Well, if it's the case you want to match you will definitely want to go with the Blasted Watchadoo finish. 

IMO it will more closely match...I don't think it will be an absolute perfect match however as the Monstrum has a Sandblasted case finish which has a subtle grey tone that has resulted in the end finish (almost a titanium look if you ask me, but not quite as dark as titanium can look).

If you use the search tool, you will see several Monstrums and Sea Anglers that are on the Watchadoo.

JMHO, but I have yet to see a perfectly matched bracelet on a Monstrum. The blasted Watchadoo works well for a Sea Angler, but as Chris said, the Monstrum's finish is just a bit different. Imo, the Monstrum is well suited to a variety of strap options, though.

Thanks for the input and pics guys...I agree that the case on my Orsa is a darker grey close to a titanium color, which is why I was a little unsure about the watchadoo's, which appear to be lighter in color. Im not sure how I will proceed, but I dont think I'll get the exact match as you have said.

Better yet you could always have the case blasted to match...;)

I have to agree, I've tried a brushed watchadoo on one of my Monstrums and it does not look right. Way to much of a color variation.
