Reply With QuoteHad both black and orange monster. Black one gets worn most days but just wasn't keen with the Orange one so sold it within a month. Each to their own I suppose.
Wearing one right now - bought a SRp307 (newer model black face) as a kind of beater. Wasn't sure when i first got it but its grown on me a lot and i really appreciate the amount of watch u get for the money. Its the best time keeper of any watch i've ever owned.

I have recently bought a black dial one with red highlights from Creation - I like it!
Thought about it a few times, but I can't get along with the steel bezel and crown guards. Maybe one day I'll give it a shot.
pretty much my own history:second question is: have you ever sold a monster and then brought them again?
I will start
sold 3 om 2bm
at present 1om 1bm
going to get the blue black monster
sold 3 om 2bm
then the missus got upset and told me she liked the orange one
so had to get an orange one and of course if you have an orange one you should have a black one
so:
at present 1om and 1bm
bm currently on my wrist and has been in rotation for a couple of weeks.
I had one, had to see what the fuss was about, but I didn't get on with it at all and after wearig it around the house a couple of times it got flipped. I have no plans to buy another one.
I own the same watch, but with 'mov't Japan' on the dial. To answer the OP I've never sold one, but I think I'm going to sell this one as I'm tiring of the sporty looks and prefer the markers of the older models.Originally Posted by DB9yeti
I was swayed by the newest version - far better movement, a very nicely made watch at the price and lots to look at. Actually a very good bit of kit!

Until I joined a forum I thought a Monster was just something that haunted children's dreams but members kept writing about Monster this and Monster that so I had a look and BAM! I was smitten by them.
I bought this one on here ages ago and as much as I like it, it rarely gets worn, if I'm honest.
Might get it out tomorrow. My 5 yo son is a fan.
I bought two on this very forum and used the as holiday watches. One black and one orange and was really impressed with them. Are they really marmite watches?
Good point Willow. The comments thus far seem to support the marmite watch comment. I am quite surprised at all of the negative comments about monsters. And I can understand that having got shot of a few myself.Many have commented on how ugly they look.and its hard to disagree with that. I do feel though that its ugliness is part of its appeal. It would take a large stretch of the mind to say its a beautiful looking watch. I have worn them on many straps, bracelets ect. I think they imho look best, for me anyway is on one of eddies large Rhinos. (Imho Eddies rhinos are the bvfm strap of its kind, also the best quality and most comfortable. )
Bought a first gen OM, wore it on and off for 3 years then sold it for a 2nd gen OM, but that one was sold again...
Arrived here many moons ago and thought life revolved around the likes of Rolex, Breitling and Omega. Having had my eyes opened to the real world, the first watch I buy off SC is an Orange Monster.
The OM is, IMHO, the best holiday watch bar none....or at least mine is to me.

BM purchased last year, OM just ordered this weekend.
I love them, in their own fugly way.
please could you tell me where you got the spy and cutlass mod.I bought this one on here ages ago and as much as I like it, it rarely gets worn, if I'm honest.
Might get it out tomorrow. My 5 yo son is a fan.
It's from Yobokies AFAIK. It was already modded when I got it.
Had this for a while.
I think the monster is a much better watch than the SKX IMHO and I have both,
Had both years ago. Tuned me in to how cool Seiko's are and what a great watch they make...
Two for me too, had them as 'holiday watches' and thought that they were superb. I started a thread about how I was so impressed with them for the price
