Congrats on the new arrival Landmonster Daniel!!!!
Great looking combo...love the case, bezel, hands combination on this one and the ss bracelet looks sweet too!!!
Very cool!!!
Thanks Chris, I like it a lot :D. It's a very solid timepiece but I have to say that the real beauty to my eyes, is the SNM37, the orange cousin which I'll get when I find one at the right price... hand6.gif
Daniel...thanks for the additional detail here...you've got me off doing some more research here..this particular Seiko is a bit of a stranger to me (I haven't paid much attention to the "compass" model Seikos, so once again, I feel like I've been living in a cave regarding these models)...so many great pieces by Seiko out thereI like this one alot!!!
Thanks again...
chris I am in the same place as you
I see so many great looking seikos on the daily threads and know so little:). I love the Sumo and the one they call Samurai but they go for lots of $ it seems. I have narrowe it down to 3 I need to research further: the landmonster, yellow kinetic SKA 367 and 385 ( I think they are called
the BFK and Ceasar?) so I have decided to buy one more Seiko but not sure which of these:) though I almost pulled the trigger on
a BFK with a killer bracelet today while I was shopping for my V Wolf:)!!!' it never stops!!
Brice, there are so many great Seikos out there and they give so much value and thus command a big, strong and loyal following.
Check out some of these low-priced models/nicknames and you'll be amazed: Frankenmonster, LandShark, Samurai, Buzzsaw, Knight, MonsterLite and of course, the Monster. Then, set your crosshairs higher and look at the Sumo, Tuna and Marine Master (Prospex), Velatura, and the upcoming Storm Trooper, which are at mid-range. The Storm Trooper is a limited release of 300 units mostly destined for the domestic Japanese market.
Just when think you've had your fill and are about to burp, switch your taste buds to the higher end of the scale and hunt down the Spring Drive and Grand Seiko. Here, the entry level units go for about US$4,000.
It takes a paradigm shift for some of us to trawl the lower-priced end of the watches, but I think if you do your research right and choose well, you'll be very pleased. I still have Seikos of 1975 vintage that run very well, still water-resistant, and still collectible decades after their release.
The hunt never ends.
