First off,DAMN!! It actually came yesterday,but i live in a town-house and we have seperate package drop boxes. If we get a package,they put a key in my mail box so i can open the drop box. The wifey did not see the key yesterday when she got the mail. When Jeff T said he got his and he only lives a couple of towns away,something told me to check my mail box out...well duh,just got a chance now (9:30PM Sun Night in the rain)and woohoo!!! boy10.gifThere it was....nice case it came in too...thanks Berg....now i'm gonna go size it. BTW,it's a TANK!!party.gifsnoopy1.gif

Got mine too!

Mail came late today, so when I got home, there was a package!  Overall, I think the Monstrum is very nice for a $300 watch.  The crown was initially very stubborn to the point where I thought it was defective.  But it wasn't!  I just needed to screw it in and out a couple times to work it in, and it appears to work just fine now.  The watch is so tall it even overwhelms a watchadoo, so I'm keeping the stock strap on for now, which has the fitted ends (the watchdoo leaves a tall gap, which is ok on the Sea Angler but the crystal of the Monstrum makes the watch even taller). Here is my pictorial review (I really need to get a light tent). Enjoy!


1) It was very difficult taking a picture of the dial since the domed crystal reflects just about everything.  Notice how the screws on the lugs stick out.  More on this later. 


2) The size of the watch is imposing.  The lugs are the same size as the Sea Angler though, so it is at the limit of what I can comfortably wear.


2.5) Nice signed Orsa buckle.


3) Comparison with the 3T Sea Angler - the Monstrum looks slightly larger.


4) Side profile - you can see that the Monstrum bezel (left) is taller than the Sea Angler.


5) Notice the Monstrum's bezel (left) sticks out a little bit - this is what makes the watch slightly wider even though the basic case is the same.


6) The domed crystal makes the watch 19mm tall.  This is the largest watch I own, and definitely earns the "Monstrum" name.  It is a beast.


7) The Monstrum has longer screw tubes (top) - this is why they stick out whereas the Sea Angler's (bottom) are flush.  No, the Sea Angler tubes do not fit on the Monstrum, which has slightly smaller holes on the case.


8) The Orsa family - Monstrum and Black Dial Sea Angler


9) The Orsa family - notice the AR coating on the black dialed Sea Angler to the left, I think this one has the optional sapphire crystal.  On the right, the silver Sea Angler.


10 ) Orsa family - Silver and 3T Sea Angler.  Also notice here that the date flip on this one occurs after midnight.


11)  You can see here that the 3T crystal reflects light, and has no AR coating.  To the right, the Lume Angler.


12) A watch box shot showing my Orsa collection, and apparently my left foot.  Only the Orangina is missing!
