Seiko Monsters

@ watchbuff lol

that is funny. (simulator)

yeah i am amazed at the lumibrite and how brightly it glows. Mine's used from GoatDweller, and it still glows like a torch. I put one of those rubber straps with a clasp on it onto my BM and it rocks.

I have the black one.

waiting around to see if i can snag an orange.

but too many watches i want now...

By the water . . .I've had it for about 2 years and it remains one of my favorite watches especially for sailing or anything near the water.

How about mine...its like a black monster on STEROIDs!

ive seen this watch for sale,had one on my wrist and it is AWSOME!! my next gen purchase will be this watch only the yellow dial caught my eye

 

[watchbuff]

Got this beauty today! practically new!!!!!! So now I am torn between the orange and the blue. I'll only keep one! Take a peeky!
Question? These do not get manually wound? And is there a better way to change the day of week other than the Pain in the ass way of setting the time to swing the day? These are non- hacking as well. Not a favorite of mine but the lume is almost electric.

That's a beauty..You should be able to change the day by pulling corwn to first setting then turn counter-clockwise..Least that's how mine works.

I have to add also whenever I set the day I normally advance it till the day turns over, go a little pass 4 a.m. then set to any day you want.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!

 

[cybee]

THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Sure thing ...don't you just hate getting a new watch then having to wade through the instructions in Swahili, Tonga, and Prussian.

i love my BM. wished ever so that i had bought one earlier.

Nice, you still have it!
Are you done with the calling cards yet?

Damn, the watch still looks like brand new!

no, they don't manually wind. to set the day pull the crown out to the first postion and turn one way sets the day and the other way sets the date.

why are you going to sell your other one? you don't want 2 of them? lol :lol:

you can get the second hand to stop for setting the time. with the crown all the way out, put a little back pressue by turning the crown backwards. that will keep the second hand in place so you can sync the watch perfectly.

I've come close many times on almost getting one but never fully pulled the trigger...

One of these days I just might.

i can even make my orange monster back up by doing that but my blue one won't even stop much less back up. i am not sure the blue monster has the same movement as the orange and black. i think it is the one in the yellow one.

 

[watchbuff]

I guess I'll keep the 2. The blue has the stainless band which is raeal swet.I got the rubber with the orange. I might toy around with a NATO band that is in Fleabay order.

Im almost certain the movements are the same from the Blue to the ORange. I did notice when the day of the week swings in the day of the week is written in another language on the day wheel which flips past to reveal the day in the "queens english"

I'll try the pressure on the stem, I just dont want to stress any parts to their break point. I want to keep these. BNoy, bending a winding stem is exactly what started the firestorm between Ziggy and I. Who woulda thought

I found a home.

I got the blue for a song ($200.00) and could not pass it up. The lume is great on oth. This forum is swinging toward the "center" of entry level gens as well.....I like. ( we almost could call ourselves legit....maybe not)

the downward back pressure you apply is very very slight, you won't damage it. the yellow monster has a different movement in it and it seems like i read along time ago that the blue one has that same movement but no sapphire crystal with date mag, it would be easy to research. my orange monster has english and spanish on the date wheel. the blue one has english and roman numerals. the blue one is a thailand only release like the red and yellow. if you got it for 200.00 you stoled it. there are 1,800 of them if i remember correctly. there are 1,310 of the red and 300 of the yellow. all of those were only realest in thailand for their major watch show. your blue one should have come with the rubber and ss bracelets, that is how they were sold. i have the ss and rubber for both o mine.
