I just received my green Orsa Monstrum, (yes my fellow ebay worry-warts... it has finally arrived), and the whole time I have been waiting for it, I've been wondering what, about the watch, is it that places it in the $300. range? Average finish?... weak clasp?... sloppy bezel?... unreliable movement?... what could it be? Well, now that I have had a chance to inspect this monolith, I can tell you with stringent, anal, perfectionist accuracy, that there is NO reason why this watch should be in the 3-bill range--unless it's during a 50% off sale. This baby is simply awesome from ornate back to bezel, with tight fits, clean-ratcheting bezel, flawless and graphically-pleasing dial, attractive bead-blast/polished contrast, super-comfortable rubber strap with a quality clasp... I should stop before my hands get tired. The thick dome sapphire crystal was a great design choice, as it keeps the Monstrum's face from appearing like a vastly flat table top, and keeps in proportion with the heft of case itself. A good authentic diver's watch IMHO should not look like sparkly jewelry with boastful hour markers, that fits well under your Giorgio Armani sleeve--it should look like well-designed, intelligently-featured equipment... you know that whole "form and function" thing that concourses are created for? This Monstrum-ous chunk of stainless steel that sits on my wrist as I write this, is form and function personified, to which I give Berg a big kudos for creating and offering to all of us! Berg, go ahead and take Orsa public--and put me down for 10,000 shares! --JD     Last edited on Tue Feb 12th, 2008 05:38 pm by JDBuckwell |
