Very cool watch! I love the dial. Clean, very nice graphics etc. Definitely looks way more expensive. I can finally give the Monster a break now. I do still believe the Monster Bracelet is much better made than the Samurai. The Sammie has a more fold over, non solid feel to the links. But overall a very nice bracelet. ~E PS I think this watch stays mod free. All is perfect! Attachment: MySammy.jpg (Downloaded 97 times) |

Great watch! I still like it better than the black version. And, I agree the bracelet could be a bit nicer. It's perfectly fine. Just could be better. :) Attachment: sammie1.jpg (Downloaded 93 times) |

I think the white dial looks much better. Lucky for us, most disagree thus the price is lower for the white. :-) Got mine on Ebay for just $137. Saw a day later a lucky guy got it for $127.00 on Ebay. A steal! |

For the $ This is a GREAT watch. The weight, the styling...it is perfect. The dial too with the waffle pattern is stunning. reminds me of an old Tag Heuer I bought for $1600 back in 1990. Very nice watch. I am a Seiko groupie at this point. |

I think I am jumping on that band wagon also, you all know we all are bad influences. I keep looking at Oscars blue monster and Kens yellow and start to think how much I can spend. From what I see we all cosign each other purchases, even if the rest of the world just dosen't understand so that makes it all OK. Every one has to have a hobby. :D:D:D Last edited on Fri May 5th, 2006 08:06 pm by e.avery |

I have the Black Sammi and it is a great watch.........I keep thinking about doing the mcwright "conversion"....and then question whether I want to keep the watch. I love the orange and Blk Monsters, and the YM too, but, in fact, I actually prefer wearing my Yellow dial SKXA35 with the signature Oyster bracelet. I have quite a few Seiko's and love them....my favorite being the ANA.:dude: |

I have owned a few chunky swiss watches in the past...and I am in awe with this Samurai. The lume on this thing wants to scream in broad daylight. I would say it appears a bitbrighter than my Monster. Also seems to glow for a longer period. I still prefer the feel of my monster bracelet, but all else is Samurai all the way. The dial has a surgical instument-like precsion to it. Very clean. One of the best watch purchases I have ever made. Especially whne you factor in the cost $137.00. I have always been more about bang for buck, and I think this watch satisfies that criteria. I am no longer quick to buy the $3000 omega as I once was. My budget these days, does not support that approach. Got a 7 yr old that is growing and growing. ;-) Thank you Seiko. |

Sweet Sammi Eric. The quality shows. Enjoy!! I've got an OM coming and after seeing this...well perhaps I need a Sammi!! I've had a trio of the Seiko 5 autos for awhile but they are too small after lugging around some 45mm chunk of SS. I am certain the OM will exceed expectations based on the glowing feedback everyone has for it, and I am now certain a Sammi would do the same... Pokemanyu on the Bay??

Hey Pax, you are going to LOVE the BM. You will no doubt eventually need a samurai. They are beautiful watches. A bit larger than the BM. :dude: |

Have purchased many Seiko from pokemonyu...........quality dealer! That said, I am certain the OM will exceed your exceeded expectations...there is nothing quite like holding a Seiko Monster for the 1st time and being overwhelmed by the value of it. There are some who don't exactly like the case, but everyone raves about the bracelet and workmanship! BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK IN WIS-DOM! Paxman wrote: Sweet Sammi Eric. The quality shows.

I own both an OM and a Black Sammie. (as well as a 009, SKXA35, and a Landshark) IMHO the Sammie has the edge case wise and the monster has the edge bracelet wise. Both watches would cost you dear if they were Swiss. |

Here's a couple that go under the radar. The Limited PRODUCTION BLuM - too expensive for many - with not enough exclusivity. 7S36 with a sapphire crystal from the low to mid $300's and Seiko Japan's ALBA LE 7S26 1-999 - neat looking watch - ALBA's first Auto-matic  Last edited on Tue May 9th, 2006 08:47 pm by mikiehorn |

Hey Milkie I cant see your Blu Mon pic or is it my computer? Anyway that's a nice watch but I cant seems to get myself togather to even by one even after I've bought the Black just something about it. Dont worry I've seen yours posted else where |

photobucket seems to work on my end both at work and home. Try deleting your cookies. The BluM does't get any wrist time - waiting to see if there is any collector value (right now - I don't think so) - as it is still in "limited Production". The Alba is in the same category - waiting to see if any collectors have an interest in a Seiko made yellow dial LE of 1000...... |
