Seiko Orange Monster

[Krypto]

Just pulled the trigger on a Seiko BM after reading John's articles on the piece.
How do those watcehs hold up long term?
Is the color a really bright orange?
Any feedback much appreciated as I am awaiting the package.

Merry Christmas to all.

You'll have no long term issues, rest easy. The Monsters are simply one of the best values on the planet. The 7s26 movement is reliable, and can be very accurate. My OM was running about -4spd on average, but I sold her a few months after getting my BM. The BM is running about +8spd which isn't bad.

The only downside is it is a non-hacking movement that cannot be manually wound. Not a biggie for me as this one sits on a winder when not being worn.

Yes, the orange is VERY orange indeed!

Good luck, and here are some decent images of mine.........

Decent images. Huh.

I think I see a molecule out of place on the second hand on the last shot.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great examples, Jim - as always.

;D Thanks Pat.

Wearing my OM today. Awesome watch. Very easy to read. I have had mine for about a year, no problems and fairly accurate too.

Not bad Oompa....I think I've got a pic or two of the OM. ;D

Wow,
Jim... your pics man.... somehow I would like to have every watch you photograph.
Thank you all for the replies... looking forward to receiving the package. I am also excited about the lume... from what I read in your posts and reviews it's one of the best.
