I must admit I really brought this out of curiosity as it is always having it's praises sang by the WIS community and because the price was so very tempting!
Now after handling one, I can safely say I am very impressed with the build quality, weight, the bezel movement alone is excellent. Really stands up to watches costing many times more. So it doesn't have a sapphire crystal or a hacking movement, it is still amazing value even at it's RRP even better second hand :lol: It is ideal as a beater and deserves to be in any watch collection. :D
I haven't been brave enough to faff around adjusting the bracelet so I have put it on my spare Bremont MB II nylon strap with orange stitching. I think they go well together, what do you think? :thumbup:

I agree, nice combo 8)
I have a Seiko Sports 5 as my daily beater and every time I put it on I think exactly the same in terms of feel, quality etc. it belies the sub £100 price tag.

I'm really going to struggle to not buy one of these at that price. Was going to go with a Steinhart for a daily beater but these seem so rugged whilst still looking good.
This always looks better on other's wrist...probably discontinued and replaced by new models...that I like the black bezel more
A great daily beater, it looks very robust and sturdy. Some good wrist shot also :D
On my wishlist. But with the black dial :)
Love the Monster,congrats!
I sold mine few days ago :)
Nice! my beater was a seiko 007! Now its a Precista 18A
Great combination. I have often thought about trying a Monster but haven't got round to it yet.
Another here on the list of ditherers!
Put off perhaps by the fact I didn't find the wrist presence of my previous SKX011J quite right for me, mostly due to the bulbous case back. This might be a different kettle of fish of course and despite being quite a lump I think they are a pretty fine looking lump, though perhaps I'd fancy a longer hour hand.
The stock bracelet is supposed to be one of Seiko's far better efforts if I've read correctly.
good choice. the bracelet is very good considering the price
