looks like a Monster looks like a Monster...and nothing else.  If the Monster look is not for you...well, that's just fine with me in the world of WIS!!!

The 6r15 movement is a fantastic movement and as you already know is present in the Seiko Prospex Sumo (I've got the black SBDC001 which was modified by the original owner with a sapphire crystal and "type-s" seconds hand).  I would recommend it without reservations...it's a fantastic piece!!! (and you can go Black, Blue, or Orange depending on what you like). 

It is a fantastic piece that is, like most Seikos, great bang for the buck!!!  Has great wrist presence, but is easily one of the easiest, most comfortable on the wrist I own. 

The case work on the Sumo is a thing of beauty with the contrasting polished and brushed surfaces (you have to really hold one in your hand and inspect closely the machining work to really appreciate, but once you do, you will be saying "how do they do all this for the price of entry?").
